14. If you won the lottery...
Depends on how much the lottery winnings were. Believe it or not you can't live the rest of your life on a million bucks so my approach to that would be very different to, say, winning 300 million dollars which of course you totally can.
If I won $1million: I would pay off all my debts. This would come to about $40k so it's worthwhile to do. I would then consult a financial advisor with the rest of the money and come up with a plan on the best way to strike a balance between investment/profit of the money and low-risk of losing any of it. If we could come up with a way to generate a yearly profit/interest of even just $20k that would be great and would just become part of my income. I would still work. I might buy a house.
If I won way more than that, like the mega $300million jackpot, I would:
- consult the financial advisor first because I wouldn't even know what to do with that much money. Probably find the best one money can buy and have him/her become manager of my accounts and that sort of thing because wow confusing and scary
- pay off all my debts
- quit my jobs
- go travelling over America for a year
- go travelling over the world for the year after that
- buy a house in Arizona (for the winter), and one in Maine (for the summer)
- buy my dad anything he wants. house, car? whatever
- start up a non-profit or scholarship or something like that
- open my own business to keep myself entertained, like a comic shop or something, and run it even if it isn't profitable because YAY
- give a lot of money away to non-profits and things, some causes I believe in
- go to kickstarter and buy the biggest tier donation on like EVERYTHING
- idk just find great ways to give away money
- make a young avengers movie happen. SOMEHOW. i'm rich, i can do it now
- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: go to every con in the world basically

Date: 2013-10-26 04:01 am (UTC)i agreee with you so much. i feel like i could easy waste a million in like, 4 days. I would keep working and just pay off my family's mortgages (and future mortgages) it would make quality of life 230429% better, by my life wouldn't change much.
although i'd still probably go to comic con even if it was only 1 million (lololol only)

What kind of nonprofit would you start?

Date: 2013-10-28 09:10 pm (UTC)I really hate working so I have thought about this subject extensively and how I could not ever have to work again if I won a ton of money. XD Hookers and blow is totes valid though.
That's a good question! I'd like to start up some sort of 'apprentice' type of program. Similar to what interns are meant to be but still getting a stipend of some kind + not abused as coffee fetching gophers. It's so hard to get jobs these days because "entry level" now apparently means "5 years of experience" so I could help people get a foot into their career choice! I did a year with AmeriCorps which is very similar to my idea but AmeriCorps is a gov't program so it's a bit stricter. I like the concept but I'd open it to more than simply people wanting to work in service jobs.
