If you won the lottery (I think powerball is up to $800M cash value now), would you keep your current job? Change jobs? Or quit working altogether?

I personally think I would want to keep doing work of some sort, but maybe I’d switch off to consulting on a smaller scale. Definitely not full time.

There is zero chance I would continue working if I woke up with a 9 figure net worth. I might consider doing some volunteer work down the road, but in the short term, I would quit and treat myself to some serious R&R. And a new house. And car 😂

I would probably keep my current job for a while, but I’d be a lot more open to doing something else! Something where I could set my own hours and have some flexibility.

I like having something to do. So, I’d probably keep working in some fashion. But I’m not sure if I would strive to “climb” the ladder. So, I’m sure my work ethic would look different.

This is exactly how I feel. I always want to be doing something, but it would definitely be without the ambition I have now.

Quit

Edit to say, I’d quit and find more fulfilling ways to fill my time. Volunteer, travel, try to start a fulfilling business etc. I would most definitely not work in corporate though.

Depends if I won it all I’m sure I’d quit but idk now.. and I only say that because I just started this job and I actually enjoy it lol 😂

Absolutely no chance id stay on this job 🤣 Id open a bakery!
I’d 100% stay in this job though until they found someone to replace me, as I love the people at my work and wouldn’t wanna put them out

Heck no. The way I would turn in my two weeks notice so fast. I wouldn't be able to quit quickly enough.

I would promote myself to customer in record time.

Immediately retire and fulfill my calling for animal rescue

I’d probably quit the 9-to-5 grind, but I’d still want to stay busy with something meaningful, Maybe a mix of part-time projects or volunteering. I can’t imagine doing nothing at all!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

What would be the inhand sal. for below structure.

Phone addiction. I truly feel like I have one now and I hate it. Is anyone feeling the same or possibly improved your phone addition? I am constantly on my phone and my usage is averaging 5.5 hours per day. I wake up to my phone and it's the last thing I see before bed. On it between meetings and any moment that I don't have to be focused. I will say that my phone doesn't get touched when I'm with people. Almost at all. It is a cycle of insta, snap, and FB. With LinkedIn and this in between.
