475: Learn why Mark Cuban's advice to put all of your winnings in the bank is the wrong move and what you should do. This is Part 3 of my Lottery series of podcasts. Part 2 received HUGE downloads, so thank you! The article is here: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/24/mark-cuban-to-lottery-winners-dont-invest-the-money.html?recirc=taboolainternal I disagree with putting it all in the bank, because FDIC coverage is limited to $250,000 per bank, per depositor. The bank does not always have a broad selection of investment options. There's so much that doesn't make sense in this article, I suggest you listen to it to hear all of my concerns! If you want to know what I think you should do with a large amount of sudden wealth, go to podcast #429, "7 Ways to Maintain Your Sudden Wealth" and #75, an earlier podcast I did about sudden wealth. You'll have to go to my website for #75, at http://lindapjones.com. Wealth requires knowledge + action.

Learn how much you really net after taxes, why the lottery is overrated, and how you can create your own abundance and prosperity. There was one lucky winner of the $1.5 billion lottery jackpot. How much will the check really be for, after state and federal taxes? This is part 2 of my lottery podcasts. If you haven't listened to podcast #473, I suggest you listen to it too. The article is here: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/24/biggest-us-mega-millions-and-powerball-lottery-prizes-ever.html Why do most lottery winners go broke within 5 years? Are huge mansions and diamonds the size of ice cubes going to make you happy or happier? How can you use the lottery jackpot to inspire your own personal wealth plan to financial freedom?

Learn why winning the lottery jackpot isn't necessary for you to have financial freedom or be happy. There is a happiness satiation point, usually around a $105,000 annual income, according to research (see podcast #414). More money doesn't make you happier, but spending does give you a temporary high. The endorphins only last a few days, requiring you to continue spending to keep the endorphins flowing. This can end badly and has for many lottery winners. Instead, take control of your wealth building and follow the 6 Steps to Wealth, especially saving a nestegg, investing in a money engine and compounding at a high rate. I give an example from the Wealth Heiress book of 2 people earning the same amount of money, but because they make different choices, one ends up broke, the other, a millionaire.

Learn how other people's money (OPM) and the smart use of debt can build your wealth. Not all debt is inherently bad! Why is mortgage debt triggering people? Mortgage rates are only 5% for 30 years and are partially tax-deductible. Credit cards with high interest rates are the real culprit! Don't use debt for depreciating assets. Mortgages can be great forced savings plans because the debt will become equity. In this podcast I help you think through why you may want to set up a retirement plan before paying off your mortgage.
