Ummm Teddygirl, did you just win the lottery?
No I wouldn't quit my job. I'm 38, that's maybe 4 years worth of expenses for me. Then what would I do?
If I had that kind of money I'd pay off my debts & my mortgage, which would take pretty much all of it, then bank as much of my paycheck as I could for retirement & finally buy my shore house.

$257,000,000 ($275 million) or $275,000?
$275 million - After taxes (which would be nearly 50%) you'd still have $150 million or so. I'd retire and I'd ensure my parents and in-laws homes and debts were paid, and that we had enough $$ set aside for DS's college education. Then I'd invest the rest and live off the interest, and donate a lot to charity.
$275,000? After taxes, around $150,000, well, I'd pay off debt, take a great vacation w/ family, then invest the rest. But I'd still probably have to work!

Hey LauraMax, I WISH,
But I’d definitely consider quitting my job, actually I'm sure I'd. I probably buy and sell homes. I'd figure out something, I hate working for someone, life is just too SHORT....I would have my own schdule.
I figure most of us would spend the money on Cathe workout DVD's lol
:7 :9

No, I wouldn't quit my job, it wouldn't last long enough. But I would do like Laura said and pay off my mortgage and all dept. Then maybe buy a Hybred car. If there was anything left after all that I would try to invest it in something, or put it in an account for my son to go to college.

I'd give money to my parents, sisters and brothers, pay off my houses, convince DH to quit his job and have tons of fun after investing enough to live off the interest for the rest of my life. I'd probably travel and take tons of classes.

$275 is really NO money but it is if you don’t have it. Me I hate working for some one else and I hate my job,x( x( doing the same thing every f%$$ day its so boring. But if I don’t work I can’t eat and God only knows how much I like to eat
Seriously tho, I’d definitely make the money work for me some kind of way. I'd work on doubling what I’m making now a month and live……;-)
I can dream right, and hope that one day one of my Mega tickets will be my lucky meal ticket

>You quit your job? I figure after taxes you probably walk
>away with $235,000
No, that's not enough to quit a job, IMO.
I would use the money to first pay off my house and car, do home repair and sell and buy a new house.
Now, if I won $189 million (as I had a dream about doing!), I would probably quit my job, or go to part-time, or take some unpaid leave of absence!

If I won that amount of money, I'd get a bigger house -one with a large, well-equipped workout room and another bedroom for the next baby, pay off any debt, pay for my children's college, take a couple nice vacations (one to go see Cathe and take one of her classes) and invest the rest.

oops, I thought we were talking about MILLIONS here. For $275,000 it looks like DH has to get back to work...
