>tfw spent my life savings on lottery tickets for a shot at

You lost. I'm a magical wizard so I already know.

How much do you have saved?

>>36536958
>playing the lotto is the idiot tax
Well done retard.

>>36536958

Thr lottery is literally free money. Good on you for figuring it out

>>36536983
6000 bucks

>>36537002
I'd rather take a 0.000001% chance of living a NEET life than a 100% chance of being a wage slave into my 60s.

>>36537012
I really hope you win and no use worrying about it now, but you could have actually learned how to invest that 6000 to make more. With chances of funding neetdom WAY higher.

Good luck OP. I've put a lot of money into home lotteries myself. What lottery did you put the money into?

Dude, if you will buy loto tickets you'll lose them. If you're feeling risky buy BTC and invest into some cheap altcoins, some of them were pumped and got x1000 more expensive. Just don't invest everything in one coin and you might be in luck. I bought Reddcoin with 20$ like a month ago and now I have 60$ worth of it. I'd invest too but I make 200$ a month so I can't afford it, if you're feeling generous let me know ;)

>>36537030
You can't live the NEET life with 6,000 no matter how you invest it. Assuming a 5% return year over year, which is about the absolute max you can expect it would be 26,000 in 30 years, and inflation would make it worth around 17,000 in todays money.

>What lottery did you put the money into?
US Powerball.

You wasted $6000 when you could have used that money to invest in an IRA ever couple of years, or another safe investment. You are dumb as fuck.

>>36537083
you will win about $61

sorry anon :(

Yes dumb, I mean smart, goyim, be independent, buy those lottery tickets issued by my company.

>when you could have used that money to invest in an IRA ever couple of years, or another safe investment
What would be the point of that? The returns on an IRA are fucking abysmal. Wow, I might have 10,000 more in 30 years, woo fucking hoo, by the time it becomes a meaningful amount I'm a worn out husk after 3 decades of wage slaving. Fuck that. Go big or go home, I want the NEET life and I want it now and the lottery is the only way to get a sum large enough to live off for the rest of my life within a year. If you have alternatives that can give me 1 million+ by the end of 2017 go ahead but don't give me this safe investing bullshit like it will do anything but give me some pocket money in 30 years time, retard,

>spends his life savings on lotto tickets
>calls me the retard

>>36537148
Yes, goyim, spend that money, you are going to wage slave anyway. Stupid motherfucker.

>>36536958

I can understand it desu. It's not a good idea, but I understand it. At this point, I think winning the lottery is the only way I could fix my life too.

Anyone remember that big jackpot from a while back? It was like $1 billion. I remember lots of people on this board posting about it. I bought tickets and despite knowing better allowed myself to get a little too hopeful and started imagining all day what I would do if I got the money. Just made the losing and the crash back to reality all that much harder.

>>36537212
Face it. Investing doesn't get you anywhere. You'll waste your entire life wage slaving and all you'll have to show for it is a paltry sum that you can't actually do anything with since you're a 65 year old dried up husk by the time it matures.

>>36537157
But but you could spend $40 on drugs and feel like you have a million for a short amount of time AND still have money for things you need in life.
You also could have been a neet for years in the countryside with 6k.

>>36537238
Imagine what you could do. Buy a comfy NEET hole and live the rest of your life comfy knowing you can watch anime all day every day for the rest of your life. Pay someone to do all your shopping so you never have to leave your NEET hole. Bliss.

>>36537240
Investing works if you know how to do it. You won't be Bill Gates and it'll take some time but that goes for literally everyone that doesn't have a rich daddy to leech off of. And even then that'd still make more sense than wasting your entire goddamn savings on what is quite literally the idiot tax.

>>36536958
Thanks for paying the retard tax

>>36537331
Define "works", because if it doesn't let me live off passive income within 10 years then no it doesn't fucking work at all

>>36537434
Well I hope you invested in a .44 and a bullet because you're going to be in for a rude awakening. Then again I'm talking to someone who just wasted all his money on lotto tickets so you keep doing what you're doing bud.

>>36537460
Yeah thats what I thought, retard. Fucking investing, give me a break. Can't believe you fell for the "Sock 5,000 bucks a year away and when you're 65 you'll have a cool 100k saved up goyim!" meme.

I genuinely hope that you win, OP. That'd be so neat.
Really, though, best of luck.

>>36537802
Thanks man. Looking forward to settling in and enjoying the NEET life. Might even take a trip to Japan to celebrate.

congrats on spending 6k on paper you're going to loose it all

>tfw op could have given me a ryzen 5 computer instead

>>36538043
Intels are still better

>>36538030
Be positive. Positive vibes will help me win

>>36536958
Hope you win, but do you have a plan in the very likely chance you don't win?

>>36538340
Planning for failure is for people with no faith.

>>36538390
There's a difference between bravery and stupidity.

>>36538390
I mean you do you, man, but it might be smart to have a plan for something that has a 99+% chance of occurring.

>>36538418
It'll be a choice between accepting a lifetime of wage slavery or exit bag

>>36537157
if you lose are you going to an hero?

when are you going to find you if you won or not

>>36538506
Thursday night

>>36536958
I really want you to win. What will you do if you don't though

>>36536958
Dubs and you give me $5000

I'm sorry for you OP, you should have came here to post before you did anything so that we could have advised you better.

Lotteries are evil. If you must play, never buy more than one ticket.

>>36538428

We all do stupid shit, don't double down on stupid by killing yourself, ok?

Sorry for harshing your vibe OP, good luck.

>>36536958
You could also be creative and try to sell things on the internet. You never know if this stuff could be successful, there are people who became millionaires by selling fucking greeting cards.

Lottery is a test of skill and if you want to win, you literally have to spend months watching the numbers before making an invesment.
Gratz, you just lost your money retard.

>>36536958
OP if you win, can I have $500 USD please?

>>36538848
Yeah right. You have to be nearly the absolute best in the country in your particular specialty to have any chance at all. It also requires extreme levels of dedication and persistence for months or years before you even know if it will work or not, and 90%+ chance it fails anyway. Online markets are winner-take-all and completely dominated by Jews and rich Chinese people.

>>36539550
All you need to do is pick the most random numbers possible. Bam, instant win.

>>36539955
>tfw even with digits of significance, I will forever be a povertyfag

>>36540415
You got bigger problems is 500 bucks is all that is between you and poverty

take my power, OP

Be sure to tell us how it goes, OP.

You could have put it in stocks you fucking moron. Still a risk but at least you steadily gain money from it.

what are the rules for the us lottery?

>>36540691
Well obviously anon. I know this. That's why I posted what I did.

>>36540835
Pick some numbers. If those numbers are the same as the numbers that get drawn then you win a shitload of cash. Same as any other lottery.

OP when is the draw? Will you an hero if you lose?

>>36537062
he's talking venture capital anon.

its risky but still safer than fucking lotto. Are you really this stupid holy shit? What I would have done:

You're thinking of a CD, an ira is just the tax status of an account you can own any kind of investment inside and it isn't taxed until you take out money

>>36541041
Oh okay. What pays better than a CD? Literally anything?

Is there someplace I can make like 6% with low risk?

>6% low risk
There are some annuities that pay 6% with zero risk problem is you can't touch that money for a few years
Investing in market indexes can get you higher returns in the long run if you don't panic in inevitable dips

All depends on what you're looking to gain and what risks you can tolerate my man

I know people who have spent far more on lottery and gambling and won nothing.

i'd say whatever floats your boat, but it seems you've sunk it

Holy fuck, you guys aren't pretending to be retarded. You actually ARE retarded. I'd have more respect for you if you spent 6k on blow. You people are amazing, really

>>36537062
That is not the max you can expect

>>36541299
The wise idea is to build up an insured savings account before investing in riskier things. Then you can outlast a bad market if you need to. There will always be downturns, you just don't want to be forced into a position of having to cash out during one. And actually if you can afford to keep investing in a down market you will be even better on the other side. This is why all the retirement guides say to save a regular amount every paycheck.

I buy scratchers I feel like I'll have a better chance at winning

>>36541372
>>36542785
Thanks. I need to get some stocks it seems, I'm doing pretty good in the savings account. So maybe now need to start buying some stocks...
