If you were financially set, would you still work?
« on: October 29, 2013, 10:53:00 AM »
I never understood those people that win the Lotto but still go to work or rich people with Hundreds of millions to billions that still bust their ass everyday to make more.  If you had enough $$$ and were set, would you still do the daily grind?

I know I wouldn't.  I would just travel the world, stay in shape and never deal with co-workers bullshit again.

Couldnd do nothing id crack up. Plus it would mean being stuck with wor lass more often :-\

I'd then have my own little farm. So I'd be working, but enjoying it.

it's because the people who win the lotto have no idea how to make their own money... they ALWAYS work for someone else.

give me a million and i'll earn $250k on it every year for as long as I want. (legally, mind you).


most people have no long-term goals.. or lack the ability to even THINK long term.


if, for instance i'd pick up a $1 lottery ticket just for shits and giggles while i'm getting gas one day and I won a large sum of money (lets say a few million, after taxes... those blood-sucking-liberal-leaches)

i'd live in a 5br home (probably in Coronado), i'd probably have 2-3 cars and an suv/truck... all certified pre-owned, none new. probably an S550 (for me), a Range Rover Sport (for her and the kids), an a 'toy' for myself, probably a Nissan GT-R... and that'd be it... no Ferrari's, no lambos, ect...

i'd have 5-8 2br rental homes, netting about $500-1k/month each (after mortgage... of course i'll have mortgages, it'll be one of the few tax breaks i'll get)

i'd have 300k in a low-yield dividend funds (4.5-6%)
300-500k in hi-yield dividend funds (8-15%)
and maybe 300k in a higher risk fund or a REIT (15%+)

and 500k in a prop-trading account (probably with interactive brokers)

and a couple a couple 100k annuities.

now, managing #1 the rental properties, and #2 the investment accounts would absolutely still be WORK... so yes, i'd still WORK... just not for anybody else. lol.

oh, and i'd probably still cruise on 1g test & 500mg deca with 8iu humatrope  ;D and cruise easy at about 235 at 8% and eat like a normal person, and train 3-4x a week.

I'm not the kind of person that could just sit around and not work like some welfar cowboy

I'd probably just start my own business doing something I like

Really I don't see how my life would change much..probably surf a lot more

This is my dream life.

Out in the country. Acres of land. Farmer John. Living off the land. Riding horses.

This is my dream life.

Ellison.. :)

larry's a cool guy. he's a client of one of my clients... my client wanted me to put together a biz plan and present it to larry. lol.. I said, I don't think he'd be interested in a $45k investment that'd pay out just a few %... met him a few times but never pitched him the idea since I had other things in the works.

Lol...wrong spelling.....I admire this fucker....he's the one billionaire that really spend his money and enjoying life......was it last year that he bought an island in Hawaii for $600+ million and he's known to be spending even more on Cars, Boats, of course and his many real estate all over the US......but for every penny he spent, he made 100 times more......he said several years ago that he wants to surpass Bill Gates, but I don't think that's gonna happen.....he was number 3 on forbes list as the 3rd Billionaire in the country behind Buffet

glad you think that's funny 'shizzo'... go back to your minimum wage job and living your life knowing nobody.

after I said "fuck no, i'm not asking Larry Ellison to loan me money", he tells me to call another buddy of his he went school with, who happened to be the guy who started/owns "Fiji" water, because he's the guy who fronted his other buddy the cash to start 2xU clothing (a Under Armour knock-off).

have fun being a life long loser working min wage before somehow getting on disability and living in a studio and riding the bus to the store where you use your Food stamp card to buy bread and milk.
