I don't get the hate. They're very nice planes. Just wish I could afford to buy one.

Someone has to be that guy, so here we go.
"Did you pull"
If I ever win the lottery, I’m calling a Cirrus dealer for a new SR22. Then I’ll let my wife know!
Damn you!!! I was 43 minutes late apparently.Someone has to be that guy, so here we go.

If I win the lottery, I'll hire someone to fly me around....
Did you see that the most recent mega millions winner was a 20 year old. His lump sum payout is $281 million. Can you imagine being that young and having that much money? Crazy.
Sounds like it. If I could afford one I would buy it. A pilot acquaintance just bought one or is in the process. I haven't even seen it yet and my eyes are green already...Could be a touch of jealousy.

Before I even opened the thread I thought to myself, no way someone hasn't beat me to it already

Surprisingly they really weren’t that comfortable. Not medieval torture device by any stretch of the imagination, but did provide some discomfort to my back.I've heard the seats are wicked uncomfortable.

I cannot imagine. But I hope he becomes smart and does not try to manage that large sum by himself.
Hopefully he's stupid and reckless with the money (and says yes when people like me ask him to buy us a new Cirrus).

At least I’m getting paid!Fearless has joined the dark side.
Hope he manages it by himself. The payout for a 280mil win is maybe 100mil after taxes. If he puts it in a savings account he is still set for life. Where lottery winners and sports stars get in trouble is from all the hangers-on who start to leech off them and push them into 'investments' and tax dodges. Oh, and spending like a billionaire of course, eg on 'someone who flies them around'.

But that's not limited to young people either. I had a neighbor who inherited 15mil including a 100 acre estate on the Potomac but in the end wasn't able to pay her electrical bill. NYC attorneys and financial advisors will bleed you dry in a few short decades.
He won $480 mil. The $280 is the lump su payout . . . Good for him.
Put $50 mil each in five places (different banks and investment houses) and enjoy blowing the other 30 . . . . . Houses, cars, planes, boats, travel, family . . . .
FTFYAt least I’m getting laid!
Even at the most conservative investment strategy, 200mil will pay you an annual post tax income that allows you to live and give like nobody else. No need to blow anything.

It was a 451mil jackpot. But that's if you take it as a 29 year annuity with a progressively increasing annual payout. If you choose the lump-sum its $281mil. Off that, the feds take a 25% withholding so no matter what the comically large check shows, his take-home this week was around $211million. Now he is very lucky as his payout is in year 1 after the great trumpist tax reform so he only owes the feds another 10% ($21mil) come april 15th 2019. He is also lucky that he is a resident of the great state of Florida so he doesn't have to give up another 2-10% on state taxes.

Yep, that's how we keep the great unwashed masses well behaved:I found this quote from the young winner to be hilarious.
“If there is one thing I have learned thus far in my short time on this earth it is that those who maintain a positive mind-set and stay true to themselves get rewarded”
Does he really think he received a reward for the way he is and that he didn't just get very lucky in a game of chance with extreme odds? Wow!
