After over 9 years, this is my post # 6666

Back on track...

I'm sorry to say that you've yet to hit the nine year mark, Spec, but you're only out by a couple of months, so keep trucking! Any way, you sound to be doing well. Any pictures of the turtle?


I'm still single and I'm still knocking about at University, having just started a Master's in Computer Science - I've decided I'm going to build up my debts all at once, rather than cycle through building up small ones and paying them off. I'm hoping to go on to do a PhD, which would start next October, but it all depends on what funding is available. If I can't get any, I suppose I'll have to win the lottery instead.

If I can't get any, I suppose I'll have to win the lottery instead.

I've always wondered if this would work. Not likely.

The return on investment for lottery less than 100%. Usually it's somewhere between 10% and 30%. So for every dollar you spend, you'll get about $0.10-$0.30 back. Eventually you run out of money.

How pitiful.
Y'know, for whatever reason I always expected 50%.
Can't the government just tax the lotto? I mean, it obviously has a lot of money on it's hands.

The government does tax lottery winnings in our country. I believe anything over $500 but I could be wrong about that.

So what actually HAPPENED to the economy? Like, in detail, how did it start fucking up?
inb4 the only thing I hear is "George W. Bush" because that's not, y'know, an answer.

Why don't you make a new thread for that or something?
