Has anyone won a lottery that is life changing? Did you quit work completely or did you take up a lax job to keep busy and earn modestly.

I didn’t win the lottery but my my family is comfortable. I still work because I like what I do. If I ever get bored might go back to school and try something else. Having that kind of freedom makes any job chill.

Not me, but watching David Bromstead’s show gets me thinking about it.

I’d like to say I’d keep working and stay in the same house. But a new kitchen and master bath would make me very happy.

I like my job. I’m exhausted. But I enjoy it generally.

I won the DV lottery back in 2002.

Of course, that only make me work forever.

Greencard 🤭 I'm a winner too!

If you won, you should hire a competent investment and tax expert. Continue mck job and make it a lax job. Just coast. If they fire you, you still have the FU money

No but in all honesty I’d probably just focus on day trading and pick up some contract consulting work just to have the chance of going to offices, interacting with people, etc.

I won the lottery getting a job when I graduated college in '03. People forget that right after the bubble burst, everyone closed up shop in recruiting. Made me look good after that on my resume.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
