If you won the lottery, would you still continue to work?

[larryeastwood]

Your company has an unlimited 401(k) match?????

I worded that wrong. Not unlimited but I would max out at the highest amount I could.

 

[2oh6ridah]

No but I'd probaby die doing something stupid with all that money. I seem to hurt myself often on my days off lol. Or I'd probably OD or get involved with the wrong people and get killed.

I was gonna say, thats a hell of a company.

 

[djyoung08]

dope thread.

for the record, no i would not work.

at least not for the foreseeable future.

with millions of dollars to my name, there's absolutely no way I could have peasant telling me what to do

 

[ballahb]

Yes I would work,
but i'd get a job doing something I enjoy rather than a crappy job that pays well

 

[blade br0wn]

Yes, I'd definitely work... My new job would essentially be maintaining and investing all of those M's...

I wouldn't quit my current job off the bat...

• 
  
  [*] I'd switch to part-time or find a part-time position within my agency...
  
  [*] Go back to school to learn how to manage and invest money...
  
  [*] Grab my diploma and leave the ceremony in a f**kin Ferrari helicopter...
  
  [*] Start new life

Let's just say you won a jackpot of $500 million. Question is in the title. Discuss.

Me personally, yes because I can't imagine just doing nothing all day everyday. Yes, I can travel and ****, but I'm going to run out of stuff to do real quick.

all i want is this money

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I still can't fathom running out of stuff to do with that much bread.

 

[SoleByThePound]

 
hell no!  Work on things i've always wanted to do, but not a regular old 9-5

This!

 

[swendro]

I don't doubt some of you love your job, but there's gotta be stuff you could love a whole lot more with millions in your possession.

 

[Master Zik]

Reading some of these others posts, I wouldn't give the fam anything. I'd be totally unreachable, especially if they throwing 250k back in my face if I offered.

I'd straight up be Keyser Soze to the world.

As far as this still working stuff or quitting and getting another job, I really can't call it work if I'm doing something I love.

I still can't fathom running out of stuff to do with that much bread.

Yeah, dudes got some limited imaginations on here when it comes to certain things.

 

[tomdiginson]

I'd retire from life.

 

[Mark Antony]

I'm still baffled by dudes saying they wouldn't quit because they'd lose their health insurance. That's weird man.

 

[killua]

so y'all hit for 500 m's, and you talking about investing and opening businesses (which can still be stressful)? i mean i understand the concept but bruh you got 500 m's! growing up me and my folks (who both worked full time) were living off less than $30k a year, if i came into that much money i KNOW i could make that **** last a lifetime. inb4 "scared money" but why take the risk of losing even a penny of your fortune on an investment gamble? **** goes sour, business fail, etc. 

y'all want that Scrooge McDuck money? lol youd die before you got to spend all that **** in its entirety

if i hit it big, **** everyone in my family but my grandfather. id buy im a DEVILISH cadillac and give him $2 million so he could live the rest of his life absolutely stress free. id buy myself a respectable house (**** a mansion) and a respectable car. brand new of course, but probably under 40 racks. set aside AT THE ABSOLUTE MOST $10 million to cover food, bills, and expenses for the rest of my life. ive already done all that, and i still have well over $400 million, and y'all talking about you need more. lmao

I know a guy who's father won a couple million back in 94 and he kept working so his job would pay for his sons chemo. I can see that with the amount he won, but 500 million is a different story.

Right there with you...

my first thought that came to mind was "eh.. i'd probably just get a bigger TV and maybe scoop up a couple grails worry free"

 

[c hanna]

i'd think about teaching or helping out kids. Have always had a passion for that and would definately enjoy it

This thread is very telling of the members here and what their understanding is of what a job is.

Some guy even called people in his office "peasants", all because he has $500 MM overnight. This community has a lot of growing up to do.

Aint no way your only paying 20% taxes on a lottery prize of that much money. I remember about 15 years ago my uncle won 100k, and his check was in the low 60's.

Figure your going to pay at least half that 500m. Not that it would make a difference for most people.

 

[stillin729]

I would quit my job but I would start a business such as a bar with great sandwiches and great beer

 

[Coromanti]

Invest. Perhaps start a business.

 

[willzway26]

If I was going back to my job, it would be to smash all the bad joints.  All of them.  One by one like a Bruce Lee movie.

Some people here work fast food, my dude.

You think they're hitting for $500m and going back to being harassed cuz the cheese ain't melted all the way on that burger?

That's immature to you?
