That is my whole point people have the illusion that money will make them happier but does it really?If you suddenly have a million extra dollars you cant honestly say for sure the effect this will have.Sure you will have less stress about bills but you will still have to deal with other stress in life like with your family and friends(more so perhaps because you do not know how your new wealth will effect friendships) you will simply drop one stress but gain others.
Honestly if I some how came across a lot of money I'd put most of it away and save it so that I could have the money when I wanted to use it for something and I'd give a good sum to things like the Wounded Warrior Project. I like the reward of earning something through hard work more so than just getting something that is just my opinion you don't have to agree with me.I am just saying that money being the root of happiness is an illusion.Many folks who win the lotto end up running out of money because they made poor choices with what they got sometimes they have taken advantage of.
Sure some wealthy men have hot looking women but that woman does not truly love the man she loves his money and I dont give a damn what they say any man can find an attractive and good hearted(which is far more important than looks they will not last anyway) woman if she is worth her salt wealth is not that important to her.Even if a person wins a few million that is nothing you can spend well over 4 or 5 million for some properties out there that kind of money in chump change to a truly wealthy person.
The people who gain the most from lotteries are the groups that run them they laugh all the way to the bank.
