Reticently

I have a nephew whose legal name is Michael Knight.  His mom, my sister, is a total airhead though so I don't think it was intentional.

I'd get a 1982  trans am and pay someone to make it look like kitt but put an automatic transmission lol

Man, I'd be having a long difficult think about things if I won $2 million.  Even $1 million would probably shave at least a decade off my wait for retirement.

I'd consider $5 to 10 mil to be "fuck you money."

Oh yeah, the amount obviously changes things pretty drastically... like the difference between whether I moved to the "rich" area of town or not.  If it was "just" something like 1 or 2 mil then at that level I'd stay where I am.  At 20 mil and up I'd move to a certain neighborhood where the "cheapest" property is probably no less than 750 or 800k.  In neighborhoods like that you probably don't have to worry about "Deebo and Big Worm" goons (*ah, if only I could "Thanos snap" such people out of existence completely...) causing trouble anymore....especially if it's a gated community as well.  There's some areas here where the homes look like something you'd see a soap opera family of characters living in.  This also depends of course on how the numbers add up for estimating how much upkeep and any staff for the new place would cost.
 
On a smaller amount of sudden money where I'd have to keep working... 1 thing I'd spoil myself with would be something nice in terms of a car, like a Porsche.  Everything else I enjoy is relatively cheap, like the acquisition of some more arcade machines....but that's possible even on an ordinary "middle-class" salary anyway.

Bruh, when he said live action Tarzan should get the Disney treatment and make him black so wokeism and racism can coexist in the same place- that shit fucking got me 🤣

He should stay even if just for the post he made where he posted pictures of what he thought everyone here looked. Shit was gold 😂

Let him back.  Like, maybe one post in ten of his is legit- but his commitment to his bit is damn impressive regardless.

Atheist by way of catholicism anyway.

GF and I are renting right now just to see how it goes. We really like the house though. So we might ask the owner if we can buy it at the end of our lease. If we cant but we have the money then we're going to buy a house. 

Spent the first night in my new house last night. Kind of a surreal experience. Never thought I’d be able to achieve anything remotely close to a 3 bedroom house

It's a bacteria, and pretty easy to cure with modern medicine as long as you don't wait too long to see a doctor.
 
And it normally takes months of close contact with someone who has untreated leprosy to catch it, which makes it supremely goofy that they can't pin down who in FL is giving it to people.

I mean, yeah - but the thing is that per the article they can't tell why or how people in Florida are catching it.  To the point where the only common thread for them is that they were in Florida.

I would strongly advise going to an accountant/tax preparer and talking to them about this if you haven't already. I had a tax guy that somehow finagled a year that I would have owed back taxes plus a sizeable penalty into me owing nothing and getting a $30 refund. Even if you just call someone and talk to them. It could end up saving you a ton, and the IRS banks on most people not knowing all the tricks and loopholes.

Yeah, but the equity and appreciation go a long, long way to making you feel better about it down the road.
 
We just moved, and we sold our old place for $100k more than we bought it for 6 years ago.

Just going to Florida is now a risk factor for developing leprosy?
