i'd probably work another couple years let the interest build since you lose 30% off the top anyways. obviously i would instantly build the GTR but i'd try and hold off buying other stuff just for a little.


30% my ***. You’d be lucky to get 55% of the total. There’s no reason to not spend some of it. Say you take home $100MM. I’d be done with my impulse spending before I ever hit $10MM. Therefore; you still have $90MM to sit and live off the interest. At a reasonable interest rate, say 3%, and taxes you’d have probably $2MM a year to live off of and never touch the rest of the money.

Yeah, after taking the lump sum and taxes, you end up with less than 50%. Financial planners say to splurge like 5% of your winnings to get that impluse spending out of your system.

With a 100 mill id buy my own nice house, 3 or 4 nice cars (1 for every kind of use)... Then probably splurge on the interior and my wardrobe and **** lol.

Put the majority of it in stocks and buy housing then rent them all out.

Damn millennials. :rofl2:

To be fair I’m almost 20 yrs into a Engineering/Project Manager career with no kids until last year. That’s a lot of years with a high salary and nothing to spend it on. At this point I’ve had my fill of random ‘wants’. Now I just want a few houses around the country so I can escape crap weather in different parts of the year and a nice garage/workshop with tools and cars. I could do all that in under $10MM. All the world travel and **** could be done off the interest payments.

I know how to push your buttons.

I laugh every time I read millennials say their generation is the one that will change the world. Yeah, for the worse. Not to mention that every generation changes the world. It’s called evolving. Jackassess.

:face palm: i do the same thing when i read that nonsense :bowrofl:

just a bunch of whiny cunts. the generations that truly changed the US were some stone cold badasses. not these little bitches today that need a safe space if you dont know what combination of gender/sexuality they are. like go kill yourself. do the world a favor.


EDIT: i do wish previous generations would have been slightly smarter and dropped the religion nonsense but thats just my personal opinion lol

The Greatest Generation. They went through a depression, fought a world war, put a man on the moon, the biggest tech explosion, and gave birth to me. :tup:

The world is a dangerous place. You go to a place that you are different. They will put your head on a platter.

There are no great or the greatest generation. Just people, some that try to do good, most just want to safe, fed and some prosperity and the rest are greedy and evil.

The greatest generation drop the bomb on Japan, lock them up and others in prison camps. I you were of color you could find your head on a platter for walking into the wrong bathroom or being on the wrong side of the tracks. No great generations, just some great people that move us forward!

Nostalgia, has a way of making us only remember the good. I think some of the biggest crimes of recent time and do think it is a crime is the removal of civil war statutes and such. The are great reminders of where we have come from and there is nothing wrong with that.

I just called Firestone to ask for an alignment. He said he might not be able to put my car on a lift because its lowered. How the heck can you be a National Tire chain and NOT be able to lift any car out there?????

I completely agree. If you remove anything from history, good or bad, would that saying apply...Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it?
And while Im quoting... the following seems to be very true in this day and age:

Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
Weak men create hard times.

No doubt that there was a lot a of bad things that happen during that time. But look at what they also accomplished too. That is what I was getting at.

I don't disagree with you at all on that point. They were at a place in time that launched us full bore into the industrial era. We were a poor nation and as the saying goes, necessity is the mother of all invention. We also gained much knowledge from all the German and Jewish immigrants and defectors. There was a lot of good and bad for sure. The two constant that push and pull us..good vs. evil and it is why we struggle and why I appreciate those on is this thread that are willing to discuss such topics with an eye towards understanding. This is something mature/great generation did do better than we are right now!

I think its human nature to focus on the good. When we think about our own personal past, we tend to focus only on the good. For the bad stuff thats happened to us, we really have to think about it. I think thats the reason for your previous post. Human nature. But yes, for our national history (and world history in general) both the good and the bad need to be remembered and studied.
