I've lived broke before. I've lived poor before. I'm practically living middle-class like currently in an alternative way because I'm in a SIL (Semi Independent Living program for people on SSI like me, where U get to reside in a nice apartment as a co-tenant w/ someone else on SSI). I must now see what it is like to live upper-class. For the 1st time this year, I recently purchased a Mega Millions ticket of an easy pick option for Tuesday's 160 million jackpot drawing. If I should win lets just say I want to live in Vegas in a nice house built by Lennar. That is all.
Because the looks on the previous owners faces would be priceless. Imagine a pack of very well off assholes expecting to continue their jobs after a business was sold, come to work on Monday and "nope no work boys" and then a bulldozer comes through. And then I'd just walk off "seeyas" never see them again.
Win lottery ticket and live in Las Vegas... now why would you want to do that? Ive never been to Vegas but ive drove through Nevada and there are better places on this earth lol.. Don't you know Nevada was a nuclear test site for decades? Don't forget that city is built from people who bet over a principal finical group that you are not supposed to win. I suggest going somewhere else warm. Find a native girl in the country who likes your accent and make it happen!
i wouldn't choose to live in vegas either, but different people like to live different places. otherwise, we'd all be packed into a few square miles somewhere, in the desirable location. i suppose vegas might be a good place for a lottery winner who likes to rub his success in other people's faces.
win or loose life goes on. i'd build my village idea if i ever got the chance to, but that big prize idea, well you know the odds. i live in nevada where every bar and grocery store has mini-casino off in one corner and i don't know why, but i'm not even attracted. i almost feel like i ought to be, but i'm not.
indeed. without investing more thought and research into it. this becomes pretty much inevitable. when my wife died, someone could have given me the 50k she had inhiereted, but instead they helped set my up with a much more modest income. this was, i forget, five or more years ago. at today's cost for everything, just living and not too extravigantly at that, the odds are i would have blown through that 50k in about four years or so. still would have been nice to have had a piece of land somewhere and a way to get there, even just to sit on and starve. and who knows but what i MIGHT have been able to build something self sustaining there. but it certainly wouldn't have happened just by having any amount to spend initially.
