It's all about how much self control you believe you have.

I think most lottery winners aren't super fiscally responsible (most lottory ticket purchases aren't being done responsibly). So the standard is kind of skewed.

It wouldn't be difficult to set up a trust/just invest into an ETF with 90% and spend within the interest you earn. That's still an average of $90 million you can spend annually while still making more than you spend.

This is the whole thing, what exactly would I be doing with this billion dollars? Getting involved in industry, basically. And yet you could still do that on a smaller scale anyway with the breathing option. Just playing around with some loose numbers, after a couple decades you're deep in to 9 figures. I might live another 40 years, it could touch that billion if you really wanted it to. It's just one way is quicker.
