Quitting work and making plans

1:16

um

1:16

i would stop

1:18

stop i would just i wouldn't do anything

1:20

oh like in the moment i would just stop

1:23

and then

1:24

you know you always say i'm going to

1:25

give up my job i'm going to travel the

1:27

world i think i would just pause and

1:30

then wait

1:31

and then

1:32

you know month two months time

1:35

think what i'm going to do

1:37

so tell me uh what would you do if you

1:39

just found out you won the lottery

1:42

i think i'd probably panic

1:44

um

1:45

i have a friend who once walked into a

1:48

shop where they were selling lottery

1:49

tickets

1:50

and he shouted out to everybody it's a

1:53

tax on the stupid

1:55

uh and his view was that essentially

1:57

your statistical chances of winning the

1:59

lottery are so small

2:01

it's a way just of getting money from

2:03

people who have no understanding of

2:04

statistics

2:07

and i think the problem about the

2:08

lottery sometimes is that everyone

2:10

aspires to

2:12

having lots of money overnight

2:14

and

2:15

i think the problem is a lot of people

2:17

just would find the psychological

2:18

adjustment having so much money

2:21

really quite difficult and traumatic and

2:23

i think there's quite a lot of evidence

2:24

that

2:25

people who win the lottery

2:27

really do panic um and it causes such a

2:29

massive change their lifestyle they just

2:31

can't adjust
