Suppose you won the lotto. Would you maintain the status quo?

Asked by serenityNOW (3641points) June 2nd, 2013

…and I mean, really, really won. Say more that you’d ever need. I think we would all take care of our necessities. Maybe actually own a house free-and-clear, support for the rest of our families, etc.

But, what about creative pursuits, or adventures that were never possible? Right now, I’d still like to learn how to be a better designer, and maybe truly sit down and write a book. Having said that, I wonder if I’d drop it all and just travel, spend extravagantly, hiring maids and gardeners and have people cater to my every need. Would I/you stop looking for love? I’m just throwing this out there – I don’t even play the lotto!

I’d like to say I’d keep up the status-quo and keep on learning and exploring the creative endeavors I’ve come to love, but still I wonder. How do you think this would effect you?

Bonus if you know of anyone who has had this windfall, or maybe you yourself has.
