Sad. Imagine willingly choosing money that has less of a purchasing power in the future.
Lol she just felt it was her duty to donate some of her winnings to the stat
Most people don’t realize how bad this deal is
I am shocked, I was reading the comments and I am pretty sure people weren't cheering her on ironically. Like yeah shes got her 20 year mortgage payment sorted lol! Wild
Most people are very bad with money and winning the lottery actually ruins them. Clearly she is bad with money so ironically this may be the smarter move
If you don't know how to handle money, pray to God you have someone advising you that does. Otherwise, this happens.
That's what the parents should be doing, supporting her and advising but yeah most parents aren't financially savvy
Not sure which is sadder
a.) Brenda’s decision
OR
b.) the fact that most likely she was consulted by her family and friends, who are now congratulating her for the "responsible" decision she made
Either way, Brenda is going to regret this decision.
But if somebody orangepills her quickly, she can skip buying a house and start stacking sats like a total psychopath. If that happens, she is going to be happy (and she can buy that house too).
She'll still likely come out ontop of most people, which is also kinda wild
I mean stacking is still viable, DCA'ing $1000 bucks a week would be better than many of us can put up, but I think it's just going to go to consumption and maybe travel and maybe some kind of house and car
Either way, lump sum or not, many lotto winners end up in the ngmi club
