I've never bought lottery tickets and still don't, but if I would and finally won a huge amount, I know that my life wouldn't become one of total leisure. I'm too work-identified to give it up entirely. The difference would be that I would have a wider range of choices and I wouldn't have to rely on the income from my work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296380.post-26755407687352136312007-11-04T12:10:00.000-05:002007-11-04T12:10:00.000-05:00It's fascinating how so many of us go through this...It's fascinating how so many of us go through this same exact thought process, and ultimately conclude that we are happy with the way things ARE.<BR/><BR/>Are there any truly happy lottery winners?

It can be fun, and often I come to a similar conclusion about my life. There are so many things in my life that I wouldn't change. I have too many THINGS already.
