Even two ways. There are taxes and the fact that the jackpot as stared is not the annuity value.Originally posted by Aeson View Post12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

How do lotteries accumulate big jackpots? (I don't know much about them at all, really, except that they supposedly go to funding public schools and medicare

After taxes... 90% into long term savings while the other 10% gets blown on what ever I want. Then go back to work and pretend it doesn't exist until retirement time rolls around.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Yeah, 10MM cash after taxes gets you about 400k in spending every year (before you pay cap gains/interest income tax) on some of it.Given how much I save and the higher rate of taxation I pay, my lifestyle would improve without needing to work any more.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View Post12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

At my age 5 mill would have me off to florida figuring I could survive on 100k a year for 50 years even assuming no income from what I wasn't spending. That would take care of inflation.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I would never retire. Probably spend my time counting my money -- or the equivalent of it (investing).I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

It would be interesting to build or buy a winery some where and maybe build a "green" home allowing you to more or less live off the grid. In the right location you could maybe find a partner to open a restaurant on the property to sell or something to help pay the bills. You could have a nice little rural lifestyle.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
