If you won the lottery, how would you swoop lizards?

Her: So, like, how did you get so rich?
You: I invested everything in the most valuable resource on Earth.
Her: WOW! What is that?
You: *pause* Me.

Buy a container of Grey Goose and tape an amex black card to my forehead at the rhino.

I'd come back to the US Style and Fitness tuned up. Years from "studying abroad" Rosca done came up.

Watch him put the beats on some chode who was acting reckless. But it's okay, I got 200 mil. Cops ain't touching us.

Make my life as interesting and fun with the money I got. If asked how I got so much money

"Beat Obama in a fist fight."

Funny post.

You might not get this reference, but as I started reading that, it all started to be heard in the voice of J-Roc, when he's finally on top.

You might have an RVF hit on your hands.

I find these kind of threads a bit useless.

- What if I woke up tomorrow with the looks of a Greek adonis?

- What if I stranded on a tropical island with nothing but playmates?

- What if I suddenly got superpowers?

Better work on things you can actually accomplish or at least give it your best.

A dream without a plan is just a dream.

What if I try to look like a hard ass soldier while i'm just a computer dork working a desk job in the army?

Hey the old Neil is back. We missed you!

 

[Aliblahba]

Neil's right guys. Go back to work. Dreams are for chumps. For us non A list folks this is good as it gets. What were we thinking about winning the lottery and planning for the financial burden. :huh:

 

[MikeCF]

What if I went to L.A. but couldn't afford to go out and buy drinks or sleep in a hotel and had to mooch off of other forum members?

 

[Hades]

One of my old friends who has unfortunately dropped off the face of the earth and got into 4chan bullshit posted this a couple of years back. I thought it was pretty funny and applicable.

Yeah, winning the lottery is like soviet russia man, lizards swoop you.

Not really, I can't be bothered with those cunts.

Tie your money up in trusts and hide assets. Let people sue you. Oh well.

Get a vasectomy but freeze sperm in case you want kids.

Go out and blast away without a care in the world.

I found that article I'd quoted back around '07. It was a real eye-opener and I've thought about it since with much fervor. Every time I see a big winner stand there holding that mega check, I wince. "Blood in the water".

You can see right from the title that this thread is going to be about dreams.

I don't see you adding any value to the thread by coming in solely to post that it's useless.

I doubt anyone here believes in shit like "The Secret". I'm sure everyone is aware that goals need actions.

It's a fun concept that everyone does at one point or another with friends. Hell, when I was a kid, my best friend made me promise that if I ever got really rich, I would bankroll an expedition to find a Yeti.

On top of that, there has actually been some legit advice dropped.

You never know, someone on RVF may come into a big inheritance, lottery, or one of the young guys may be just starting out in a high paying career path.


Or maybe they will find a new lottery hack like these people:

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff_lottery/all/

Srivastava had been hooked by a different sort of lure—that spooky voice, whispering to him about a flaw in the game. At first, he tried to brush it aside. “Like everyone else, I assumed that the lottery was unbreakable,” he says. “There’s no way there could be a flaw, and there’s no way I just happened to discover the flaw on my walk home.”

And yet, his inner voice refused to pipe down. “I remember telling myself that the Ontario Lottery is a multibillion-dollar-a- year business,” he says. “They must know what they’re doing, right?”

That night, however, he realized that the voice was right: The tic-tac-toe lottery was seriously flawed. It took a few hours of studying his tickets and some statistical sleuthing, but he discovered a defect in the game: The visible numbers turned out to reveal essential information about the digits hidden under the latex coating. Nothing needed to be scratched off—the ticket could be cracked if you knew the secret code.

"Bishop native wins millions for 4th time."
A sixty three-year-old woman named Joan R. Ginther had won $10 million, the top prize in the Texas Lottery’s Extreme Payout scratch-off game. Ginther’s cumulative winnings now totaled $20.4 million.

Once she discovered a pattern, Ginther would have had to wait until a winning ticket was scheduled to show up in a sparsely populated region —the less competition for that winning ticket, the better.

Oh, for sure.

But there are a lot of rich people who enjoy anonymity.

I saw a guy in Cabo who was getting ignored. Then he had a friend put word out that he was a telecom billionaire. Suddenly the girls started flocking to him.

You'd have never noticed it looking at him and in fact no one outside of his entourage knew or could tell.

You could be out in San Francisco and drinking beers with a Facebook $100 millionaire and not even know it.

Unless someone has your name and Googles you, how are they going to know you're rich?

What has been shown repeatedly is that family relationships with become problematic. Every cousin, uncle, and nephew (three times removed) will have his or her hand out and few will think you've given them their "fair share."

I personally would pay off every family member's mortgage, all their consumer/credit card debt, and then create college trust funds for any kids and set up medical trust funds for my parents so that they would always have platinum level medical care. But that's it. I wouldn't retire anyone. (My dad would laugh if I tried giving him money to retire, so retiring my parents would be a moot point.)

So if you avoid family and people who know you, you can sail off into the sunset with your cash.

Neil can only be bothered with guys he can sell his books to, and guys he can sponge off of in L.A.

If you're just a regular guy who enjoys bullshitting about what it'd be like winning the lottery, he has no use for you.

As far as "swooping lizards" goes...

Maybe I've missed it but it seems like the most obvious way has been left out.

Throw epic house parties.

House parties wouldn't even burn through your money. At 5% returns, you're looking at $10 million a year. (Find a way to shelter that from taxes.)

What's a fat pad going to cost you? $5 or so million. It's real estate, anyway, and buying a super party palace would ultimately be an investment. So it's not like that 5 or 10 million is wiped out.

Staffing the party with liquor and caterers isn't that expensive.

If your crib is the go-to spot in a place like Miami, Hollywood Hills, Cabo...the rest will take care of itself.

Who's coming to the after party?

How about we take a weekend trip to Cabo?

Do you think we can get girls on Spring Break to leave Cabo Wabo for our infinity pool?

 

[el mechanico]

The guys I've seen have the most success and were surrounded by hot girls had two things. A kick ass boat and a waterfront house with a pool. Women (hot) just love this deal. I'm talking real Hugh Heffner kind of stuff here.

I'd have a custom 24k gold shirt made to wear to the clubs. Bitches love gold so their love must transfer to me cause I'm wearing it. Bet no one has thought of that one yet.

Great minds think alike.
