I’m adding layers. Seeing evolutions. Uruguay won. Mexico won. The Super Eagles lost ?1? There is no rhyme or reason to these things is there? So I have had no takers on my challenge to share with me “What kind of millionaire would I be?” (I meaning, you). So I’ll keep revealing bits about what my plans were in my previous iteration of this project. I imagined with $40 million dollars, I would set up several $1 million dollar trusts, a couple $5 million, and a couple of $10 million dollar trusts. I started doing top-of-the-head calculations about interest to be earned for such accounts. Figuring a modest 4% return on $10 million, if I took out 2% each year and reinvested 2% every year that would be $200k/ year. A very nice annual income, with a built-in cost of living increase every year. The $1 million accounts would return $20k every year with a similar built-in increase. So I would spread $1 million dollar accounts among family members. Keep one $10 million account for myself and my immediate family, and a $5 million account for previously mentioned medical concerns. I felt very responsible in my management of these massive imaginary sums. But somehow, I never won. I concluded, privately, that there is no god, and virtuous thoughts earn you nothing. So with that in mind. I still feel virtuous, and genuinely endorse the previous set of (currently unselected) numbers. 9, 16, 23, 34, 47, 52
And ...if you don’t win with these numbers it’s clear proof that there is no god. And you thought that separating immigrant children from their parents was all the proof you needed, didn’t you?
Now... am I allowed to root for Tunisia tomorrow? Probably not, eh? I’ll root for England -- if you play my numbers for Wednesday. Deal?
