When You Hit It Big
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008Last post I mentioned somehow getting rich, becoming a millionaire overnight. I once saw a special on lottery winners. Actually, I've probably seen 2 or 3. But one lingers in recent memory because the purchases the guy made just seemed ludicrous.
I can definitely understand the logic. "I have this money now, and I want that thing, so I'm going to get it." But some of his newfound assets didn't seem to serve any greater functional purpose than a far more inexpensive alternative. Like, he got a car and it had some special wood engravings and it was rare, vintage or whatever. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, it cost. What's the point?
One thing I almost understood was his home theater system. Almost. I mean, I love movies. But you don't need an electric curtain in front of a viewing screen in order to enjoy them! He did have some pretty ample seating in that room. I was like mega-sized armchairs. Awesome.
Recently I visited BostonTables.com, and my mouth dropped because on the home page they have some huge Home Theater Seating products that reminded me of the lottery guy. It looks like if you have tastes similar to his, but a budget a bit more regular, then BostonTables.com might have what you're looking for.
