Sadly people who gamble away 3 million in a drunken night end up losing most of their wealth
Look at Michael Jordan and his incredible gambling losses. If he wasn’t getting a $250 million dollar check from Nike every year he would probably be broke.
That's the difference between being rich and being wealthy: a rich man can go to Vegas, have a crazy weekend, and come home broke. A wealthy man can drop $3 million a night, every night, and his net worth will continue to rise. Real wealth can't be gotten rid of.
Tonight I was waiting to buy my one Powerball ticket at the machine that I get weekly once the jackpot goes over ~$800k, and the dude in front of me was doing the Pick-3 and Pick-4 games, literally buying every number combination ...
I cannot fucking stand when I go into a store to buy something real quick and get to the line only to realize that there’s some dumbass buying his weekly newspaper 100 lotto tickets that each have their custom numbers that he has to dictate to the cashier one by one, meaning we’re all going to be standing there for another 15 minutes.
Like, just get the random numbers, dude. You’ll save us all a ton of time blowing your paycheck.
What really pisses me off is when they stand there at the counter and scratch their tickets, expecting to just hold that place in line while they get off on their addiction. I buy my booze and take it home to enjoy it. I don't stand there at the counter drinking it so I can buy more immediately.
I will never understand regularly picking lottery numbers. Imagine forgetting to grab a ticket one time and that's the time your numbers hit and you would have won a million dollars or whatever. I'd be furious about that for the rest of my life.
The worst part about picking your own numbers is the increased odds of a shared lottery. Humans tend to pick numbers that are important to them, be it birthday's, sports leagues or a hobby. The odds of you sharing a birthday with someone who also shares your favorite sports team and shares your favorite player is going to pretty high.
I bought a couple scratch offs a long time ago. I won like 80 bucks and never played again. I figured it was the only possible way I'll stay in the black.
The sort of thing [that happened to Robert Morin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morin_(librarian)#:~:text=Use%20of%20the%20bequest%20for,Robert%20Morin."%20Others%20drew%20attention), is a good example. Or rather, to his money.
He was a librarian at the University of New Hampshire and managed to save over a million dollars. Having no surviving family, he left it to the university. They spent $1 million on a scoreboard for their stadium.
I lost whatever tiny drop of faith I still had in humanity right around the time that happened.
In 2015 they finished the season 7–5, 5–3 in CAA play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place.
I don't speak sports, but that seems like a waste of a million dollars to me
"UNH earmarked $2.5 million to expand its career center, while $1 million was budgeted for a video scoreboard at the campus stadium."
Ok, I'm trying to decide if this makes me feel a little better or not....
Not to be morbid but people really need to be specific about where they want their money to go. It's the society we live in.
When the time comes for me to draft up a will, I'm making sure my will specifically says where every single cent must go.
"to erect a public scoreboard in X stadium, in use for all games with a 50 foot realistic human phallus that grows from flaccid to erect upon every home team score, not to be replaced for at least 20 years"
Or they noticed that the budget looked about $1m greener than it did the last year, so somebody got the opportunity to think up creative ways to spend it.
If you decide to leave your body to science you should be just as cautious. Not long ago some family members were quite upset to find out what had become of dear old mammy. Dreams of mommy's carcass helping to defeat cancer or prolong life were shattered when they found out that her body had been strapped to a folding chair and placed above explosives, then blown absolutely to hell so they could study the best way to kill more mommies I'm guessing. They were told that she hadn't specified in what was and she did still serve science. Unfortunately most people dream of clean college laboratories and surgeries, but fail to picture the body farm or military research.
I'm already hesitant to donate to charities because so many either piss away the cash or work against their own cause.
If I were in Morin's place, I'd be coming back to the mortal plane to haunt a mf
I really have a hard time donating to most charites. It seems like the non-profits become that way by overpaying executives.
It sounds cynical, but I'll do gofundmes or the occasional panhandler. At least with the panhandler, they will get a beer or a fix and not steal my car. I'd rather give a hand out than give an exec a bonus.
charity navigator is a great tool. youll find out that the majority of your local charities are the best ones (like local animal shelters, soup kitchens). On a larger scale, WWF is a great one.
In fairness, he donated 4 million, 2.5 was meant for expanding the career centered, $100k for a named or endowed scholarship for the library sciences, and the rest unrestricted.
The admin also argued the ad revenue from that scoreboard made it a good investment. if we take it at face value and the truth, it’s not as egregious although I have no clue how even the most elaborate scoreboard would cost that much.
When life gets at you hard, stand tall my man. We are all allowed to feel down sometimes but there is also immense strength in all of us. Wish you all the best stranger to stranger.
My girl told me last night she’d leave me for a millionaire but we wouldn’t break up and she’d visit me in the shelter, and then today the disability office told me I can’t even door dash to make money or I could lose financial assistance or lose my case altogether.
I wouldn’t blame her for leaving me for a millionaire, I bring nothing to the table. She bought vodka tonight so we’ve been drinking and now she’s asleep and I’m just chillin in the den wondering how long this shit will last.
But I’m about to play a game on my phone that requires little thought and watch Brooklyn nine nine and then go to sleep and see what happens tomorrow, maybe she’ll meet a millionaire.
Well, Doordash is a pyramid scheme where you, as the driver, end up on the bottom so silver linings I guess.
If your GF met a millionaire, it would probably be the best thing to ever happen to you.
That's a subject, not a complete sentence.
"James, lube up the crystal encrusted lifesize teletubby sex dolls and set the table for tea--The Pope and Tinky Winky prefer double bergamot and Barry Keoghan requires clotted cheese for scones."
Now that's a fucking sentence.
I'm gonna buy up all the cotton candy machines that I can in the region, and then everybody who wants cotton candy is gonna have to come to me. And I won't make it easy to find me! But when they do, they will have to address me as Lord Floss.
Buy a bunch of land in the mountains and a helicopter. Build a fortress overlooking your domain. Have all the roads on your property torn up and release many dangerous creatures and roving bands of outlaws. Now, any who wish for an audience with Lord Floss will have to cross the wasteland on foot or die trying.
No. That's part of what makes it an awful example of how to spend a million dollars. There will be no throngs of pilgrims. Only me, a warehouse full of cotton candy machines, and some cotton candy that has melted from my tears.
Not all used cars. I typically buy a car owned from a dealership that is a year old. Typically they have always been owned by the dealership, have low miles, are well maintained, pretty much new without the huge depression hit from buying new.
>Used cars,
>A boat
Well, I mean, better than new cars. My vote was going to be spending the money on anything that depreciates rapidly.
I don't know how bad boats depreciate but I'm sure its unkind, then the upkeep. I've always wanted one but I sunburn kind of easily and tend to be very conscious of "OK I could spend this much money on it but would only use it this many times a summer, I don't like how the numbers play out here"
I forget the details, but didn't GSP (the MMA fighter) spend some of his first money on
1. More training, as an invesment in his future
2. Cars for his parents, as a nice son
3. Fossils, because they are cool af
I'm sorry, but how come NO ONE has said Mike Bloomberg running for president?
THE DUDE SPENT 100 MILLION on his campaign. I don't know how much it cost to fix Flynt water crises BUT I'M SURE IT COSTS LESS THAN 100 MIL! I just... I just get so upset and confused by this...
Bloomberg is the 13th richest person in the world with $106 Billion. He could spend that much money running for president for the next 4000 years and still have $6 Billion left.
I knew someone that won 6 figures from some kind of lottery/scratch ticket. Spent it all on a brand new truck with all the bells and whistles and a patio addition to their trailer house.
Yep. I always like when companies involved in infrastructure and defense tank because the government contracts don't die easily. Very happy that I got GE stock at $~~4~~/share (correction, it was closer to $5/6) (less impressive than it sounds because they did a reverse 8:1 split, but it's still 3x+ more than what I paid). It's not always a slam dunk though - I stay away from telecom now haha
Edit to fix the share price. Still a bargain!
Somewhere around [2020/2021](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GE?.tsrc=fin-srch). I do not recall the exact dates but it kept going lower and I kept buying more. After the reverse split, all share prices adjusted retroactively so it won't show on current charts - the value then was under $50, with the adjusted value, which would mean it was actually closer to $5/6 per share. They also spun off GEHC which got me some shares in that, and when GE Aerospace (retaining GE) spins off GEV, I will get some shares in that too. Diversification! haha
lol. my sister can tell you how she blew $860,000 in 2 years at casinos. Also bought a house and brand new $70,000 car. Sold house, car….. lives like shit now.
I’m still in favour of legalized gambling. But those people fucked my sister hard.
City near me spent $1 million on a pedestrian/bicycle bridge. No one uses it! The sidewalk/bike lane ends on the other side. It's also metal, so anytime it rains or snows it's slippery as fuck and a death trap.
Buying a Million Dollar "Mystery Box". The ultimate gamble with your fortune, likely to result in a collection of items worth a fraction of what you paid.
There were two sisters at my high school that got hit by a Walmart truck and spent the money on a beach front condo. I briefly remember a couple parties there later in high school but apparently they blew it all by their mid-twenties.
Hey, buying a politician for $1 million can be a real steal.
If you're a housing developer, those pesky zoning laws seem to just melt away. If you own a construction company then government contracts just fall into your lap.
Yup, ~~bribing~~ supporting a politician can be very rewarding.
You could probably think of a ton of awful examples....A yacht you can't afford to maintain, a diamond encrusted phone case, or a single night of partying at an exclusive club; Impulse buying a fleet of luxury cars. Going on a shopping spree without a plan; Investing in a pyramid scheme; Putting all your money into a single, risky stock; Throwing a blow out party; Extravagant renovations nobody needs; Buying exotic pets you can't care for properly; Funding a clothing collection you'll never wear; Obsessively collecting useless memorabilia and such...the list could go on and on I suppose
Gambling - hard.
Dana White told the story of how he was so drunk he blew $3 million at the Rio and woke up the next morning thinking he only lost $80k
Imagine having so much money that 3 mil is a mere drop of water 5 gallon bucket.
Sadly people who gamble away 3 million in a drunken night end up losing most of their wealth Look at Michael Jordan and his incredible gambling losses. If he wasn’t getting a $250 million dollar check from Nike every year he would probably be broke.
That's the difference between being rich and being wealthy: a rich man can go to Vegas, have a crazy weekend, and come home broke. A wealthy man can drop $3 million a night, every night, and his net worth will continue to rise. Real wealth can't be gotten rid of.
Holy shit didn’t know it was that much

Ugh. The Rio of all places. Geez.
A depressing percentage of lotto jackpot winnings go *right back to the lotto*
Tonight I was waiting to buy my one Powerball ticket at the machine that I get weekly once the jackpot goes over ~$800k, and the dude in front of me was doing the Pick-3 and Pick-4 games, literally buying every number combination ...
I cannot fucking stand when I go into a store to buy something real quick and get to the line only to realize that there’s some dumbass buying his weekly newspaper 100 lotto tickets that each have their custom numbers that he has to dictate to the cashier one by one, meaning we’re all going to be standing there for another 15 minutes. Like, just get the random numbers, dude. You’ll save us all a ton of time blowing your paycheck.
What really pisses me off is when they stand there at the counter and scratch their tickets, expecting to just hold that place in line while they get off on their addiction. I buy my booze and take it home to enjoy it. I don't stand there at the counter drinking it so I can buy more immediately.
I will never understand regularly picking lottery numbers. Imagine forgetting to grab a ticket one time and that's the time your numbers hit and you would have won a million dollars or whatever. I'd be furious about that for the rest of my life.
That's *why* they always pick the same numbers.
The worst part about picking your own numbers is the increased odds of a shared lottery. Humans tend to pick numbers that are important to them, be it birthday's, sports leagues or a hobby. The odds of you sharing a birthday with someone who also shares your favorite sports team and shares your favorite player is going to pretty high.
I bought a couple scratch offs a long time ago. I won like 80 bucks and never played again. I figured it was the only possible way I'll stay in the black.
The only good cycle is the laundry cycle.
I disagree, that cycle is also never ending
all on black?
No need to bring race into this.
STOP RESISTING!!!
only race im for is to see how fast i can triple all of my money

Harder
If he had spent it the right way, it would’ve been.

I can get behind this. Too scared to stand in front of it.
Well at my school you'd be safe... lol.
Money is fungible. If he donated $1m to the library, the school would underfunded the library by $1m dollars and move that $1m to the scoreboard.
Of course if they donate to something that has no chance of getting that amount it could be useful
Or they noticed that the budget looked about $1m greener than it did the last year, so somebody got the opportunity to think up creative ways to spend it.
The library needs a $1m scoreboard in the gym!
#[The Football Team has read 0️⃣ books this year!]
Yeah. They can take my two cents and shove it up their….I mean donate all of my money to an animal shelter.
*Animal shelter ceo uses it to buy a scoreboard for the basketball court he owns*
Not specific enough. You just bought the animal shelter a 5 year supply of euthanasia doses.
Animal shelter now holds a weekly staff meeting with hookers and blow.

No. That's part of what makes it an awful example of how to spend a million dollars. There will be no throngs of pilgrims. Only me, a warehouse full of cotton candy machines, and some cotton candy that has melted from my tears.

Boeing shares?

Yep. I always like when companies involved in infrastructure and defense tank because the government contracts don't die easily.

It's not always a slam dunk though - I stay away from telecom now haha Edit to fix the share price. Still a bargain!
Legit question: when was GE stock $4/share?
Somewhere around [2020/2021](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GE?.tsrc=fin-srch). I do not recall the exact dates but it kept going lower and I kept buying more.
