I'd finish up the 2nd Masters degree I'm working on now because I'm halfway through & wouldn't just drop out now. I'm on year 2 of working the job I need the degree for. I'd do just enought to earn my degree, but that doesn't mean I have to work the job I just got the degree for! I'd quit on a good note, but I'd never see her nor any coworkers again.

I'm a rather solitary person who never had many friends, so it would be really interesting to see who wants to be my friend then.

Yes, I would travel about every season, so that's 4x's a year, but I wouldn't want to be away any longer than 2 weeks. To me, that's just enough to not get sick of traveling. I'd have a nice house, maybe a 2nd house, & a few cars though. I'd of course get my parents anything they wanted & I'd want to donate to organizations that help kids & animals.

If your job is the main thing that makes you unhappy, then YES winning the lottery would make you at least happier. It's not that I want to be rich, but I just hate having to work. I'd be VERY happy to be wealthy enough to never have to work again unless it was a job that I loved.

Agreed.

I don't wish to be Bill Gates rich (it's a bonus, but certainly not something that would make or break me), I just wish to have enough financial stability where I won't have to rely on other people (as other people WILL take advantage of you when you're down and out) or the government to have my basic needs met and afford a few luxuries.

As for any excess income I know I'll never use, I'll probably give it all away (not to big name non-profit charities like the American Red Cross that will take off 75% for overhead).
