Most people fantasize about winning the lottery and then quitting their jobs. But, not just quitting, actually exiting the company in a fashion that includes flipping off your boss, turning desks, throwing files in the trash and pimp walking out of the building with your deuces in the air, like Chris Brown. Well, maybe that's not everybody, but I have ran across some people who say that is exactly what they would do if they hit the mega millions.
Now, what would I do...hmmm...I know for sure I would not quit my job immediately. I could see myself working for at least 6 more months after the win (and collection of funds of course) until I figure out what my next move would be. Invest in a franchise, purchase investment property, I don't know but a plan would have be to made! I probably wouldn't even want people to know I won, except for my mortgage company, because I would definitely be paying off my house!
One million dollars is not what it used to be and I've read that even millionaires are pinching their pennies. So if you hit the power ball think twice before you utter those two words - "I quit". Today I ran across an article on Money.msn.com which highlights a couple (who has decided to remain anonymous - smart, right)who won the lottery and kept their 9 to 5 jobs. Click on the link below and find out why they decided to keep working.
