I don't want to work hard. Im going to win the lottery.

June 28th, 2010 at 09:21 pm

I have heard many people say "If I could just win the lottery everything will be ok" I'm just going to say that your NOT going to win the lottery. The lottery is a tax on people that can't do math. Haven't you ever seen the kind of people playing the lottery? Yeah I have too. You are more likely to be struck by lightning 5 times and live than you are to win the lottery.

Go stand on your roof with a metal rod in lightning storm and see if you can get struck 5 times and live. If by some miracle you live, go buy a ticket and you might win (probably won't though)

Heres a better idea. Save your money and do something useful with it. You will have a much better return on investment if you just save and invest it.

    Its funny. A lot of people assume that their money troubles are over if they get a windfall. It turns out that money (like liquor) is really a concentrator of your personality - if you are bad with money, more money makes you badder with money, instead of better.

    Haha, spot on! I myself have blogged quite a bit on this, coming to the same conclusion.
