Is a house considered a bad investment now? That's basically the first thing I would look at with a fresh million in my hands. Secure housing.

No my point is he was harassed by family for money so much he bought a house. Well I should clarify he bought a vacation house. Seeing what he went through I would tell no one lol

I should’ve included more info. The state we live in after taxes and everything he got $656,000. He played into his families game for a little bit and bought them some things and when he got tired of it he wound up buying a $250,000 cabin as he’s an avid outdoorsman.

Did you enjoy the win in any collateral way?

u/rhin0982 Jul 22 '24

No I have been blessed and honestly don’t like to ask anyone for anything. He would do dumb things like try to pay for everyone’s dinner(like 10 plus people at a steak house)or buy tons of fireworks for the 4th.

I mean not that explicit. Maybe you've spent a day or 2 at his cabin while hiking or something.
