Question

What wood you do if you won the powerball?

Answer 1

Well what ever the prize money was originally, you'd lose about 30% of that to taxes.

I would take the remainder (ideally it was a big powerball) and put half in the bank.  Take the remaining half and pay off and debts and bills that I owe.  I would spend a small portion of it to buy somethings I've really wanted/ needed.  Then the remainder I would invest.

The bottom line is that I would save it because then I am free to pursue the career of my dreams (which I am doing any ways) but would not have to worry about financial security.  The trick is to save the money.

A million dollars in savings accounts earns you $200 dollars per hour.  So that's like saying you would get paid 200 dollars for every hour of every day that you simply 'did not spend your money'.  

Winning the Powerball and investing it wisely could truly eliminate most if not all of your financial problems in life.
