Not sharing the prize is a strategy to ensure your future
Although winning the lottery is a stroke of luck, for this young man it means having economic stability during the rest of his life.
When after a while buying with his wife a tenth of lottery, luck smiled at them, he decided that “he did not want to be part of 70% of the lottery winners who end up in bankruptcy and did not want to have to work back in a real job ever again.”
Far from wasting money, the young man, who works in the financial sector, decided to invest most of the award. After paying his pending debts, about 4.3 million euros had left. Of which invested 2.5 in mutual funds, reits and preferential actions to ensure solid and low risk.
With the remaining almost 2 million, he bought an apartment complex valued at 5 million, an investment that, according to him, “generates cash flow and will give us high yields with low risk.”
A stable future but far from your family
The young man expected his family to celebrate the news with enthusiasm and feel proud of how he had handled fortune, but the reality was very different. “I thought that his first reaction would be to rejoice for me and how we had been financially responsible for money,” he explains.
His relatives began to ask for paid trips, that he would liquidate his debts and give them on them on the award. It was then that he decided to set limits, because “5 million is a lot of money, but not so much to walk by giving it.”
The answer was not well received. According to his testimony, his family recriminated his attitude and broke relations with him. “They told me that I was not welcome in the family and that I should never speak to them again,” he laments.
Despite the conflict, he is convinced that he made the right decision “I am doing my best for me and my wife.”
