50 million

If you are Canadian and certainly if you live in the GTA (Toronto, Ontario) you have heard that the latest 50 million dollar winners are a group of *19 Bell employees. I say *19 because more employees are claiming a piece of the pie. As it stands the 19 will each get $2.6+ million each. Of course that may change, but who knows. Now the news is how those who thought they were in but found out they aren't feel and what are the rules of play etc etc.

Then, I sat down with my unopened mail. And experienced what millions do every day. That pit in your stomach that says more is flowing out than coming in. How do I make my commitments and save as well.

Money Just Sucks

I can't help but think about what that 50 million could really do. What if each person took enough to cover all their bills, to bring them in to a zero balance with mortgage, credit cards, kids university education etc. plus a sum (lets say $100,000) to invest for their retirement then passed the rest on. The next family did the same thing, and the next and the next and so on. How many people would have their lives shifted? 50 million even if every took 1/2 a million that's 100 families. Instead there are 19 people fighting with a handful more over whether they are going to share their 50 million.

That's 100 people who are setting themselves up for life. Yes they keep working, but what a way to work. no debt, just making money to pay you daily expenses. No student debt for your kids, no mortgage payments. Living you life as you always have been with no financial stress. HA!

I promise. If I win the lottery this is what I will do. Take what will allow me to breathe easier when a bill comes in, and pass the rest on.

I was just thinking, that's all.
