What is life AFTER wining the lotto jackpot like? what life changes you should expect after winning a big cash prize, and the #1 mistake you MUST learn to avoid to stay sane, safe and happy.
How does life change for most lotto winners?
Most quit work. (often immediately) Many become the primary caretakers for their families.....often being responsible for the financial well being of cousins, nephews, kids, friends and anyone else who shows up at their door with their hands out. Many feel a ton of pressure...and new found insecurity about who they should trust...and who should be avoided. Often including people who have been part of there lives for years.
What about the positive changes a lotto winner experiences?
The fun and freedom of being financially free is a very liberating thing. You can do the things you want...when you want. You can come and go as you please.. freedom of time. Another is that you get a perspective on money that MOST people never will. You learn to appreciate it....but not worship it.
The #1 MISTAKE that most lottery winners regret is this.......
Learning to say "NO". The truth is, "no" is the most important word for a lottery winner to learn. Too many people want to much from you..and you can't reasonably accommodate everyone. Not saying "no" early can lead to fractured relationships later....and a constant and never ending barrage of requests that CAN ruin your life and your relationships. I remember a lotto winner who was rush to St. Luke medical center in Quezon City way back 4 years ago because of nervous breakdown. The reason was to much pressure from relatives who were asking for help. The lotto winner could not say a simple word "NO". It was a never ending problem from her relatives until almost all her winnings were gone.
I hope anytime now, you are ready to receive your lotto jackpot prize together with the word "NO". But still, the only solution for all this problem ....I will say it again .... keep it a secret when you win the lotto jackpot.
