Stop Talking, Start Doing |

Those are just the odds. I have no ill will towards strangers who happen to win a jackpot. I don’t get any thrill when I tell someone that, given their age, they’ll likely die at 86 years old or whatever the actuarial tables say. The biggest thing is that a million dollars is going to require husbanding. Financial advisors would say you can safely spin off $40,000 a year. That’s not enough to live a wanton lifestyle. No one is besmirching their character or reputation. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I’m not trying to rain on they’re parade but the typical person who plays the lottery is not going to a financial advisor to plan for the future. They’re going on a spending spree and they’ll have some fun, get some new toys and then wonder where it all went. Very few people can handle that kind of money when it just comes out of nowhere. Maybe these people will be smart with the money but it’s not likely. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||
