1. hire a tax lawyer or whomever (financial planner?) to give us advice
2. put that shit in a bank, multiple banks (since the fdic only insures up to a certain amount). tho nothing crazy
3. opt for 26 annual payments (maybe you get less money this way but i don't care. i like the guarantee of money coming in for the next 2+ decades)
4. draw up a will and a prenup
5. buy a house. something normal sized (i like bixby knolls)
6. probably get married soon after
7. set up a website to take requests from people who need money (seriously. i've been planning this out for years)
i think rip pretty much would do the same. except maybe #4 and #7. #4 because he doesn't want a prenup (and this would be the same if he won the powerball, not just if i won it). i think it's a great idea. i don't mind us sharing all assets obtained before and during the marriage, but not after. i think that's weird. how are you entitled to what i'm making after we're no longer together? you don't want to be with me anymore, but you still want my money? um... no.
i don't think it's cause i'm stingy. i mean, you can have half, more than half, whatever who cares when we're together. in addition to our house, i'd want to buy his family a house too (cause they're living in an apartment), tho i'd be less inclined to by my parents one (since they already own two). and of course the deed would be in their name, and our house would have rip and my names on it, i don't care. but i just don't see why you should get anything if we're no longer together.
i got the feeling that rip really didn't care because it's so much money. it's not like we're winning a "paltry" couple million; it's 1.6 BILLION! (assuming we don't need to split it with too many other winners) neither he nor i could ever really spend that amount of money cause neither of us will go crazy and blow it on mansions, giant yachts, or blow (fingers crossed!). but the amount of money doesn't make a difference to me, it's the principle.
