I pity the person who gets a million dollars and isn't a millionaire.

Any friend can tell you what you want to hear..but I care enough to tell you how it is..
You can't give just any person a million dollars..
You just can't; it will not solve anyones problems. People are broke for a reason; Their habits got them to become broke. If you give someone a million dollars, they will just continue with their habits and possibly become even more broke.
It's equivalent to giving cats milk! You just don't do it. Even though cats REALLY like it, you can't give it to them because they will just cough up hair balls!
Understand that if you truly want a million dollars, you need to grow as a person because who you are has gotten you to your present status..When you change and move in the right direction, the money will come.

William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but now lives on his Social Security ($450 a month) and food stamps.
"I wish it never happened. It was totally a nightmare."
Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in the Virginia lottery in 1993. Now she's deeply in debt to a company that lent her money using the winnings as collateral.
"My understanding is she has no assets," says lawyer who sued her.
Willie Hurt of Lansing, Mich., won $3.1 million in 1989. Two years later he was broke and charged with murder. His lawyer says Hurt spent his fortune on a divorce and crack cocaine.
One Southeastern family won $4.2 million in the early '90s. They bought a huge house and succumbed to repeated family requests for help in paying off debts.
The house, cars and relatives ate the whole pot. Eleven years later, the couple is divorcing, the house is sold, and they have to split what is left of the lottery proceeds.
"It was not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," says their financial advisor.

There's a presumption in many that anyone who didn't win their millions fucked everyone over for all the money they have.
Sure, some have. Some haven't.
The idea that a healthy bank account requires a healthy mind makes perfect sense to me, though.
You can't hope to survive if you blow your money on... well, blow and other worthless shit.
Reminds me of the dude in the UK who won the lottery and blew all the money on drugs, hookers and that retarded race track in his back yard. What a faggot.
Computer 10,000
Small concrete bunker type house with gym in basement 300,000
Personal trainer for Hollywood actors 50,000 for one year
Cellphones, televisions, electronics 20,000
Food, liqour, cigarettes, cable and internet with top plans, and other bills 70,000
Online college accelerated program 30,000
That's one year of my life set away where all i do is workout, learn, eat, sleep, and enjoy technology. Then I have half a million to start a gourmet popcorn shop or open a bar.
Yeah I agree with that one. I always thought that if I won the lottery my first priority would be living costs from the interest. Then I would just spend all the money that is left over (which would be a hell of a kit). I know that because my dad has alot of savings, and he and my mum just live of the interest just like my grandfather did. I hope one day to do the same
Buy some property, build concrete bunker (Powered by solar or hydroelectric if possible), get computers in that shit. Put the rest in the bank and get interest.
Spend interest on forming a company that advances upon 3d-printer technology/sells 3d printer kits (Such as the RepRap).
Although, that is of course ignoring taxes and the like...still. Use that million to form a successful company. It isn't that hard; people are stupid. Make whatever product you have shiny and sell for 300 payments of $19.95 on television infomercials and you're a winrar.
Thats a fact. People who accumulate profit understand that each purchase eats into your ability to generate income. In business, this aquasition may pay its self back and more, and sometimes give profit. If you are gifted a large sum of money in some way, such as a large lottery win - if you were a fuckwit before you had the money you will still be a fuckwit with money. It is drain away faster than water.
If you keep the money in a bank account so it feels safe, you will be losing money. Money in banks at moment gains lower interest than the interest rate in the general economy, or there or there abouts. This is why people who are millionairres in property, land or business assets hold onto them rather than cashing in, putting all of the money in the bank and living it up.
