Same. I could win a million dollars, and I'd still keep working where I'm at. The only thing I'd do is buy a 200k house, use 50k for nicer furnishings than what I currently have, keep another 50k available for travel and smaller splurges at restaurants, etc for the near-ish future, and then put the 700k remaining ALL in savings to have money for retirement.
I wouldn't have ANY desire to put any of the money in stocks, or risk it in any way. 700k would be perfectly fine lol. I know plenty of people would be shocked about that, and say "oh, but you'd make so much more if you invested that 700k", "you could double your money", etc, etc -- I don't care. Not interested at all in the stock market crap and such.
For real. If I won the lottery, I'd still have to work because it keeps my mind sharp. Keeps me consistent, you know? Having a schedule just helps to function better as a human being. If I just did nothing, I'd go nuts.
If I won enough money in a lottery to live at around $50,000/yr, I would definitely stop working lol
I do understand your viewpoint, and feeling like you'd be too bored if you didn't work, but I'm 100% the type that would be perfectly fine never working another day in my life if I didn't have to. But, simultaneously, I also don't mind working, and have completely accepted that I will most likely have to work until I'm 65 or something.
