lottery winner fritters away $10 million

damn.

who couldn't see that her new found fortune would not end well. :smh:



Before her win, Tirabassi had been living in an east Hamilton apartment with her three kids at the time, each from a different father.

Her husband, Vinny, 35, has another three kids from a previous relationship.
 
Dude had the right idea...:D

I'm buying the house next door to me and turning into a dolphin habitat and on the other side I'm turning my previous neighbor's home into a penguin habitat.

Hire an army of midget security guards for going out on Saturday nights

Go to a republican fund raiser and offer every official's wife $10,000 to fuck them(this is one of those spur of the moment drunk plans that backfire on you)

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
 
So she is happier now than with the 10 mill? Keep lying bitch

that shits a burden man. Imagine the daily hassles, the people she had to let go of-friends/family she lost, beggers, expectations, people counting her money...winning sounds good & we all dream of it, but there's a downside to that shit that most people can't handle. Literally having to seclude yourself just to escape the bullshit other people bring to your door. Its a gift & a curse :smh:
 
I do not think she is broke, she locked away money for her kids and sure that is in the millions. She just not liquid to cover her bills.

Yep.

I actually think some of these people just want to get rid of the money (or make others believe they have) due to all of the baggage that comes along with it.
 
I'm actually more shocked when people actually KEEP most of their winnings!! :hmm: Look at the ones who play the lotto. The vast majority are people wishing on a star to escape their circumstances, with very low personal finance IQ. They think of all the things they can SPEND those millions on :money:. Right away you can tell that's the wrong mentality.

At least they had it for a while, I stay on the poverty line :angry:

When Billie Bob Harrell Jr. won $31 million in the Texas lottery back in 1997, he was a former Pentecoastal preacher working as a bag boy in a Home Depot. The win seemed, for lack of a better term, heaven-sent, but the outcome was hardly that.

He bought himself a few things, like a home and cars and things of that nature, but he ended up loaning out a lot of his money to so-called friends and family who came out of the woodwork upon hearing of his newfound riches. No surprise, he never received any of the money back, and he was broke within two years. Sadly, Harrell committed suicide in 1999, only 20 months after initially winning the lottery. Hopefully his "friends and family" feel some guilt about it..

William "Bud" Post was unfortunately the victim of the common phenomenon that lottery winners have to go through: Family members coming out of the woodwork assuming that they are entitled to a chunk of the cash that was won for no reason other than that they are related.

When Post won $16.2 million in the lottery, his girlfriend sued him for some of his winnings, actually winning her case. His brother attempted to hire a hitman to kill him so that he could get the money for himself—it was unsuccessful, but still, hello crazy. His other siblings persuaded him to make bad investments that left him $1 million in debt and living off social security checks at the time of his death. Makes you question your loyalty to the people you call "family."

Micheal Carroll won $15.5 million (£9.7 million) in the London lotto, but in just eight years, he blew through it.
What did he spend his money on? Drugs, gambling, and prostitutes.
Now, Carroll is living off unemployment checks, which give him about $67 (£42) per week.

Some people just aren't meant to be rich and stay rich.

If I was ever fortunate to have something like that happen to me, I would continue working. That's the difference between people like me and people like the woman in the article.

Rather than worrying about maintaining a 9 to 5 to pay the bills, you can finally give that movie script you've been pondering your full attention; the book you've been wanting to write; buying a franchise or starting your own; learning to play a musical instrument; finally learning to speak the Chinese language fluently; or pursue that acting career full-time because you can afford not to have a day job.

You now have an extra forty hours to do whatever the fuck you want.

Some people will use it productively.

Others won't. Thus, they will spend money carelessly out of boredom.
 
Catching a bus to a part-time job?

I think its bigger than that - just imagine the amount of stress she had going from hood rat to millionare - you feel like you owe everybody something and support. She's essentially just glad that it's over now and people will just leaver her alone. All of a sudden all her friends became leachers instantly.


I've always said I need a strong support group when I win because I'm going completely ignorant :dance:

I always said If I won first thing Id do is get a financial advisor. I'd get more than one and cross reference their "advice"....


Shit, she would have struggled way less living off the interest.
 
I guess that is normal. Unless you can come up with a way to make the money grow faster than you spend it, and escape your family because that is where the real pressure is. Your money will go.
 
It seems like "family and friends" are the leading reason people go broke after striking it rich. If we wasn't talking before- we ain't got shit to talk about now. People will try to scam you left and right, fam will do it to you the worst though.

hell maybe it's the truth :dunno:

especially now that all the users, leeches, relatives etc. have dropped out of her life & finally stopped bothering her

One of the first words you learn as a child is the word NO! One syllable, very easy to remember, easy to say...

I'd rather revert to infancy than to be broke to be happy... Shit, I'm not a multi-millionaire yet, but I have already perfected the art of saying the word NO... :yes:
 
I would break some off for the immediate family then change my number and move out of state before every one else comes out the woodwork. Deuces!

Most CEOs...they have drivers or copters

Do you know most CEO's in NYC to say that this is absolute truth??? :confused:

:hmm:

Know them? No. Places I've worked with headquarters in NYC/NJ have their CEOs in Manhattan condos & Connecticut homes w/ drivers. I asked why, I've been told its par for the course for Fortune 500 companies.

This is the right idea. If you're busy doing shit, you're too busy to fuck away the money. I'd keep my current job for a while (realistically I'm gonna go do other shit at some point). I actually like my job. Maybe not love, but I don't loathe going to work.

At minimum tho, I've always said I'll buy some shit that I don't "need," but at least umma OWN the shit outright. I'm not getting stuff that comes with payments.
