If You Won The Lottery, Would You Keep Working?

Hello all,
This is how he gets when I forget to throw him another peanut every hour.
While I have my own interest is personal wishes, I pledged long ago that if I ever won an obscene amount like $100 million that 80 to 90% goes to endowments for the education and care of children. I cannot understand how anyone needs so much except greed and ego, unless they are building something that has benefits for as many people in real need as possible. If it was $10 million I'd still set up the bulk in some kind of trust fund and make a public challenge for others to do the same. What does one person really need to enjoy life? Isn't doing something for others more satisfying than having yachts and jets, etc. If you can't live well on a few million it's sad.
Other than that I'd leave work, travel and get "work" by being involved in causes that matter to me and others.
Cheers,
Merlot

If I had that sort of money I'd never run a business. Just too much hassle with employees and "The Man"
Also usually the sorts of businesses people want to run for fun have too many other people thinking the same thing. Every party guy wants a bar. Every martial artist wants his Dojo. Every nerd wants his gaming/book store. Every chef wants his restraunt.
I'd probably move to either Montreal or TO or both and be knee deep in paid coitus. Toronto is good as I don't speak the french. Also much easier to meet people there. In my little berg it is a bit of a social desert.

I think Panthere would put Hazel on scholarship at the university of her choice and he would tutor her on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.
Why change ,if you like your life and your job ,it will be a bad idea to change.The money will only give you the liberty to purchase what you want.Look at Bill Gates is still working and alive, i will do the same.

Not a moments hesitation, I would quit (assuming it was the big prize) and I would have a different escort every day for the rest of my life. Also they would all be named Tiffany !!!!
