that is correct.Originally Posted by Tasuki_Civic
I would pay off all my true friends bills and debt, along with my family. then drop off the radar and enjoy life without the worry of money
IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS, THERE ARE MANY HAPPY PEOPLE OUT THERE
"thats only natural to help those around you......i mean realyl if you won 20 billion dollars i know a good wad would be passed out to certain family and friends" -Can you even imagine what 20 bill' is? Wouldnt you spare at least 2 bill' to help people that have no food?

yeah, with winning a rather substantial amount of money, i'd work slow....but those things i mentioned before, i'd either rethink, or i'd do them. butfirst and foremost, i'd resolve whatever material issues i have.
Is julio ever postive?
I agree with Julio here, its not the asshole thing and I believe some people do NEED help but I'm convinced that some people make a living off of bumming from others.. I bought a meal for a guy a couple of weeks ago and I dont get that warm feeling any more from helping people that are physically and mentally able to put theirselves in a better position. My motto is now.. fuck em. When people can move here from other countries, provide for theirself and their family what excuse do you have when you've been here all your life and haven't done anything but take from society?
I'll just flat out say it.. if I won the lotto I'd be 10x the asshole I've ever been. Does that mean I've changed? No, I'm just sure more people would bring it out of me than they do now.
Money does change things. I had a job where I was the middleman for ppl in other countries importing and exporting paintings and I avg. 5k a week. My ego shot threw the roof, my vehicles increased and so did the aftermarket parts. I actually got out of because the guy I used sent me 10k in bad money once, now Im about to get back in it but use someone else. I know now though dont waste my money and buy 62 plasmas or some dumb sports car again.
now that sounds like a job i'd like to get into! Not just for the money but be fun to photograph all of them and run an auction site or something.Originally Posted by yamalube4011
I cant sit around and do nothing so I would start a bunch of businesses untill I made enough to give what I won to charity. Then I would be rich but with the money I earned.
I dont think i would be happier per-say but i would be less stressed out about finaces. i would definately help out my folks. and i would open up my own business wich ive been dreaming about . i would still work because i cant just sit at home and be MR.mom. i think it depends on what u do with the money that counts. if blowing it all away on hookers and booze makes u happy then whatever. but i would much rather be able to support my family financially with out the stress of wether i can afford the water this month. as a father it would be great to be able to give my little girl everything she needs and some that she doesnt so long as she understands the true value of money.
I would buy 100 of the most riced out civics, eclipses, other misc fwd cars and give 1 to every IA member to show my love. Then I'd buy a house probably 750k-1mill, not insanely too big, all my dream cars then I'd invest the rest into opening a few businesses I want. Maybe a night club or 2, few restuarants(sp?), I'd probably help QD with his old school honda cause that shit is awesome. I'd do a raffle drawing between friends and give away my r33 because it's a piece and already needs an engine rebuild lol. Then I'd take a long vacation, cruise to the bahamas, then maybe to paris, Japan just because I want to see if the hype is really all it is. I dunno, within 6months I'd probably be filing bankrupt

in all honesty, i THINK that i would be happier.
not because i'm shallow, but because that's the truth.
but you really can't say if you would or wouldnt until it happened to you.
invest and put a part in bank account for interest to grow and use a part of it for whatever.
I dunno where all of yall grew up or how much money your family has but i grew up poor more than often. if i won the lottery, i could quit my job and spread the money amongst my family members. id buy the house, cars etc.
If I won the lottery, I would buy my mother(first!!! before i satisfy myself) whatever she wants. Then buy a jet and fly over the world, having sex with the hottest women of their country, driving the fastest cars, and breaking every law i saw fit. Then Id come back home and act like nothing happened. Id just have a bad ass couple cars and a nice little house(not like some 5 million dollar house). Buy a company and work.
Money makes me very very happy, only because Ive never had it.
oh P.S- can we sway swiss bank account...
Id take the money- Invest/+ Buy Property + put the money..where the money is .
It depends on how much, if its alot more then I could spend. I would pay off all my debuts and my fiances.....I dont think he has anyways. I would buy my family a house, and Chris' mom anything she wanted, invest and save alot. I would also buy a house for Chris and I, a couple of cars oh and an HDTV cause thats what he really wants. For me um dunno car, house would be my major thing...pretty much the one thing I have always wanted. I am sure more, but I cant think of any
I would buy a Z and deck it out, then buy a new skyline and deck that out too.
Rebuild the house I used to live in, since it sits on 1/2 acre on a quiet street.
Then buy a small island, move there (b/c right now the US sucks)
and put the rest in a swiss bank acct, giving it out to family that ACTUALLY NEEDS IT and donating some to charity.

u know what, i'll take one for the team and find out if those study findings were real....now hook me up w/a winning lotto ticket![]()
yeah hands down i'd be happier... i cant see how someone can oppose that. A large amount of the big problems i've had in life, when i traced them down they came to money. For example, breaking a law: getting busted, court fees, etc otherwise who gives a fuck, right? ... fuckin "what about my record" ... Why does your "record" matter? Think about it.... "getting a job?", etc ... "insurance rates" etc Its just the root of a lot of problems.... An instant boost will surely solve those problems and create a new set of problems, but IMO, those problems are something that i've never faced before... ya know? People are saying that a large lump sum will kill "the struggle" who says its not a struggle to manage what you got? Its not as easy as you think... half the mofos who go broke 1 yr after a large payout are the same chappelle show "I'm rich beeyoch" people...
anyways there it is... in essence I dont see how receiving money can be a bad thing... Regardless. (with the right mindset- that is)
I would be happier personally. First I would buy my g/f an engagment ring. Move back to Canada and live a normal life. Have a normal size house somewhat new car, and keep a normal and steady car. I would stick all the money I won nto the bank and save it. I wouldn't go nuts and buy all this shit I have ever wanted.
I would go on a 3 month vacation to find a new country to move to. Japan, Great Britian, Germany, Italy, Australia, Brazil.....
Probably live in Japan for awhile and do some business in Hong Kong. Get even richer by starting a big company, and then build fast cars and flirt with beautiful women. I would also get my pilot's license so I could travel anytime... all by myself.... just fly away for awhile.
One day, I would hope to own my own little exotic car company, and work on a greener car for the enthusiasts.
