Quoted: My wife entered us in the Publishing Clearing House sweepstakes. $7000 a week for life (or a 540,000 instant payout). Won't happen but its nice to dream. The only thing I'll win is the steady flow of emails from Clearing House asking me to buy useless crap "at a great discount". What could you do with seven grand a week? |

With 7 grand a week?
A Ferrari 458 Spyder. A cabin in Wyoming. A little place on the beach in Hawaii. But in reality I'd probably just blow the 7 grand a week buying custom 1911s, Pythons, pretty shotguns, and gobs of ammo to the point I'd have to work at McDonalds to pay for food. |

That's what I said when these emails started showing up (my wife wisely gave out my email instead of hers, clever girl).
If I knew I was about to croak, or the "big one" was coming, then maybe consider the payout. You also get to designate someone else to get the prize after you die, one of my kids would be set! Now, which one to choose? |

Seven grand a week.. how much after taxes?
If it were $7k after taxes, per week, for life... that's not too bad. I could live comfortably off of that. |

Start a nice empire of storage units, modernize my dad's sawmill equipment for him, and build one super nice house on a lake in NW Michigan for my summer/fall. Winter I'd live in Colorado and Utah skiing.

While you could do that, that could be a bit much for that level of income. $360 grand a year is about what a slightly above average specialist doctor makes. A fine living but when you start buying expensive cars and multiple homes, you can get in over your head fast. |

not much you can't do with $364k - taxes a year.
