You’ve won $2.500.000 after taxes. Without laboring, how long do you think you could you live on that?

I have a ton of expensive medical issues so $2.5 mil would go quickly if I’m actually getting treated

In theory you could put it into an investment account or high yield savings account and just treat the dividends like a paycheck - in reality, imma buy a plane or smth (not in a rich person way, im a student pilot)

I could theoretically live way past 40 years, but I wouldn’t want to live in nearly abject poverty for that long.

Id invest it high yield and keep living off my parents (theyre bad ppl im not just mooching to be a dick) till Im done with school and then use it to buy a home+move/vehicle/etc and keep the rest invested low risk for retirement, I wouldnt really use it to live

Why low risk? High risk/high return is the way to go when you’re young; you have 40+ years until retirement

Id rather it be there and secure and gaining slowly while I work and add to it than risk losing money 🤷‍♀️ its simply not my style, Id rather choose to work an extra 5/10 years than risk needing to work an extra 20

I just had a surgery that costs $33k. Had another surgery less than two months ago that was like $25k. My current medications add up to around $500 a month and I should have other meds but can’t afford them. I should be in frequent physical therapy which would be around $500 a month. I have frequent doctor’s appointments which is around $300 a month. In less than two months, that’s up to $60k

Other countries don’t have better healthcare they just have cheaper healthcare

Yeah the specialists I see in the US have people coming from all over the world to see them so going to other countries would be pointless
