Lottery tickets-is this the path to being a Millionaire Nurse? Is a lottery ticket a good way to get ahead. I know people who buy every week, with the hopes of being able to get away from what they feel is a hopeless life, a job they hate-only if they could get lucky today then things will be better.
The vast majority of lottery winners go through their winnings within a few years and are back where they started. Seth Godin, the world-famous marketer mentions lottery buying in this post.
What do Millionaire Nurses do when they feel the need to buy a lottery ticket. It is a sign of frustration with their finances. Go back to basics. Look over your 5 year financial and personal goals. If you don’t have these, then set aside a few hours and develop them with your partner if you have one.
Make sure you know where you are in your current financial world-net worth, planned spending, and retirement savings.
And if you don’t know how to do these thing, sign up for my free e-book at www.themillionairenurse.com and let me know and I will reserve you a signed copy of my book, “The Millionaire Nurse”.
Then go give that buck or ten to a homeless person, put in into the Salvation Army kettles that are available now, or just add it to your savings.
You will feel better.
You are absolutely right…when you lose financial hope, you buy a lottery ticket. I happen to belong to two different lottery “pools”…radiology and maintenance. Apparently, I ain’t the only one that thinks a lottery ticket is my only hope….
