Oregon, where I live, has been in the news recently because the winner of the $1.3 billion jackpot purchased the ticket in Portland, and came forward shortly after to claim their prize. In these situations, most winners take the lump sum up front, which after taxes, will be will be probably in the neighborhood of $300 million. What would you do with $300 million? For pretty much everyone, it’s hard to even wrap your head around that much money. Yet, a shockingly high number of lottery winners squander their winnings and go bankrupt, so they end up worse off than before they won! It’s hard to believe, but many people also don’t look at the risks and downsides of choices they make, and don’t consider the hidden costs or upkeep of the giant property or in this case maybe an island that they might buy. So whether you win the lottery, receive an inheritance, sell a company, or cash out major profits from stock or house sale, and you're looking at 30million, 3 million, or $300,000, Ill share several principles this week on how to set yourself up to make it last. This way, in 5,10,20+ years down the road, you don't squander it. But what is the very first thing you should do when you have received or are expecting to receive a large windfall?

Warren Buffet's Most Famous Thought Experiment: The Ovarian Lottery In a 1997 Berkshire Hathaway meeting, Warren Buffet explained the Ovarian Lottery Here’s how it works: Imagine it’s 24 hours before you’re going to be born. A genie appears and says goodness do I have a deal for you. You get to create the world you will be born into. You can create the cultural rules, the social rules, the rules of the economy, everything. But because this is a genie here’s the catch. You don’t know where you’ll be born, or who you’ll be born as “You don’t know whether you’re going to be born black or white. You don’t know whether you’re going to be born male or female, you don’t know whether you’re going to be born infirm or able-bodied. You don’t know whether you’re going to be born in the United States or Afghanistan.” So the question is, what type of world do you create? You’d probably do your best to create a fair world. A world that created opportunities for everyone. A world where if you did lose the ovarian lottery your life wasn’t dramatically worse than someone who won This is how we should think about social policy. We should make policy decisions as if we didn't know whose lives we were going to live The ovarian lottery is: “The most important event in which you’ll ever participate, It’s going to determine way more than what school you go to, how hard you work, all kinds of things.” - Warren Buffet 

Today, I achieved the impossible. I found my lost pen after three whole days of searching. Day 1: Realized the pen was missing. Panic mode activated. Day 2: Searched every corner, even the fridge. No luck. Day 3: Finally found it wedged between my keyboard and monitor. Victory! The lessons learned: → Never give up: The pen was right in front of me the whole time. → Stay positive: Checked the fridge because, why not? → Celebrate small wins: Finding my pen felt like winning the lottery. Remember, if I can find my pen, you can achieve anything.
