552 million! Well it's a good thing I didn't win it. I'd probably die of shock. My youngest would probably buy a hydroplane or a Formula One race car and there goes Number Two Son. My oldest, well his ex would probably come back and try and get rich by killing him since he still hasn't gotten around to doing all the necessary paperwork to make his nice, new girlfriend (the one I like) beneficiary. The neighbors would probably set out food for Monte gone feral, who'd probably wind up really sick because he's unable to keep Meow Mix down. Sure being poor is awful but maybe the universe really does know, in the greater grander scheme of things, what would ultimately be in our best interest. To me it's all about perspective – glass half full/glass half empty. Rather than dwelling on how awful being poor is I try and focus on how terrible things could be if what I thought would be good for me actually wasn't. Of course this is only just speculation because you can't win if you don't play. I figure I don't have to. If it's really in my best interest to be rich it's mine, I don't have to chase after it, it will all in good time come to me. Ha! Let's just hope if and when it does, it's not in the form of a safe, falling from the sky, crashing through the ceiling and landing on my head!
