~Have It Forever and Ever~
It Changes everything! It can not buy you friends, however It could rent some. It can not buy you happiness but It can make the places you search more enjoyable. This is a simplistic and light hearted way to look at It, “money.” Well it is money after all, let’s have some fun. We have all heard that Money changes everything; Money can not buy you friends or happiness. Is that true? Why then are state lotteries and casinos growing everyday? Many lottery and casino players are taking chances to win big lump sums of cash. To what end?
I say that there is a myth that many believe is the truth, that a large lump sum of money will provide freedom from financial worries.
There are many stories of someone getting a financial windfall and then a few weeks, months or a year later they were worse off. I know what you are saying, “I would never be like that.” What do you think these people said about themselves before they squandered their Lottery Payments, Casino Jackpot, or Structured Settlement? How can you make it last forever and ever?
Here are five small steps to take that will give you a strong start on your journey;
1. Slow down, wait for the frenzied mind to calm down
2. Pick one big purchase (not too big)
3. Be peaceful about your good fortune
4. Hire an Attorney
5. Hire an expert on financial planning
Keep It simple, keep It between you and your closest confidants, keep track of It, keep on top of It, and you will have a great opportunity to keep IT forever and ever.
