When did it occur to you that you were never going to be wealthy?

Dearist DUmmies, I realized it Thursday morning when I checked the Powerball numbers. BUT no worries, it'll get up there again some day and I'll have another shot. 

I do play with a buck or two on very rare occasions.

If I do win, I will "fully*" fund CC!! [I get to decide what the definition of "fully" is]

Same here--though the group at work that I run won $8.

$8! WOOOhooo livin large, livin large.

I was in a couple of lottery pools when the Florida lottery was up around 100 million 15 years or so ago. Between both pools we had 1500 tickets and we played for 3 weeks straight trying for the big money. Out of those 4500 tickets we hit twice for 3 numbers. I became convinced that the Lottery was a losing proposition. We still throw a buck or 2 in once in awhile but for the most part we leave it alone. I tell people I win every week that I don't play.

The best part of that was that we then turned that into $4.

Hey like the saying goes, gotta spend money to make money!

There's more than one way to be wealthy but they can only think of one. For a group of people who always talk about getting back to nature and living simpler lives they sure seem mighty concern with money.

I worked hard, got low end rich, drove Formula Bord Race cars for several years, which cost enoughb to drop me off the "rich" scale, then my eldest son started college, younger son started 4 years later. After 8 years, I( starded to "rebuild" and was "low end rich" again, and things looked swell. Then, both parents died within a two month period, and shortly thereafter a creeping illness almost killed me. AND 5 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THAT i LEFT RTHE HOSPITAL

Know how ya feel! I been in and out 4 times in the last 2 months! Pretty bad when you start callin' the nurses by their first names!

Looks like I have to go in one more time. The idiot that removed my gallbladder dropped a stone in my abdominal cavity and it has now worked its way up under my rib cage. Breathing has become a real pain! Pun intended!

I once matched 5 numbers w/o the PowerBall and won a 100 bucks! I put it back in and , zilch!

ETA:

I realized right then, I was not going to be rich until........ next week! Lol!

When did it occur to me that I was never going to be wealthy?

When I started paying useless DoUchenozzles to sit on their asses via tax dollars.

You said it brother! It's too bad the sole thing most politicians go to DC for now is to pad their own pockets!
