Gotta take care of title and registration (and license plates) for the Lexus. Plus I'm getting the Z re-titled in my name

Pfff....When I went to register the Z, the first time I got to the DMV at 10am, didnt leave til 4pm. Had to go back the following week because of a problem with the Title, got there just before 8am, was done by 3pm. When my dad worked as a Drivers Safety Hearing Officer, he used to just take me to the front of the line. Then when he retired, the wait was only a couple hours.. Now.. a full work day. I wont say anything but people who shouldnt be allowed a drivers licence were getting drivers licenses.. this is california.

The other option was to drive 30+ minutes to Taylor. The wait was and still is 0 minutes there

The burger patty slap is the ultimate way to quit. It’s first on my ‘I won the powerball’ list.

Could Elon keep his mouth shut long enough for me to sell off my Tesla stock at some profit? Jesus

nahhh see i have a different plan if i would even play let alone win the powerball.

i'd probably work another couple years let the interest build since you lose 30% off the top anyways. obviously i would instantly build the GTR but i'd try and hold off buying other stuff just for a little.

30% my ***. You’d be lucky to get 55% of the total. There’s no reason to not spend some of it. Say you take home $100MM. I’d be done with my impulse spending before I ever hit $10MM. Therefore; you still have $90MM to sit and live off the interest. At a reasonable interest rate, say 3%, and taxes you’d have probably $2MM a year to live off of and never touch the rest of the money.

Yeah, after taking the lump sum and taxes, you end up with less than 50%. Financial planners say to splurge like 5% of your winnings to get that impluse spending out of your system.
