307. OK time for my favorite lottery winner story
I remember reading years ago about this hick who had just won millions of dollars on the lottery. As is the custom in these cases he was asked what he was going to do with his newfound wealth. He replied, "Don't know. Might get new seat covers fer muh pickup." This really happened.

Think about it. Don't go crazy.

You can easily get 5% interest on no-risk investments. That's $25K a year that you could draw forever as income without having to touch your half million. And you can actually get about an average 10% return, to be conservative.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. Here's to ya! :toast:
