Let's just remember that you're not even going to get close to $100 million after taxes!!!

that's what I was thinking, but didn't want any of my fake money going to the government.

That's OK... Even if the lottery was $100 million, you'd still get around $50 million after taxes if you did the lump sum thing... Only a certified idiot would find a way to blow $50 mil and not have anything left over.

I was just under the impression that I would end up with $100 million after all was said & done, and then I approached it from there

Set my family up to live as comfortable as possible. (This includes myself) Then I would call Lenny Dykstra & get some advice on investing. This guys is simply amazing....

What's funny about someone wanting to go to school?

It must not be manly enough.

I think the thought behind DC's statement was that if you had money like that, you wouldn't necessarily need to go to college... Most of us went to college because we wanted decent jobs upon finishing... If you had a hundred million, you wouldn't necessarily be wanting a "job". At least I wouldn't.

I realize the "thought" behind it, I just don't see what's funny about someone wanting to go to school.

I think the people saying they'd go to law or medical school are funny. The stress of going to those schools and doing those professions just seems pointless since you'd essentially be doing it for fun.

I could understand wanting to do something you really enjoy like majoring in history or mythology or something, but a serious degree or graduate school seems kind of silly and unrealistic.

Wouldn't the stress be much less because you wouldn't be depending on it for your future, and you wouldn't have to worry about paying the loans back? That seems like it'd make it much easier to deal with, because if you flunk out, or decide it's not for you, you still have all that money. If it's a goal you set for yourself, why not try for it when you can?

It'd be less than if you didn't have the $100 million, but it'd still be stressful. And I can't imagine that there's any way that being an intern at a hospital or law firm would be anything but incredibly stressful.

5. Pay for my car to get repainted and add a decent stereo system with aux jack to plug my ipod
6. Pay off ALL my immediate family's debt
7. Wake up from the dream.......

I guess I'm missing why being stressed out on your way to doing something you want to do is such a horrible thing. Yes, I realize it sucks, and yes I realize that those people will be very stressed out, but if it's something you want to do, where's the problem?

I just don't see what's funny about it, that's all. Oh well, back to talking about how people will spend money we'll never see.

Do you understand the amount of effort that goes into being accepted into a medical school (aka keeping GPA above 3.5 throughout all of college and retaining enough information to do well on the MCATs)? Just because I won a large sum of money doesn't mean I would throw away everything I have worked for to this point and become content. Believe it or not, many people become doctors for things other than the money (which can not be all that great depending on the occupation) and prestige. Many genuinely want to save lives and help other individuals first hand.
