This Makes Me Angry

All they had to do was chill out & enjoy the bank interest or some stock dividends.

I once saw a stereotypical middle-america guy interviewed after he won a s~~~load of millions. When they asked him what he was going to do with the money, he said with a southern twang: “All I really want is a Ford Bronco”.

I was overcome with a desire to throw something at the television.

I can easily watch crap like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich and not become irritated. But when you have tens of millions and the big dream is to have a Ford Bronco…. well … I don’t even know what to say about that.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

This is why a financial education should be part of any school curriculum.

I was working out of Rhode Island in the early 90s when the sort of guy you want to win the lottery hit Powerball for 20 or 30 million. He was a short haul truckdriver, the kind that make multiple daily deliveries between warehouses and stores. He was a single father with a couple of kids whom the wife had bailed on and he was pretty much treading water. He was doing laundry at a laundromat, found one dollar in a pair jeans, went next to buy some smokes, grabbed a “quick pick”, and won.

Won and came that close to f~~~ing up his life forever.

He got is first check and, as an old friend of mine would say, “blew his b~~~~”. He bought a golf course because he and his friends liked to play golf. He’d never run anything bigger than a Kool Aid stand let alone a golf course. He bought a bar in Pawtucket right after the health inspector shut it down. He’d never run a bar either. Everybody around him got “cash & prizes” too. What really killed him was the fact that the “Indians” in Foxwoods opened their “casino” around the same time.

What saved him was the fact that Powerball back then only paid out as an annuity. You got a 5% of what you won every year for 20 years. After his 2nd check, he was so much in debt that he had to sell several years of future checks for something like 10 or 20 cents on the dollar just the break even. He basically p~~~ed half of what he’d won and would have p~~~ed it all away if he’d got the money all at once.

It was little more than a collection of double-wide trailers at first, but the doors never closed and he was there all the time.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Not only could I take care of my personal desires with a lottery jackpot, I could also bring some goodness to this sad world.

My charitable contributions would be like this:

1. End a famine.

2. Help rehabilitate homeless people and get them back into the workforce.

3. Teach kids with learning disabilities. Get them to read and learn problem-solving techniques so they can make good grades and upgrade their lives.

4. Create non-profit organization that helps people get off welfare. It irritates me to see an able-bodied person getting checks in the mail w/o making a positive contribution to his/her society. I would give a cash bonus to people who successfully completed a job training program, got hired, and got off welfare.

If I was mega-rich, my mission in life would be to get unemployed Americans into the workforce. I would hire teachers to teach reading, writing, and basic mathematics. These students would learn about proper grooming habits, and how to present themselves during a job interview. I fear that the United States will deteriorate without an educated work force. If I ever make some big money during my life, I’m going to make sure I save at least one person from a life of poverty, ignorance, and misery. To me, that’s a legacy worth leaving behind after I die.

I would make “the male pill” my mission in life so men could finally decide to NOT be a father without obligation to tell the female. She would require his permission and willingness for that. It would put lying bitches who trap men into fatherhood out of business forever.

That’s just the first half of it.

And then I would hire the best scientists to develop the artificial womb…. so that men could decide TO be a father if they wanted to. 100% parental rights for men. It would change the planet forever.

You would see a marked turn-around in general social attitudes and behavior – overnight. EVERY child would be a wanted child, and it would mean the end of abortion. A nice bonus.

A guy can dream.

Women have already shown the world what they do with 100% parental rights for women and it’s a goddam nightmare. Give men the same “equal” 100% parental rights, and the “gender war” is now OVER.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Knew a guy when i was in my twenties who was older than me . He pretty much spent his life in and out of jail . Armed robbery and alot of other s~~~ , a real serious bad boy . Kids to all different woman to . He was out of jail i think about a month . Goes to buy his heart medication stops and gets a lotto ticket . Wins jackpot and dies two years to the day of his win owing money . God works in mysterious ways .

THE PLANTATION HAS NOW TURNED INTO THE KILLING FIELDS . WOMAN ARE NOW ROLLING CAMBODIAN STYLE .

Keymaster for the win again. And again. Dude, if there is one person on this planet I want to sit down with for a couple hours it is you. I have to say Bro Tower has me wanting to check out his little piece of American Soil too. I actually miss Mass. But not ever Massholes. I can bring my telescope and pan the skies for my beloved meteor.

I would have been a Father many moons ago had an option not involving females been available. Male contraception would be a society changing event. You can bet we will see no equality there and can you imagine the non-stop slut march to protest it? Or how the courts will certainly be bribed to not allow it? I often think of the immense boost in productivity this whole country would feel if prostitution were legal. Men allowed to get f~~~ed regular like without the live in mate scenario would thrust our economy forward at full tilt. Everything would benefit except miss snowflake. You know that is a big fat f~~~in no-no.

What stood out in the majority of those stories was that a woman was involved (is was mainly a woman who lost it all or a couple)

spend spend spend. that’s what they’re like

I like KM’s idea. I’d hire scientists to develop bodyworn cameras and technology that would prevent false allegations. With KM’s technological breakthroughs we’d see an even bigger surge of false accusaions as women dream up new scams to get money out of men so we’d need it. The rest I’d put in bank and live off the interest

[bstoffParticipant 4863]

While KM’s plan would be a dream come true and start a cultural revolution, there’s an endless supply of money already at work to make sure that the male pill doesn’t happen. Even if it was put on the market, there would be some power at work to make sure no man could take it for his convenience.

If I hit the lottery I’d build an atomic compound with a 100 year supply of non GMO grains and foodstuffs, then I’d have a search done on all the c~~~s that f~~~ed me over and RUB THEIR FACES IN IT!

[Anonymous 1]

I would buy some land far away from people and disappear. Maybe make the mgtow reservation to help men.

Roger that. But it doesn’t matter if it’s actually accomplished or not. THat’s the beauty of it all. It’s enough of a cultural revolution – to just TALK about it.

The truth is revolutionary enough – all by itself.

The artificial womb – for sheep – was announced and broadcast a couple of weeks ago. That’s enough to make any women who think of holding a child hostage start sweating through her blouse.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

None of these moron invested that money. Wow, I guess they have no concept of living beneath your means…

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

Men are their means…Its why we keep working till we drop and they would still keep complaining its never enough while doing nothing…Wished KMs idea of an artificial womb is alrady a reality…Imagine the productivity of our race without the drama and bulls~~~…Kinda reminds me of the Axlotl tanks used by Tleilaxu in Dune…We sure can dream…

If I won the $165M the Powerball game is at now, I’d take the money and leave and find a large house. I’d tell all those employers who made it impossible for me to land a job to take their job positions and GO F~~~ YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!

My real response to winning a large amount of cash would be that very little would change in my life. My very small mortgage would be paid off. My Mom could have whatever she wanted because I know she would want nothing she doesn’t need and she already has three sons who make sure she doesn’t need anything. The rest could sit in metals, property and various carefully picked other investments. I might be a frugal traveler. No one would know because all outward appearances would stay the same. Money is a tool. I guess I am so fed up I would buy some whores time until that was done. But really, f~~~ing girls for money doesn’t much turn me on either. Then I would have to think about who deserves it when I go. Km maybe? For another win. The last thing I would do is replace my car while it is still in tip top running condition. I would however lay all odds on me building a garage and putting as many ’60 cars in it as I freakin like. As an investment yes, but they would all be driven so there couldn’t really be that many. I am thinking an old Skylark and an Olds Cutlass 442. Tomorrow they might be mighty MOPARs but I am sure you all know the feeling of liking them all. And liking my current Saturn that still gets 40 mpg at almost 200,000 miles and smiles. It might need a good cleaning, who cares?

Had some stupid lady around here years back that hit the lottery and had like 7 million after taxes. She bought a horse ranch for like 6 million…not even a set up where people would pay her to stable their horses or ride hers…just her own personal horse ranch because she liked horses. After all the expenses related with that, and the other things she splurged on, it was about 3-4 years later the local news paper ran an article where they interviewed her and she was flat broke, had refinanced the ranch to fund her horses/other splurging, and now was upside down on the property, owed back taxes, and had no cash left.

It was insane had stupid she was…7 million…if she put it all into dividend payers and just collected about 4% a year without selling shares ever she’d be making 300k(this was like 15-20 years ago too so it’d be even more than 300k is worth today and would have grown over that time period as well) a year. She could have easily bought a nice piece of land, a house, and a couple horses and lived out a comfortable life, instead she went massive overkill, got greedy, and ended up with nothing a few years later.

That would probably be mine as well. It would just be my ticket to early retirement. I think it would only take a few million for me to end up with so much money coming in just in dividends I’d never reasonably spend it short of starting an exotic car collection, or doing something really stupid, like getting married.

I’d also want as few people as possible to know that I had come into $$$$ because I wouldn’t want beggars coming at me from every direction.

Yeah, like you stated before: she could’ve kept that 7 million in the bank and bought a small horse ranch with the damn interest! Imagine the property tax for a 6 million dollar property. That’s frightening.

I guess some people can’t be helped for their own good. They have to learn the value of money THE HARD WAY!
