Just won lottery - wife wants to give it away to deadbeats

The promise must still be reasonable for foreseeable, such that the promisee might reply on the promise financially.

The OP is probably a troll, but:

I have learned a little bit about finances and contracts I didn't know before.

Find knowledge where you can, anywhere. And then obviously verify it ;)

If I won $2 million I'd be set for life.

I can live on 18k a year NET (29k a year gross), and I'm 33. If I live to be 80, that puts me at 47 years left, so 846k is what I'd need lifetime. Adjusting for inflation, that should put me around $1.5 million needed.

33 years ago 18 grand net is like 43 now and there are a lot more things that go into todays ' common overhead' beyond gas and electric we have cable, fancydancy phone, internet & computer plus the associated purchase costs and insurances

18 grand take home 50 years ago is like 134,000 today that's what, a 7.5 fold increase?

assuming this is true, which I doubt, then just let her give it. If you've won over $50 million, then how about some agreement whereby you get 10 million to give away to family/friends of your choice and your wife gets to do the same?You still have over $30 million left, how much do you honestly need?? It's not as if it's hard earned cash, which would understandably be more difficult to just give away.

Tell anyone receiving money that the only conditions of getting it are, a) they keep your win a secret (as far as reasonably possible), and b) they never ask for any more. I'd think anyone receiving $1 million for free, however much of a deadbeat, wouldn't have too much problem agreeing to those

Trust funds distributed annually at increasing rates

Over 50 million, won recently. Couldn't be hard to figure out if that even maps to anyone/anywhere. 50+ million lottery winners aren't an everyday occurrence after all

hmm, welk you boughtn the ticket, its yours and you , You, may do as you please with the win.

however your wife could receive a share of your bounty.

therefore, she can give part of her share to her cousins. with what is left over, she could perhaps buy her own ticket and do as she pleases.

hubby and I have had our taljs over dream wins. however, I dont play the lottery. lol

"then how about some agreement whereby you get 10 million to give away to family/friends of your choice and your wife gets to do the same?"

If you give away more 11 million (as a couple or 5.5 million as an individual), then the amount over that is taxable (at 40%). So to give away 20 million cash, you actually need to give away about 26 million (of which about 6 million is tax to the IRS).

Instead, you can give away unlimited chunks of 28k (per couple or 14k individual) to different individual each year as long as you live - as well up to 11 million total in larger than 28k chunks.

If you want to give away as much as you can, while minimizing your taxes, you'll need to set aside money for yourself (up to 11 million). If what you set aside for yourself is less than 11 million, say 5 million, then you could give away 6 million. As well as 28k chunks to other individuals.

Of course, that's today's rules. Tomorrow may well be different.

OP, are you a jerk? Or just an idiot?

Your wife promised her relatives something. That to me sounds like a binding verbal contract. Unless you want to lose it all in a lawsuit, you'd better hand it over.

Rojo overtly trolling a probable troller. Kudos!

Why is this thread still getting play??

It was proven this guy is trolling by looking at all anon lottery past winners.

Go away.

Give half the money to your wife and let her do what she wants with her half.

Of course, be prepared to give her half of the rest your stuff, hire an attorney, and possibly start looking for a new place to live, etc.

You're clearly a real piece of garbage- just won a sum of money completely by chance and you feel like you deserve it. Share the money. If you're worried about them doing stupid things with it, tell them you're going to pay for their kids education when they graduate, find a way to give it to them that will motivate them to work hard and improve their lives.

Are you religious? Just curious.

Yes, shut your wife up.

If you think a woman living in a shelter with her school grade kids, your just absolutely ignorant and I wouldn't wish it on any woman or child. So if your a woman or kid you got a lot of living and learning to do and if it's a man you probably love in your parents basement. Even if that post is fake, great but even still your heartless towards a woman and kids. Not a real man at all, ur balls not drop yet? Make fun of a homeless family who could lose kids if things continue to get worse. Oh ya your not a real man so you don't care. Go play your role play video games. Some people are just plain sad. Karma!!!!!!

In this most you use an incorrect form of your/you're a shocking number times. This includes "your" being used when it should have been "you're", at least 4 times, as well as "ur" used as a possessive (it should have been your).

I didn't read the other post, so I don't know whether not I disagree with you, but your inability to communicate in an intelligible manner naturally inclines me to think that you're wrong. That is why grammar is important.

Splitting up the money 50/50 now will save you mega dollars when divorce lawyers will do it later. Hate to break it to you, but I give your chance at divorce now about 90-95%. The #1 reason there aren't even more women divorcing their husbands is that they can't afford to do so. Either they don't have the education or the job to live a decent life without their husbands. Winning the lottery just gave your wife all the support she can ever want in a life apart from you. And she won't need you any more. And it sounds like you're going to have some serious arguments over how to spend the millions. So split it up now before the divorce lawyers do in a few years.

61% of divorces are initiated by the wife, but if the wife holds a college degree, the statistics are that 90% of divorces are initiated by the woman, mostly because a college-educated woman can support herself. Like I said, one of the main reasons there aren't more women divorcing their husbands is that they can't afford to do so. The lottery just gave your wife all the means to do so if she feels she no longer needs or wants you.

No, I am not religious

That is true. The cheating thread with the female MD and the male sub teacher proves that.

Women are comfortable when the men are leading the relationship and being the alphas. But if a male is beta but has $ a woman will stick with him as long as the $ is there.

Also the downside is if they want to have kids but are career-oriented they will have to find men who they can marry up to.

I've also noticed both men and women prefer if the man is the breadwinner, even some libs I know (secretly) who agree.

If Sally Schoolteacher is making 45k a year and her husband is making 55k as a Dilbert, that works. If Sally is making 45k and her husband is making 42k that's not a big deal. But at a certain percentage it fails--she wouldn't date a journalist or call center worker making 37k. See Blue Valentine for this--a beta male and his daughter lament the loss of their mom/wife b/c she's an educated nurse.

That's what fems won't tell you. MGTOW.

A lot of successful marriages I know in the suburbs are where men make 35-40% more--executives that live in Dublin or UA usually have SAHM wives or they work part-time. I also saw this in old-money and new-money suburbs in CLE like Chesterland, Chagrin Falls, etc. The men were highly regarded in society and their wives were not trophy (they were accomplished) but they let the men lead. Their kids were popular in HS b/c of their parents' influence. That's what people fail to realize why popular kids succeed in HS--parental influence and politics, but that's another thread...

I know family members where the wife makes $$$ and the husband does ok but not as much, and even though it works for them in terms of raising their kids, the male role is diminished (even though the male in question is alpha in personality and not a beta cuck). Financially she's the alpha though.

Your rating's too high. I agree that "autonomously" instead of "anonymously" was a nice touch, though.

C'mon, you don't think this is real? If I won $50 million, the first thing I would do is get on LRC and start running all kinds of polls on what to do with my money.
