I don't know but I was googling horse breeds to come up with a witty response and found the humble Heck horse and I couldn't not bring that to the thread's attention.

I believe there is a universal Truth to the process of doing things right (Not that I have any idea what that actually means).
Bought a breadmaker for my partner for 8 bucks from a Habitat for Humanity restore.

He had two weeks of vacation. If I didn't get him a temporary hobby, I was going to go nuts with him lying around the house.

Been used maybe...twice...in the 5 years since his vacation. Still a great purchase.

If they really felt bad about the wealth they'd give it away. Instead they just feel bad about being judged for not sharing, which I guess is resolved by hiding how much you're not sharing

Mini-BWM: I accidentally left my extra bread in the pantry instead of putting it in the freezer, and I had to throw it out because of mold :(

Meh, I don't know about that. I mean most goons would rather nobody know if they suddenly fell into $50 million in wealth. If you were that rich would you want everybody to know about it?

A Lyft driver told me last week that he knows a Jordanian guy who's an heir to a ton of money. His dad used to be the top ranking security guy in the king's administration. When he came to the US he got turned around and sent back to Jordan because he had a briefcase with $1M USD in it.

Guy lives in the US now, has never held a job, and the driver says he spends all day smoking, pulling lotto pull tabs, and watching TV. What an uninteresting way to squander a fortune

I know literally dozens of people who would break down crying at a windfall of (just?) a few thousand dollars. I would make everyone I even tangentially know so happy. Everyone on my twitter feed, every struggling artist or designer in however many threads i could find on this dead gay forum, everyone gets some money. Every youtube channel and twitch stream I have ever watched. Every author of every book I've read. All THAT wouldn't add up to more than a few million. Then more for people i personally know. The bulk into a foundation and trust.

I'm sure that there are entire companies dedicated to hunting and hounding lottery winners and others who get a windfall and of course I'd do my best to avoid it but word would eventually get around. Unless I wanted to sit on the money like some greedy rear end in a top hat dragon there's nothing to be done about that. I would help who I feel like, causes and people i care about, and anyone who comes repeatedly knocking can piss off.

This is really easy to say and there have been several powerball winners that have said the same thing, but the reality is that it gets out of hand fast. Everybody you help is going to have a neighbor, a relative, a friend who is just as needy and it will get out of hand quickly. Jack Whittaker bought a waitress he knew a house and it ended up being a total nightmare for her.

The only correct choice if you win the lottery is to keep $1500 for yourself and give the rest back to the state so they can use it responsibly toward the budget.

The trick is to give it to a trust controlled by a third party and hide any connections to you, and have them do applications/distribution/etc. Unless the point is to be seen doing good, which is certainly fine, but wouldn't work that way.

But that was my original point- even well-meaning people would probably want to be discreet about how wealthy they really are, almost like an extension of avoiding leaving valuables in pain sight in your parked car.

Don't you still have to claim it in person so the Lotto can run your face everywhere? You're still gonna get hounded even if you do create a trust with 100% of the funds.

Depends on where you live, and it depends whether your lottery is Powerball or IPO options.

North Dakota allows claiming via a trust, but the flip side to public claiming is that the gambling commission would otherwise be able to rig it towards favored parties if it wasn't public, so I feel like lottery winners should be public.

Assuming I don't get the loaves like right away, I would run a kickstarter like that potato salad guy to get ingredients for a bunch of sandwiches and then I would hold a big picnic in one of Chicago's major parks with free sandwiches.

I know the other stuff is more bad with money but hot drat this one is mean. It's supposed to be the other way around. Give your kids the better one and eat the cheap stuff yourself.

To play devil's advocate, sometimes your kids actively demand the garbage and get upset if you try to give them something good (or just don't eat more than two bites before being "done").

However, hiding the good stuff from them unless it's a kind of food you don't want them to have at all (soda, etc) is horribly indicative...

The rule with kids is that if you don't get anything for them because they say they aren't hungry, they'll eat all of your meal.
And also if you order them their own meal at a restaurant they'll only want to eat 3 bites of it.
