most americans have no clue as to handle money.

we criticize them (especially our brothers and sisters) when the real problem is that there is no formal training widely available on the subject.

taking the lump sum is ALWAYS wrong UNLESS you are experienced with handling large sums of money.

ask the average person what kind of bank account they need for over 200k and they wont know where to start.

How do you store a million dollars?
 
He had a financial planner, he just didn't listen to them.



Now I'm not sure if this person is a CFP or a CFA, but he didn't follow their advice so it's a moot point either way.


:lol:
Damn I just peeped that.Dude is a fucking idiot.
He bought the most solid investment that is easily sold in the world besides pussy...drugs. If he bought $100,000 of really good meth, he could get his own Heisenberg scenario going.
Number four: know you heard this before
Never get high, on your own supply
 
see u cant just give a muhfucka who never had or earned that ammount of money that much money off the bat. they dont understand the value of it, they didnt earn it so its nothing to them. they see 27 million and think its gonna last forever. i always said if i wont the lotto i would look out for my brothers and sisters. but i wouldnt just give them no millions off the bat. they would get a monthly allowance. cuz if i gave them a lump sum all at once i would tell them once u blow through it that its your fucked and on your own. everyone isnt cut out to handle that amount of money. shit give me half a million and i guarantee u i would never see broke for the rest of my life. i would flip it one way or another.

85k a month for the rest of his life. dumb fuck. i dont feel an ounce of sorrow for him
 
He lived better than 99% of the people in this world,I can't and won't knock him for any of his actions.

You only live once:dance:
 
The media.

I say oh well to this man's journey. A million crackhead is still a crackhead. Some people aren't supposed to have a lot of money, me being one of them. I'd hire two financial advisors that keep me in check and keep tabs on each other...because with 27 million, the first thing I'm buying is a baby penguin.

:lol::lol::lol:

I'm gettin a penguin, A Lamborghini Reventon, and a Koala Bear!!:lol::lol:
 
Niggas can say what they want but that type of shit could never happen to me winning that amount of money. I'm stingy as fuck as it is.

But tha lack of having a financial planner is why he didn't have a trust.
And we have to take into account that he had less then 27mill after federal and state taxes came into play.After spending that 12 mill he had less then 5 mill left.Property taxes and drug habit ate into tha rest of that shit.

Naw, his total payout after taxes was $27million. Before taxes, it was $41 million.

Dude should've got some help to turn his life around with all that money.
 
When I win I'm taking the annuity. That way if I fuck up I can try all over again the next year.

If not set up trust where you can't touch it for 10 year intervals.

But the advisors that were getting him 85K a month sounds like a helluva deal.

im takin it all up front. i aint risking the government flaking on me or going bankrupt or some shit like that
 
He was a white trash drug addicted ex-convict.He spent 12 mill in one year he obviously disregarded tha services of a financial advisor.He bought a fucking jet nothing else to say.[\b]


Spent half of his fortune in a year, but was still sitting on 12+ mill left. If he woulda chilled out there he woulda been good. Buying a jet tho? A fucking Jet?

If he was black we'd be calling this ****** shit, and blah, blah, blah. But like most of these things, it's about class. He was poor, uneducated, ex-con, drug addict. When u remove race out of the picture, it becomes so clear most of the shit we complain about with black people, is a result of being poor and uneducated and saddled with what the means.

everyone is not an idiot and all arent greedy..................... yeah I know still that volume of money dosent send everyone into a tail spin.
As I have kids and that cannot be left to your next, lump sum all day every day.

no one can handle that type of money thats why you are advised to get a financial planner.

:smh: some of you either never faced anything or just know your own limitations , no one?
really...............

:confused:

Actually taking the lump sum is ALWAYS the right move (regardless of experience with money). You should do some research on a concept called time value of money and learn about interest and return rates.

No need to ask the average person because the average person is broke.

your lottery annuities do not cease at your death and can be willed to anyone you want them to go to.

and i didnt say anything was WRONG with getting a lump sum. i said most folks SHOULDNT.

you have YEARS to figure out how to handle your money right and MANY chances to get it right if youre getting it in smaller chunks.

you only have ONE chance either way if you get a lump sum.

those who can do it right should, those who cant? SHOULD NOT.

you should do some research in reading comprehension. :smh:
