If you won the lottery for a substantial amount of money, would you keep your job? Discuss....

I would because I enjoy what I do and I wouldn't care if I got fired.

I would work less, or go into bussiness for myself. If I had a lot of money and free time, I would get into trouble.

well, i would open a Tobacco lounge.
with a store, bar, herf parlor, hot tub and sauna.
the bar would feature fine dancing girls.
the massage portion would offer multiple happy endings.

Gonz has got the right idea! :D I would probably do the same, I like my job but I wiuld probably find something that I truly and thoroughly enjoy and open up my own business. What better business than a cigar shop and lounge. Of course mine would probably have a secret door that would open only for special members leading to the room of forbidden fruit. I'd have a huge dude maybe named Angelo or Guido you'd have get by in order to enter, just for a little added security! :wink:

Hey I am in the process of retiring anyway (just over 1 year left) so I would be gone soooooo fast. I would open a cigar lounge.

I'd open up a smoke shop, or buy into one that is already established and customize it :twisted: And right next door I would open up my gunshop..

I like what I do, just not too crazy about the new management I do it for, so I probably wouldn't even pause to clean out my desk.
I'd probably put my toolbelt back on, hire a couple of carpenters and fix up old houses. No deadlines, no budgets. Maybe do some Habitat for Humanity or something. I couldn't just sit around.

I would not continue working with what I am doing now.. I would find something to do that gives me more satisfaction and stimulation.. I don't think I could face having a constant holidy year after year.. what would you then do for a holiday??

I would love being able to run a cigar business that didn't have to rely on earning heaps of money to sustain me.. like a cigar lounge ... were you didn't have to look at the financial liability of the business.. who cares if you make a profit or just broke even if you have more money than you need anyway?

I think when someone wins a huge lottery amount and they get in front of the camera and say," well I dont think I will quit my job"
They should have the money taken away from them and passed on to whomever came in second place.

Unless they are a highly skilled doctor or does charity work. But if you work a regular job like most of us......take the money and run.

I can imagine me winning 100 million dollars and going to work the next day. No I cant that ,would be absurd. " you want to buy a truck?
No..ok then get the hell out of here! That would be my sales pitch.

I think I'd still work, but I'm not sure I'd continue with my current job - too many hours/stress.

I would start to work in another field. A business of my own of sorts...maybe a cigar lounge with microbrews.
