Apparently 2 people won the 1.8 billion$ powerball last night. One Texas the other in Missouri.
To put it mildly my life is over. Now i cant buy a million acres of land and create my own compound. How will I pay for my dogs english lessons so that we can finally talk???
Jokes aside i hope whoever won blows it on coke and hookers
That’s a lot of coke…
It is, bit statistically most lottery winners have managed to burn through their winnings after something like 2-3 years. It may take slightly longer if the payout is a half billion or so (because you just can’t possibly list any price or prize in the US after taxes, that would be preposterous for reasons).
Fake: there is no way anon can have a gambling addiction and a girlfriend at the same time.
Money is the cause of most long term relationship struggles in the US. Talk to your fake girlfriend about what you desire to do with your fake money.
That sounds like too much work. Can’t I just fake the conversation, too?
The realness of your conversion should match the realness of your SO.
Only if you’re alright with faking up
If this is legit (lol) then the real answer is split up, and stay single until you find someone who you’d never refer to as ‘bitch’
Yep yep yep.
I would suggest anon takes that 18k, sets aside ~75% of it in some kind of savings or investment scheme, start that nest egg early.
(No, not fucking crypto, probably just find a high yield savings account)
Or, wipe out any existing debts first.
…
Then, take whats left, and consider:
Fix up your car,
Get some good quality clothes and shoes or boots that you will be able repair and maintain, get the tools that enable you do to that,
Get a good and comfortable mattress and quality pillows,
Get some good quality cooking appliances that are relatively portable and will enable you to make decent meals from scratch, or at least closer to scratch,
Unironically, consider getting a bidet… toilet paper is expensive, a reasonably priced bidet addon to a normal toilet can pay for itself in a few months,
Basic repair toolkit for electronics, and also basic repair toolset for around the house/automobile type stuff,
Some basic, not stupid expensive, home work out / strength training equipment.
…
Ya’ll see where I going with this.
Use that other 25% to buy actually useful things that lay a more solid foundation for the rest of your life.
Solid foundation?
You’re much more likely to be able to buy that motorcycle or gaming pc or what not in another year or two, all without having to touch that nest egg for anything other than true emergencies… if you can keep working at whatever you’re working at, from that stable foundation.
mr white this money is mine, YO
Oh wow really?
Spend it on a motorcycle before she notices
I’d get a driver’s license for motorcycles and the motorcycle later. The licenses have become so insanely expensive here.
Why? Shouldn’t cities encourage motorbikes over cars? In SEA its way easier to get a liscense for a bike than a car.
Shouldn’t have told her…
There are countless ways I feel different from the people around me, but spending habits is a big one. I never had the urge to start buying things when I got money. I’ve just always saved it. Even as a kid, I had a chest with a lock on it where I kept all my savings. I was always the one people borrowed money from and paid back with interest.
Now as an adult, I find it even easier not to go on a spending spree when I get a large lump sum of money from somewhere, because getting more money doesn’t really enable me to buy something I couldn’t have bought before. Even when I do treat myself to something, it’s usually BIFL quality, so once I have it, I never need to buy it again.
I guess it’s worth noting that always being alone with no one to spend the money with helps too.
Consumerism has mostly been a way to separate fools and their money throughout the 20th century.
If consumerism wouldn’t exist, the workers would have earned good dollars, but would have kept the wealth to themselves, and so you end up with a powerful working class. If instead, the people spend their money as soon as they have it, the companies and therefore the company owners get a share of the money repeatedly, until all of the wealth is slowly siphoned away by the owning class.
What country that uses the dollar sign uses that formatting? In Canada and us I think it’s $18,000. The way anon writes it is tripping me out.
Based on the English my best guess is the 4chan op is German.
Why the used a dollar sign instead of euro sign idk, probably just 4chan stuff.
Most european countries, I think? At least that’s how I’d write it. And I’d use $ cause it’s just easier for people to understand the value and cause for most keyboards the euro sign is slightly less comfy to use.
Oh yeah, I know the format is Like that in Europe, but the guy won $, right? Seems weird to me that he wrote it like that of they’re from the US or Canada.
Km100? Mb/s100? But $100 is suddenly ok? Americans clearly do it wrong.
I know as a matric enthusiast you HAVE TO get offended the second something imperial is mentioned. Whatever it doesn’t matter if you like it or not, if the story would not be fake and gay, he would have written $Value and not Value $
This seems to be a language thing. In the US, Canada, and the UK, we write £20, $20, and €20 (and 50c, 50¢, 50p if using coinage). In Quebec, the currency symbol goes at the end, because French is the provincial language.
In English, 20$ is wrong. In French, $20 is wrong. Use the right system for your language.
I didn’t say it was ok; just the way we do it in Canada as well as the States. It absolutely makes no sense lol. I’m pretty sure a lot of growing up make the “mistake” of writing 100$.
Donate the girlfriend to charity
Caviar mukbang.
You want to be so full of roe that if an alien sliced you open your stomach would look like a pregnant salmon.
Hopefully they’re confused about a salmon carrying sturgeon eggs.
Buy 18.000$ worth of candles.
$3,600 is more than enough candles for a normal family.
Finally a budget i can agree with
Bali is a great idea
I agree, I’m looking for a ticket right now and you’ll pay right?
