if i won the lotto
Everyone is freaking out about winning the mega millions and dreaming about what they would do with 500 million dollars and to be honest everyone's "dreams" are extremely weak and you probably don't deserve to win $500 bil if you are going to use it stupidly.
what i WOULD NOT DO that you might do:
1. pay off my student loans. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT American Education Services! I don't need good credit, I'll pay cash for everything for the rest of my life, fuck you! It doesn't matter that I COULD, it matters that I no longer live by the same set of rules.
2. same with my credit card. Forget you citi bank, and your wild interest charges! jokes on you now! come get me! get in line after AES!
3. donate to a church - just no. charirty? yes, of course, i'm not a monster. but a church? no. never.
4. "live the same lifestyle" - um no. why? what a waste of wealth. my lifestyle will completely change. I would go HAM like lloyd and harry.
5. "take my time, not make any rash decisions" - haven't you had your entire life to prepare for this moment? if I won like 5k then yes, I would have to think about what exactly I would do with it. But if I won 500 million I am not going to think about ANYTHING. I'm just going to buy EVERYTHING. LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
WHAT I WOULD DO THAT YOU MIGHT DO.
1. pay off the loans and debts of friends and family - because I'm sorry to say, loved ones, but you and I are now in different worlds. You have realities, and I no longer do. Your credit matters to your life in a way it will never matter to me again. I will be happy to get you all out of debt.
2. travel. everyone says they would travel. i obviously would travel also. I would start by going to this very expensive car dealership that I pass everyday on my way to get wawa for lunch and ask for the most expensive car and buy it. Then I would drive all over the place. Joe would probably come with me. I don't know what we will do with Tony. I will pay someone 1 million dollars to watch him for me.
3. buy franchises of everything i love. (thank you Annie for this idea) I would buy a subway franchise, a wawa franchise, a chili's franchise, and maybe an arby's franchise for joe just so I could show up at these locations whenever I felt like it and get all my favorite foods for free.
4. buy land. once in a lifetime movie I watched when I was little (or it was a Disney movie or it was a TV show I really can't say for sure) someone asks someone else what they should invest in, and a very wise man says "land. God isn't making anymore of it." - that has always stuck with me so I think I will follow this fictional characters words of wisdom and buy some LAND. TBA where and how much. Maybe some Riggins type Texas Forever land. For some reason I think that might have been from the movie "Three to Tango" but I'm not sure.
5. donate to charity. Because I have a soul. I would give a lot of it away to charities that help people.
