How much $ would it take for you ti Quit your Job - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WB72 · 05-28-2002, 04:57 PM

Well, How much money would you have to win before you Quit your job?

$ 0.02

Big69C20 Toy · 05-28-2002, 05:01 PM

I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 5 mil after taxes. That way i have couple mil for a house another mil for toys (cars trucks) and i'd invest the other 2 mil so i could make it grow. ahh the dream.....

jay-dawg · 05-28-2002, 05:34 PM

one meeelion dollars. lol.

I'd say that would be enough, but I hate my job and would quit for $100,000 and get another job, but job skill wise would be hard to do.....wait, what was the question? lol

Chevyc10! · 05-28-2002, 05:41 PM

Let me alone in a room with a few terrorists, thats what I would take!

BADA$$69 · 05-28-2002, 05:45 PM

1 Mill

Patrick Sullivan · 05-28-2002, 05:58 PM

Well, I pump gas.. gimme $100 and I'm outta there.

68ChevC10 · 05-28-2002, 06:23 PM

I like the 5mil post-tax figure. Cause the house has gotta have a four-car garage with at least 1 four-point hydrualic lift. Then there's money for frame-off restorations, the hot tub, wide-screen plasma tv, beer taps in the garage, by the hot tub, by the Barco-Lounger in front of the plasma tv...

Invest the remainder? What remainder?

wnc mountain · 05-28-2002, 06:34 PM

Thinking something like a billion dollars would keep me from working again at all. I am a banker and figured it up. But would take a 100k and find another job, maybe 50, or if someone will give me another job, FREE!!!!! Get me outa here please. Was that too much?

70cst10 · 05-28-2002, 06:36 PM

The real question is how much would it take to NOT quit my job! (I'm leaving for the naval basic training in 2 months)

chevyhouse · 05-28-2002, 06:41 PM

i am walking away from the navy next week, leaving a 35k signing bonus and some killer orders to teach tech school, i finally made the decision 2 days before i was due to reenlist for a number of reasons and even though i haven't secured a job yet I am completly comfortable with my choice. it would have helped to win some money but most of the time thats not what these things are about.

Longhorn Man · 05-28-2002, 07:31 PM

I'm still makin very little cash moving rich people's furniture. Give me 500 bucks and a news paper and I'll tell the boss to shove it.

**Desert Rat** · 05-28-2002, 07:45 PM

Give me 1 MILL clear,ill stay in this house fix it up,buy the lot next door for a shop,put the rest in the bank and live off the intrest,wisely.

bigjimzlll · 05-28-2002, 07:58 PM

$5.27 and a pack of cigs

lux hauler · 05-28-2002, 08:03 PM

I might be asking alot but I need 10 mil.....clear. I wanna be able to take care of myself and help some family and friends out too.
Friends of mine won 8 mil in the Ohio lottery. They get $210,000 a year for 26 years. I guess I could pinch pennies to get by on that if I had to.....lol:p

**68SWB4x4** · 05-28-2002, 08:33 PM

moving to general discussion

Project1970 · 05-28-2002, 09:09 PM

$400, an aluminum baseball bat, a 20lb sledge, and an hour alone in the booth with the projectors.

I work at a ghetto movie theater. I want to destroy those crap machines each and every day.

Shorty Cox · 05-28-2002, 10:01 PM

not much,,,,a job is only a job. I was looking for one when i found the one i got.

Pawnbroker · 05-28-2002, 10:30 PM

I think a Million would do it. I could just hang out..get my truck painted..go somewhere..yeah.

Quiet_Girl · 05-31-2002, 09:59 AM

I just quit my job a few days ago..

should've asked for the 7 million sooner... :p

dubie · 05-31-2002, 10:05 AM

I would quit after getting $100,000. that would get me free and clear and still have $30,000 for play money. Then I would go back to working at the auto ranch, and would be happy doing it.

nosurf · 05-31-2002, 11:43 AM

I don't think I would quit my job. It's not that I like it. I need to work for 2 more years and then I can take the Professional Engineers test and get my PE license. After that I can write my own ticket if I want. 7 million would be nice though....

Why don't they give 36 people 1 million instead of 1 person 36 million? Wouldn't that be better?
