$42M lottery winner plans to become a pecan farmerPrevious TopicNext Topic

Where on earth have YOU been for the last 5 to 10 years? You need to wake up and start following the daily front-page headlines and lead news stories that have been shouting about the "housing bubble" and "mortgage crises" plaguing economies all around the world within the past few weeks and, in connection, destroying the life savings of those "not really investment-savvy" Americans who weren't even involved in real estate.

Clearly there were more than enough Americans, I'd say too many, who saw real estate as "THE" place to invest their money in recent years. Even people without money foolishly saw real estate as the pyramid scheme that it was to hopefully make a fortune due to loose credit standards and the herd mentality.

Why are you even on a Lottery message board giving real estate investment advice? Do you have a tanked property you're hoping to dump off on the next sucker to come along? I'm surprised you weren't dispensing more worthless comments that real estate is a great investment "opportunity" because property prices always go up in value like many so-called real estate "gurus" (i.e. modern day snake oil salesmen) have been brainwashing the gullible to believe over the years.

You didn't mention what part of your divided culture you come from. If you are from South Korea I'll gladly point out that your economy was ranked only 13th in the world last year among industrialized nations. South Korea isn't even a part of the G-7. I would also happily highlight that many rich Koreans made their wealth through corruption: http://www.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUSSP25001420070205

Of course if you hail from North Korea you really should keep your views to yourself. This wouldn't be a problem for you since you would be used to doing this anyway.

Thanks for reading!

Congrats to this nice family!

I love the idea to farm, especially pecans. I had a pecan tree in my yard during college. It was great. An orchard has been on my list of things to occupy myself after winning the jackpot.  Pecans, peaches, blackberries.

Giving thanks at church but bought the ticket at the liquor store.

I was an English teacher in Korea for three years and I think you're full of yourself.

1.  You base your generalization of Koreans and rich Koreans from an article where they explain the scandals from a couple of richbusinessmen.  Many rich businessmen around the world are the same way.

2.  Korea is very small country with only 48,000,000 people; their economy and technology is extremely well when you realize how small they are. 

3.  There are no North Koreans in the USA.  North Koreans rarely have any contact outside their country.  If there are North Koreans inthe USA, then they would be labeled as Chinese because they probably escaped North Korea, then into China.

4. You are ignorant.   I am Caucasian and the Koreans were one ofthe nicest people I have ever met in my life.  Their country is extremely modernized and clean.   Their technology and industrial power is amazing.

 I don't expect that much intelligence from some of the posters here, for obvious reason. Not many well-educated people play lotteries, let alone posting in here.

Aren't you the same guy who has been whining for two years that your dream numbers haven't come out and have contemplated suicide over it? Yet you have the nerve to put down other posters here.

Scary, when are you gonna give us an update on the kitties?
