I wont front. I think about money a lot. Not so much in having it but all the things I could do and people I could help with it, but even in day dreaming I try to keep my ideas practical. I 100% agree with the following:
Money buys you three things: it buys fun, it buys security, and it buys time. The only problem is that if you neglect one of these three things at the expense of the others, you lose them all.
You've got to have balance. I came across this old story of a lottery winner who's fortunes didn't get much better with his winnings.
William "Bud" Post III, 66, whose $16.2 million in lottery winnings brought him debt, despair and heartache, causing the kind of trouble often recounted in country-western songs, died of respiratory failure Jan. 15 at a Pittsburgh area hospital.
"Everybody dreams of winning money, but nobody realizes the nightmares that come out of the woodwork, or the problems," he said in 1993, five years after winning the Pennsylvania lottery.

Willy fucked up by handing out money to every Tom, Dick and Harry in his contact list. The problem with winning the lotto is that people get happy and feel the need to tell the world. I hate that they announce the winners. There should be more privacy! I always said that if I won and they announced it, I would pay off my debt and skip town. I don't need a bunch of freeloaders with their hands out!
If they didn't publicly expose my winnings, I'd keep my same life. I would definitely make a few upgrades. My Baltimore City apartment would be a Manhattan one. My regular ass Milky Way yaki weave would be upgraded to a fancy Beyonce-esque lacefront. I'd continue to work though...probably make some SMART investments because you wanna do something that keeps the money coming in. It's too easy to lose everything. I just wouldn't do too much to draw attention to myself. No mansion. No fancy cars. No excessive jewelry. No popping bottles in the club...well maybe on a special occasion lol. No fur coats and caviar. These people hit big and wanna get an 11 room mansion, 5 cars, a pet tiger, hand out money to everyone who asks, make stupid investments, and then retire. You can't think like a poor man who just got his tax refund. First thing coloreds do when they get their income taxes back is go to Red Lobster. cut that shit out!!
LMAO!!!!!!
I'm Mad yo ass said "Coloreds"
