If I were Filthy Rich
By skw4ll+60 French lotto Tonight’s jackpot is only €5M, but honestly? That’s all the F-U Money I’d ever need.
There’s a €5,000,000 (tax-free) jackpot tonight here in France. While everyone is busy dreaming about those colossal EuroMillions, Powerball, or MegaMillions billion-dollar prizes, I’ve realized that 5 million is my sweet spot.
For me, it’s the ultimate F-U Money. Beyond the material goods, it buys the four things that actually matter: freedom, choice, time, and peace of mind.
My philosophy is all about Stealth Wealth. I want the lifestyle of the upper class, but I want to remain completely incognito.
Here is my realistic humble" dream:
The Home: I’d want a beautiful house with a pool and a spa, but definitely not a mansion. I have no interest in soul-crushing maintenance costs or managing a full-time staff
The Travel: My biggest luxury would be flying Business Class 2 or 3 times a year. I want to see the world comfortably and create incredible memories without the stress of budgeting the experience.
The Security: In France, we don't actually see many winners go broke, and I certainly don’t plan on becoming a statistic.
At the end of the day, I play to dream. I don't need to be the richest person in the cemetery; I just want to own my time.
What about you guys? Would you still be happy with a smaller 5M win, or is it 100M+ or bust?

+14 @qrouth I'm happy with that too, honestly I don't need 100s of millions to feel financially secured I'm happy with just a few millions in the bank and placed in a secure way. To at least give me 4-6% return per year
