[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 111063, member: 1545"] My husband and I have this conversation about once a year. You know the one. "What would I do if I won the lottery". We have come to the conclusion - after discussing it for many years - that we would not want to win the lotto. If you read studies about people who win it big - for most of them - the money does not enhance their lives. It complicates things. Divorce rates soar. Depression. Suicide. We personally knew a man who won close to 6 million dollars. Lived just a block from us. Over the course of about 5 years, it slowly destroyed him. In the end, he died an obese recluse in his home. It was a couple of weeks before anyone discovered the body. It was a very sad commentary on something most people dream about. There is something to be said about get working for all that we have. Nope - I don't ever want to win the lottery. (end of soapbox [img]:soapbox:[/img]) [/QUOTE]
