Now my question is, As a business or as a career person who is also into gambling/betting, would you quit your current business or career if you won the same amount of money from gambling/betting?
Be sincere and state your reasons for your decision..
140k would without a doubt help me but it would not be enough money for me to retire or to stop working, after all even if 140k is a lot of money when you think about it not many people will be able to retire with that sum unless they invested that money or created a business with it, and when I think about the possibility of a hyperinflation coming during the next decade then most likely anyone that retires thinking they will never have to work will be forced to get back to it as the purchasing power of that money could evaporate really quickly.
