Best part about winning the Lottery?

I can see that you have all this figured out. People generally live given what they have. meaning that if they earn 40k a year, they live like a 40k lifestyle. let's say that an uncle or aunt give a guy who makes 40k a 5k cash. that person who makes 40k will go out and buy and live like a 45k person. but later realizing that he has to back down to 40k.Oh no 25 million. Won't somebody please think of the children.
A 2.5 million dollar home, 1 hour of paid coitus a day, 1 stupidly expensive car vs 2, 1 full time general servant, 150 bucks a day for restaurant food. Noooo! I think I could deal.
As for the single comment.
1: If I were involved I wouldn't have to pay for the coitus, or at least I could cut back that expense a LOT, 200K extra a year would easily pay for a wife and kids, considering home and transport is covered.
2: You can't, nor should you buy friends.
3: Those numbers are ones I tossed out for general consideration, to demonstrate just how hard one would have to work to blow 50 million bucks, or even 25. To show that your reaction was just plain wrong. They are not my personal numbers.
3a::I'd rent a 2 bedroom in the downtown TO, 1 2 hour coitus session a day, a Lexus or more likely something like an Accent or a Yaris + renting something nice for road trips. Toss in a cleaning lady every day, a daily RMT massage and misc other expenses [not a fan of travel or fancy restaurants], and even a 1/3 of 50 million would do me nice.
If I had to split it 4 days, I would cut the budget, Divide my winnings by 50 and adjust as I get older. Either way I'd be living large as the kids these days would say.
4: I am repulsive to chicks now, I don't think that would change later. As such I'd prefer the more honest route of prostitution over some skank who is obviously faking an interest in me. Advantage me, I am resistant to the scams that people can play.
when a person who wins a lottery jackpot, they start to live like the hollywood stars. not realizing that they have no source of income other than the interest earned from the jackpot. later that interest earned is not so big, because there is something called capital gains tax and also because the lottery winner purchases big ticket items, the interest earned is not so big. of course this is after they quit their job and told their boss to f-off.
Some people yes. Others give it all away to charity as in one case in NS. Others plan.when a person who wins a lottery jackpot, they start to live like the hollywood stars. not realizing that they have no source of income other than the interest earned from the jackpot. later that interest earned is not so big, because there is something called capital gains tax and also because the lottery winner purchases big ticket items, the interest earned is not so big. of course this is after they quit their job and told their boss to f-off.
With exception of course, it seems that the lotto doesn't change people it just makes them a bigger whatever they were before.
A douche becomes a bigger douche and ends up spending it or giving it all away in an attempt to buy friends [knew someone who lived that way without a lotto win, spent his pension buying friends, sad story]
A charitable person will often become a giving machine.
I would say that if you look at the whole of the lotto winner groupings, sane and reasonable people will generally not have problems.
Whenever you hear of someone who shits away a lotto win, it is rare that they were winning in life beforehand. Again as always, exceptions.
I simply took issue with your contention that we are all on crack. Much of the spending ideas presented are not excessive on a massive lotto win.
That being said, I think those lotto that give out X dollars for 25 years or so are an astoundingly dangerous thing.
Get X bucks up front and you can plan accordingly. Give someone 100K a year for 25 year and there is a subsection of those who would plan with a big price but in this situation would live at the 100K level, slowly get in trouble as inflation eats away their spending power ending up 25 years later broke and with no employment history. What percent, I don't know.

Also, although this does not address the original topic of the realism of above spending plans, there are some people who just are not driven to spend like mad.
If I were happily married to someone with my tastes, it would be really hard to churn through a big win.
I prefer a small abode. Small bedroom, a second one for some gym stuff, kitchen, shitter, Living room with a modest TV. I live in a 1000 sq foot home now [2000 with basement] with one person and it is insanely too much space.
Not a fan of restraunts, my home eating habits are easy to make or unprepared. Food bill would go to maybe 200 a month for me adding red peppers, daily blueberries.
Not a fan of travel. A monthly road trip would be fine.
If I lived in downtown Toronto a small car easy to park car would be my preference renting for road trips, if I lived in a place with space, Lexus LS 460 is more than enough.
A cleaning lady a few times a week is in excess of my needs. If I had cats, someone to come in twice a day to clean the shit [WTF did we lose a war]
My interests revolve around reading and I prefer to use the library for that.
None of this except for the cleaning lady is beyond the realm of luxury living and would leave as the biggest problem what to do with the excess and there would be a lot.
However if I am paying for Coitus, well that expands the needs a bit, but as some say, after a while you get sick of anything if you have too much of it. Who knows. Would I like Sarah Silverman says about weed "Keep it a treat" or try to spend my last 20 dollar bill as I keel over from a heart attack during a lap dace at the nudie bar on principle probably via use of an annuity. For 50 million, I don't think I could actually consume that much vagina. 2 hours a day for 50 years at 10 mill... I do have other interests.
My paternal units are/were the same way. I can't see them spending to the hilt.
I don't think I'd want to have sex for 2-3 hours everyday with different women, it's what every guy dreams about, but when you actually experience it, it gets repetitive and boring, and you can only cum so many times in a day. I've done it a few times for a week straight and then I just wouldn't want to have sex for a week, the key is to make it a treat, I think having sex 2-3 times a week is perfect, and with 50 million it's impossible to spend it all on sex.
Thank you for your input. I asked this a long time ago and the thread went to shit as they often do.I don't think I'd want to have sex for 2-3 hours everyday with different women, it's what every guy dreams about, but when you actually experience it, it gets repetitive and boring, and you can only cum so many times in a day.

I would like to hear from any others on this topic.
I think it comes down to wanting to have something you don't have, it's human nature. Every guy wants to have sex with the hottest girls as many times a day as they can, all the time. The fact is, once you actually get to experience it, it's great and amazing, obviously, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly and it just becomes boring and repetitive, so much so that after doing it for a week, I just wasn't interested in having sex for a week.Thank you for your input.

It's just like food, you can have the best food in the world but eventually you become full, and the thought of putting one more bite in your mouth becomes nauseating, it's your brain telling you that you need to stop eating and do something else. The same thing happens with sex. If our brain didn't send us that signal we'd just be eating and fucking all day, because that's what's most pleasurable to humans, and we have other important things to do, whether it be running away from the sabretooth tiger in the past, or going to work everyday in present times. Too much of a good thing is not bad, but it just becomes boring after a while. Moderation is the key to good food, good sex and everything else in life.
I do find the same thing with food. Some stuff I have very often and really, it is meh. Still crave it but it doesn't do much for me. However good Pizza which I only have maybe 4 times a year gets me sex crazed and retard strong. Oddly enough, same thing with fucking Mr Hand. Sometimes I am in a position to go at it 3 or 4 times a day, but after a few days, it just seems like too much effort.I think it comes down to wanting to have something you don't have, it's human nature.

Just that you hear of these rockers who bang groupies like they were salvation army drums and the ancients with huge stocks of women. So I ask.
Not just full, but bored.It's just like food, you can have the best food in the world but eventually you become full
According to Prince Phillip
I never see any home cooking – all I get is fancy stuff. Remark in 1962 taken as a slight against Buckingham Palace chefs, and later had to be qualified.
Humans get bored easily, everyone wants to be super rich, but look at what so many celebrities do when they have millions of dollars, they get bored, so they just end up doing coke and heroin since it adds excitement to their lives. The same thing applies to hot women and good food. If every woman on this planet was young and hot, banging a hottie is not a big deal and it will become boring.
