Powerball Rant



First of all, yes I am about to post about the Powerball! I know I am adding to the talk about it just by posting. All I have to say is..... OH WELL! Everyone has these huge plans for winning the Powerball. A majority of these plans have "I would quit my job" at the top of the list. First of all, if you are that desperate to quit your job then you probably need a new job. I'm not saying I want to stay at my job forever, but I am not desperate to quit my job by any means.

Second of all, you are one of millions of people that has already planned to spend money that you have a very small chance of winning. Plus there are probably people out there who could win the money that would put it to a better use then you. There are people who could use that money to make this world a better place. Most of the ways I have heard people talk about using this money are ridiculously self centered. We act entitled to money that we haven't won simply because we walked in a store, spent a few dollars, and bought a ticket. How many times have you heard "I deserve this money."

You deserve it? Who owes it to you? The universe, God, society, life! Even if you get it that doesn't mean you DESERVE it. Then there is the complaint about some of this money being paid in taxes. The money no one has won yet and no one is entitled to. Are you really surprised there are taxes on it?

This is my rant, sorry if you don't like it. I really have nothing against the powerball, I just hope the people who win the money do something good with it. Build up society, build up yourself, your friends, your family. This is a promise to myself that if I won a large some of money at any point, I would use it to do some good in the world!

(This is not meant to offend anyone, just is a something I have been thinking about lately).
