TheGreatBuzz Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My wife and I go to Biloxi a few times a year. I can usually win enough at the poker table to cover the trip. That's about the only time I gamble though, other then a friendly $5 bet on a football game or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Gonna put some money on the skins to win the super bowl when I go to Vegas in a few weeks. Long enough shot that it may be worth the payout?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 600m dollars, your unborn kids with your future supermodel wife have retired, and their kids too.

Warhead36 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 What people don't take into account is that taxes takes a big chunk of that, and you don't get it all at once. You can either take a lump sum of a significantly less amount, or take regular annual installments. Personally I'd rather have the regular installments if I ever were to win, its nice to know i have a guaranteed $100K every year and can just relax the rest of my life. But again, I don't play that non sense, because I know it'll never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take home $400 million that's more than I could spend in 3 lifetimes. When yiu invest theres return and also risk.you hit a 2008 event and you lose 60% of your value? No thanks. i accept that risk with my 401k because it won't grow otherwise. With the largesse you've already hit the number you are trying to build. Imo, that point it's more about wealth preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Lump sum and after taxes, I would take half of that and set up a foundation, and have my daughter run it if she wants. Give grants for abortion services, voter registration services, female only lands, and Meals on Wheels. The other half would be set up into trusts to buy houses for family and to pay real estate taxes and insurance, another trust to buy rental properties for passive income, and an RV for me, a property in Michigan for a summer home. Then I would travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
