Your one time payout would be a little over half of that amount. How are you going to keep your Gulfstream V in the air? Do the gold plated crappers have to go. OH NO!, You don't have to give up the fleet of Playboy Playmates that keep you happy..uhmm, that serve you drinks while, flying do you.

I remember coming into a windfall of $109k in 2005. Everyone thought I was rich, including me. Paid off credit cards, paid off car, new roof and room addition on the house, helped brother with college tuition....POOF! all gone. Didn't take long at all.
