...best to keep that a secret

 

[basquebromance]

no way. if i became a millionaire, i would gloat all day about it

 

[rightwinger]

Good Story

If they get a good financial advisor, in Tennessee they will be set for life

They should also have no problem finding future brides

To all of your new fake friends? haha If that happened to me I would never let new people in unless they earned my confidence before they found out about my wealth.

I would want it totally secret for security reasons
....I was just about to post a thread on humans and committing crime...in a lot of incidents, it's not 1, or 2 or 3 people involved in a robbery/etc, but more .....it's amazing that so ''many''' are talked into helping to commit a robbery ....for $$$$$$$$$$$........especially nowadays
....1 person thinks about robbing/etc, and they talk some more into it!!!
......mostly robbery, but murder also

I'd get me an Asian babe

Good for them!

Now don’t do anything too stupid, kids!

 

[harmonica]

..buy a house and car and that's a major part of expenses ......and a great investment

 

[rightwinger]

Good for them!

Now don’t do anything too stupid, kids!

After taxes they should clear about $850 K

They could blow that in a couple of years
Hopefully their parents will talk them into reasonable investments that they can live off of

Unless their parents, friends and relatives soak them dry

^^^ That right there is just another reason why keeping such a thing a secret may be the best move to make. Once your "kin folk" get word about your winnings, you can kiss the much more smoother road good bye. In other words, trust no one.

God bless you and the boys always!!!

They won't have to waste away their lives working every day. Winners.

No need to worry, it won't ever happen to you.

 

[Mr Natural]

They’ll still have to work, but what they won’t have to do is take any shit from the boss.

And that can be very liberating.

Seriously? They are going to pay 70% in taxes?

I'll get rich the old fashioned way.

Are you fucking kidding me!?!?
Thats not enough money for two youngsters to retire for the rest of their lives!!!
It's not even close!
Hell,the Wife and I have spent over a million in the last thirty years!!
The only way these kids will truly benefit from the windfall is to invest it wisely and continue to work as if they have no money.
Let the principle work for them and they could retire at 50 maybe.
You need at least a million to retire at 55 these days unless you dont mind living in abject poverty.

Show your math

If they clear $850k they could easily pull $40k to $60 k each year
You could conceivably survive on it in Tennessee but inflation would eat it up

^^^ I don't know how much gas is where them boys are, but its $3.09 here in east Tennessee.

God bless you and them always!!!

P.S. I could be wrong, but I believe that their city is near Nashville.
