Subject: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
I would part time like 3 days a week.To me working gives me purpose in life and contribute to society.You gotta have something to do.
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
I am only 21 but I think if I hit the lottery I would still work because you can never have to much money right? Haha. Though I guess it would depend on how much I won. If I only won like 2 million I would definitly keep working but if i won something like 190 Million I would probably only work part time. I would probably work no matter what though because I think I would go crazy out of boredom if I just stayed home all the time.
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
Yes, I'd still work but I would change jobs, then work only Tues, Wed, & Thurs!
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?

I'd drive a zamboni for my local NHL team's home games ;D I need something to do every now and then :)
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
I own a company already. So I think I would just expand, expand, expand! ;D

I'd probably take 6 months off to travel the world, but would have to come back and do some type of work just to keep busy..I already have my own business, but I'd probably start a cool record/CD music shop or open a drive-in or a bar/pub...or maybe a combo of all three!.
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
Heck NO! :D

Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
I wouldn't work where I am now. But I would be interested in starting something of my own so I do still plan on working somehow. But on my own terms. Ah, if only.
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
I've always said if I were to ever win the lottery, I'd work part-time at Wal-Mart being the greeter. I'd be pretty good at saying "Welcome to Wal-Mart."
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
Well, seeing as I don't work now, I'd have to say No. I wouldn't even get a part-time job cuz I'm busy enough with 3 kids and a hubby to take care of. I don't foresee hubby quitting if he or I won the lottery either. He's too much of a workaholic. I could definitely see him switching jobs to work in a golf shop or course. ;D

I wouldn't say that you don't work now. I say, you probably work very hard. Taking care of 3 kids is a very important job.

Yes. I'd be bored to death otherwise.
Subject: Re: If you hit the lottery...would you still work?
Yeah, I would still work, but it would be on my own time doing what I want to do, which is DJ. If I have enough money from the lottery, why not just use it to get myself going as a DJ?

Good point. I actually meant I don't get paid for what I do. So, I guess I would technically still be working. ;D

I wouldn't work, myself, unless it was for fun or charity or something.
If I were to invest a million pounds in the bank at a 4.5% interest rate per annum, I'd make £45000 every year. Every year I'd invest some more, so I'd get even more in interest.
