Before we bought our new apartment, I thought little about somewhat unexpected money. I just listened to the stories about those people who won the big lottery. I might envy their luck, but it's none of my business .
When we started to pay off the loan of our house, I desired strongly to win the lottery. I knew it's beyond the mystery, but It's the only way for me to get some unexpected money.
I even studied the lottery curve graph , wished to enlarge the opportunity of gaining the prize. Though I could guess I would never win the biggest lottery, I still bought every lottery ticket happily and hopefully. Of couse I won some prizes, the largest amount of the money was ten yuan.
Every lottery ticket carried my dreams and hopes. I already had the plan for the prize. If I got the top prize,I would divide it into three parts. Firstly, I would pay off all the loan, then I could spend my salary generously. I didn't have to worry about too much. Secondly, I'd save some money as educational fund for my son. And thirdly, I'd travel around our country and the world with the rest of the money.
I can't tell which is better when people unexpectedly received a large amount of money, they should spend it on practical things or spend it only for pleasure. Everybody has his own necessity. I think a person needs to deal with his basic supplement well, then he will be able to think about something for pleasure.
But don't believe that you can get some unexpected money. No pain no gain. We must do what we should do well. Then we may realize our dream one day. When you work hard, you can feel it within a short distance.
