if you won the lottery...

[jordo]

say $5 millon dollars...do you think it would change you and your sa? make you more confident? arrogant? talkative? big spender? etc.

i think it would make me more of a recluse. and just live a simple life. i would probably build a small house in the middle of nowhere. and i would be very selective in whom i bring into my life. they would have to be nice and accepting of my shyness. i wouldnt try and conquer my sa :?. i would like to live by a small town of conservative people (christian hopefully). i wouldnt buy lavish things whatsoever...i'm against materialism! i'd probably buy a small electric car to get around in. no tv or internet. have like a small farm with crops and animals. and dogs...lots of dogs lol. and if there was a special someone (with possibly sa) all the better. i'd give most of the money to my family and relatives, maybe some charities. i dont care for money...just enough to live off of for the rest of my live. just dreaming here lol. you all probably think i'm crazy

 

[Angel_Of_Death]

If I win 5 million dollars. I take 1 million and give it away to family and friends.

With 4 millions left, the first thing I do is quit my job and school.
My first 6 months to 1 year I would travel the world.

Not sure what I would plan for the rest of my life, but I would need a soul mate, if I can find one I truly love...I'd build a house somewhere tropical where I don't deal with cold and snow, ideally near an ocean or beach...and try to live a happy, stress less life...

 

[Sad-Kitten]

Nope,not crazy at all. I have thought about what i would do if i had enough money like that a few times.

I would probably give my mom and other relatives a million. Then buy some nice secluded property. Try to see the world, maybe start a charity foundation for SA sufferers, and start a fine gun collection. Then i would probably have a personal pond built (with fish and ducks!) and just relax, and try to figure out how i could change the world for the better.

 

[xSleepy]

if i won the lottery i would like buy things maybe but like im not sure...

 

[marciaX3]

i don't know if having a shitload of money would change my personality and ease my disorders... it would be nice tho, then i could enjoy the things i'd buy more than i would otherwise.

let's see, i would pay off my college loans cuz i hate being in that much debt. i'd pay off my credit card and my bf's credit cards. i would give money to my mom so she and my brothers can move outta their home to a better place so i don't have to worry about them getting shot. (there has already been 4 shootings in front of the building). i would donate some to organizations that have special meaning for me. move into a much better apt/home that i can live in for the rest of my life with my dream kitchen and high ceilings lol. and i'd finally take that longass vacation to orlando FL so i can get to do all the theme parks and everything without feeling rushed! oh, and of course, live out the rest of my life on the remaining money.

 

[Azahara]

I´d like to think that I´ll do good things with such amount of money...for example; create different associations for phobics (in my city, there isn´t anyone), give part of these money to different associations which help poor countries. But I have serious doubts.
But I really think my avoidant personality will become worse and I will be more arrogant, selfish, vain, materialist... I don´t want this money.
I only want to have money to survive. I don´t want became a Bill Gates.
:twisted:

 

[sleepysparrow]

If I won the lottery, I would buy a small efficient eco-home, a windmill, and solar panels, to make my home sufficient for my family, and I wouldn't have any bills to a hydro company or a heating company, eliminating my worry and stress over money. I would buy enough land so I could grow organic vegtables and fruit to feed my family. I would buy an efficient vehicle that doesn't require gas. I would make myself as self-sufficient as possible and my land as abundant as possible, and my decisions will reflect on my children who will do the same. I would start a family business involving my art, and organic gardening so myself or my family would never have to work another shitty job for the rest of our lives. With the rest of the money I would give to legitimate charities, mostly involving children, or family. I don't need anything besides the tools to make our lives simple and efficient and environmentally friendly.

 

[kt2222]

i think that i would use a million to completley make a break from my life.. new home new area new schools for the kids etc. then i would be boring and put the rest in to savings and leave off the interest

with that kind of money you would never have to work again.

 

[lettypagb]

i would spend on drugs ,like heroine,but first i would go to a doctor ,

 

[Moonie]

Nah, I don't think it would have any affect on my personality/SA. I might make more "friends", though

I am not a big spender. I would probably still live a simple life- but just be more secure with living arrangements, bills, etc.

[Dave_McFadden]

I think I'd continue to work. I would me neat to walk around work knowing that I didn't need the job. I think I would work until it started to dawn on my coworkers that I was the one they read about in the paper who won the big lottery. It would probably become obvious in my attitude eventually. Should take about 8 or 9 minutes.

First I'd pay off my mother's mortgage. I could actually do that now, but if I was rich it would be harder for her to refuse. Then I'd pay off a few charities, both national and local. I'd probably donate money to some local church or neighborhood project. Get on the radar of some of the influential people in the area. Not that I want to be famous, but I figure if I win some important people over at least I won't have an angry town mob chasing me with torches and pitchforks when my newly found intention to start dating their daughters becomes clear. I'm not looking to buy their friendship, just non-interference. I'd be less likely to get my ass kicked in the event that someone thinks my date is too hot for me.

After that, I'd buy a house. Not necessarily a big house. I'd decide what I wanted on the inside and build the house around that. I wouldn't use the entire house (thereby saving on heating and a/c). Much of the house would be the "formal" area where I would entertain people I had to impress. I'd also tuck my own private "apartment" inside the house, where I'd actually live. There, I can entertain people I actually like. My fortress within a fortress.

If I won the lottery, I would buy a small efficient eco-home, a windmill, and solar panels, to make my home sufficient for my family, and I wouldn't have any bills to a hydro company or a heating company, eliminating my worry and stress over money. I would buy enough land so I could grow organic vegtables and fruit to feed my family. I would buy an efficient vehicle that doesn't require gas. I would make myself as self-sufficient as possible and my land as abundant as possible, and my decisions will reflect on my children who will do the same. I would start a family business involving my art, and organic gardening so myself or my family would never have to work another shitty job for the rest of our lives. With the rest of the money I would give to legitimate charities, mostly involving children, or family. I don't need anything besides the tools to make our lives simple and efficient and environmentally friendly.

Marry me.

Just kidding. Seriously, I like the whole self-sufficiency idea too. I'd probably grow my own vegetables at least, as a hobby, and if the yield turned out to consistently meet my needs then I wouldn't need to buy them at the store. However, I plan on remaining a carnivore, and I don't plan on having my own game preserve, so I'd still have to shop for meat. But I could afford to eat healthy things like salmon more often as opposed to something cheaper but fattier. I don't think I'd ever stop eating summer baloney though. Yum.

Also, I like the idea of being ecologically independent, but I'm not sure I could maintain any fancy solar or wind-powered energy generation, and I wouldn't like being at the mercy of repairmen who could potentially rip me off. Not that all repairmen are ripoff-artists but I'd rather err on the side of caution. So I'd stick with conventional energy for the house. But I might buy a hybrid. Actually, I used to drive a Chevy Sprint. They're dorky little cars, but get tremendous gas mileage, even if one doesn't maintain it, like a certain irresponsible car owner I know who shall remain nameless. I know a gas station about 30 miles from where I live where a Sprint like the one I used to own has been sitting for about 2 years, maybe I'd look into restoring it. It's hardly a babe magnet, but then again I'd be so rich the ladies would look past it.

Additionally, I think I'd get into some sort of shape, and hire someone to teach me how to play baseball. All the stuff nobody bothered to show me when I needed it growing up. I am never going to play professionally, but at least I can play a sport without looking like a complete idiot. All I would need is to be able to not stand out as a terrible athelete. I wouldn't have to look for a place to hide when some guys decide to remind the area females which guys can play the reindeer games and which ones can't. I won't be the best player, but remember, I'd be rich, so all I'd have to do is hold my own and things would work out in the end.

Yup. Dave's got plans.

 

[jordo]

i find it interesting no one wants to shove it down everyones throats who has put them down or bullied them. i guess sa has humbled us? :?

...

Marry me.

lmao. darn you beat me to it. i think she is already tho.

thats what i was trying to say...living off grid and being self sufficient.

I only want to have money to survive. I don´t want became a Bill Gates.

thats me too. actually earlier i wanted to be like him and rule the world. i made usernames like billgatesjr lol. but like i said...sa and depression humbled me.

 

[nico82]

I'd immediately buy a nice house and car and then start touring the world (probably begin in Europe). Fuck my SA!

 

[LonelyLeaf]

...I would keep perhaps ½ million for myself and give the rest away to different charities (including some SA organization, of course).

I don't think money would change my SA, make me more confident or anything..the only thing that changes SA is understanding and love..

 

[willows]

"I don't think money would change my SA, make me more confident or anything.."

I think so to.

I would spend some of it on a good and reliable touring vehicle and equipment, stick most of the rest in the bank, and just move from one place to the next, living and investing off the interest. This way noone will know me for long enough (hopefully) to realise what a pos I have become.

 

[PhantomPod]

The lottery was up to over $200 million this week. I never play, but someone at work mentioned it the other day, so I stopped and bought a ticket on the way home. I didn't hit a single number though lol.


But yeah, I do not think that winning the lottery would help out my SA. I would just buy myself a nice house. Pay off my debt and my parent's debt. Travel the world. Give to loads of charities. Then I guess just chill out in my house for the rest of my life? lol I don't know. I'm pretty positive I wouldn't continue working though.

 

[weak]

say $5 millon dollars...do you think it would change you and your sa? make you more confident? arrogant? talkative? big spender? etc.

more confident? In reality, no. But money makes it a lot easier to front it. Nice cars, nice clothes. Makes it easy for you play the role.

arrogant? Nah. People who get big headed after they win or inherit $$$ are really really dumb. It's nothing to brag about if you didnt earn it single handedly.

talkative? Well you'll certainly have a lot more to talk about but I would recommend it. No good can come from bragging about your wealth.

 

[Hoth]

i hate money

I can help. Send it to me and I can assure you you'll never have to see it again.

Being rich wouldn't make a huge difference to me, since I have the stuff I really want (despite only 70% of the average person's income). I would, however, welcome the ability to buy a nice house with land and build a moat around it. Supercomputers and giant LCDs in every room, and a fiber optic connection of course. I'd also get a car that can make it up hills, and maybe a plane. If I had the nerve I'd take an around the world trip and buy a tropical winter home, but it's unlikely I'd suddenly get that kind of nerve. All of this would be nice, but it certainly wouldn't change my personality or fundamentally alter my day to day life.

I'd like to say I'd donate it all to charity like the rest of you, but very few people do that, and I doubt I'm that special.

 

[Tonto]

I don't think it would change me too much. Money wont change my personality (unfortunatly). I could give up the job I hate but that would just make me more reclusive.
