If I were Filthy Rich
By StrongAsMeat+42 Do you think your mental health would change if you won? (In a bad way)
I think about winning literally every day, and more and more I fear I would become paranoid. I would be (even) more reclusive, overly cautious, untrusting…
On the other hand I would be more generous, active, and I know I wouldn’t be one of those winners who goes bankrupt by buying stupid shit and blowing it in Vegas or on drugs or cars.

+49 @Magiamarado I work in high finance in NYC. Pretty much everyone at work is a millionaire on paper and the CEO is on the Forbes ranking. Everyone is living normal lives for the most part. Yeah some of my peers have 6-7 houses, a driver and sometimes travel private, but the difference between their life and mine is not that substantial. The CEO is in the office every week, he takes the subway sometimes, eats lunch at the same spots I do, has no security, dresses with On shoes and regular slacks and a button down shirt. Winning the lottery won’t suddenly give you fame, power and recognition, you’re just a dude that’s loaded. The key is to know how money works. If you have that you know how to produce and keep it. Learn how to create barriers with people and push boundaries. Also, have a purpose in life. You need to have a reason to work.
+18 @passion4film Realistically I think the lack of money stress and increase in freedoms would do nothing but good.
