I disagree with your position and you consider it outmoded intransigence, prompting your strict literal interpretation of modern weaponry available in 1791 when the 2nd Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights was ratified.

I used to work with a cheapskate who always said if he won the lottery he would get his 10-15 year old car painted and buy a new couch.

I always reminded him that it was highly unlikely he'd ever win since he was too cheap to ever buy a ticket.

He always told me to quit bummin' him out.

To which I always responded: Like wow dude, far out.

This guy inherited a coin thought as worthless.

Through investigation he found that it was indeed worth between $6-$10 mil.

So what is he doing? Sitting on the coin, thinking of what he COULD do with the money.

Maybe he could get his house fixed, maybe he could get his car fixed.

Ummm, sell the stupid coin, buy a new house, buy a new car.... Duh!

encroach - 1. to advance beyond proper limits; make gradual inroads 2. to trespass upon the property, domain or rights of another, esp. stealthily or by gradual advances

If a ticket in the pool wins, of course I'll be going in to work. I'll have to split it with 13 people so whether or not we have enough to retire on all depends on how big the jackpot is.

I think quitting your job so fast even with a 2 week notice will raise suspicion. Especially if your boss knows how much you have in your 401k or are close to your co workers and or boss. And if you let your friends and family know that you quit they will also question you. Unless you actually can afford to retire you should probably keep working or work part time. Maybe start your own busniess and say you got another job lined up. And the business can be whatever you want it to be.
