"If you are fortunate enough to land on a windfall of money, the best thing to do is nothing for three months. Keep living your life as if you received nothing new. It may be hard at first, but doing nothing is a must to eliminate the initial excitement that tends to overwhelm one's senses. We tend to make suboptimal decisions when excited," Sam, the author of 'Buy This, Not That,' explained to Bored Panda.

We have to resist the temptation to impulsively spend our newfound wealth.

"After three months have passed, it's important to find a way to convert your easy money into real assets. Real assets like real estate tend to hold their value the best while also providing income and utility," the founder of 'Financial Samurai' said. "Those who converted their lottery winnings, cryptocurrency winnings, and stock winnings into real assets like real estate tend to stay wealthy longer than those who do not."

30 Times People Made Money So Easily, They Just Had To Share The Stories Online Got a Nanny job at a really nice Private Golf Club Baby sat for this family in the past really nice family liked them alot went over at the house at 6 pm Kids Were instructed by parents to go to bed by 7 PM (About 4 Kids). The Parents with friends went out to dinner and to a bar (i'm assuming). Kids were really well behaved, they all went to bed at 7 PM and i just watched TV until parents came back. Parents didn't come back until 2 AM but they drunkenly paid me over 1000 dollars for "babysitting" the kids. tried to refuse that much for only 8 hours and they insisted. Contacted them the next day and told them how much they paid me and i couldn't accept it all of it that it was too much. they said no keep it its all yours! but then a few minutes later they texted me and they said okay just come next weekend and baby sit if you can and it will make up for the difference of what we paid. I said okay and went there the following weekend and they said just say here watch for a few minutes ill be right back the guy comes back and says " thanks for watching the kids for 20 Minutes Were going to head out for the rest of the year we will let you know if we need a nanny when we come back" I laughed and said okay have fun headed out to my car. There was an envelope on my car windshield sat in my car and opened the envelope and there was a letter that said "This is for babysitting and being honest with us when we were under the influence please let this money help you in any way that it can" and gifted me 5000 additional dollars so 6000 all together Cried in my car and left

Bored Panda wanted to learn more about building generational wealth through solid investments. Here's what Sam told us: "Besides investing in your education, like reading bestselling personal finance books, for the average person, the best long-term investments are stocks and real estate."

He shared some details about investing in stocks and real estate. No investment is without downsides.

"Stocks have historically returned 10% a year since 1926. There are no fees to own stocks and the investment is 100% passive. The downside to owning stocks is the volatility and lack of utility," he said.

"Real estate offers security, utility, and long-term growth about 1-2% above the rate of inflation. Investing in rental properties takes real estate investing to the next level. Rental property investors benefit from increased rents and property prices over time, which is one of the easiest ways to build generational wealth. The downside to owning rentals is the hassle of dealing with tenants and maintenance issues," Sam, the author of 'Buy This, Not That,' told Bored Panda.

"Therefore, more and more real estate investors are leaning towards private real estate investing, which is 100% passive. Private real estate investors get the income and stability of real estate without having to deal with any of the hassles."

He also shared a bit about his own investments. "Personally, I've invested $810,000 in private real estate platforms like Fundrise to diversify my expensive coastal real estate holdings and invest more surgically in the heartland of America. I believe there is a multi-decade demographic trend of relocating to lower-cost areas of the country. Work-from-home and the pandemic has only accelerated this trend."

It’s nice to have a dash of good luck on your side from time to time. And though financial stability is essential, suddenly having a huge amount of cash to worry about can be an utter nightmare. Bored Panda recently wrote about just how bad things can get for lottery winners.

Especially if they can’t keep their newfound wealth a secret. And, let’s face it, it’s hard to resist the temptation to boast about how lucky you were! Unfortunately, people can get jealous very easily.

You might soon find your nearest and dearest accosting you to get them expensive items and pay for their holidays. Meanwhile, your acquaintances might ask you for help because they’re down on their luck.

In short, the people in your life will start to calculate how much you can spend on them. Some might start resenting you if you don’t spread the wealth around a bit.

First time I went to visit my wife's Venezuelan family in the 90s I bought $50 worth of scratch-off California lottery tickets to give out. They all had a top prize of (I think) $1,000,000 and I promised them if they won I'd send them the money. The few winners were got $2, $5, and I think one was $50. It was a big hit and in the few seconds between them receiving the ticket and learning the results they were imaginary millionaires and I was very popular.

One way to get them off your back is to tell them that you’ve set aside your money for charity. After you’ve given to the causes you care about, you can then consider what they’re asking of you.

However, if you’ve had a stroke of good luck and won the lottery, you might want to consider making your loved ones’ lives more financially stable. Either that or practice stealth wealth and live a semi-modest middle-class lifestyle without flaunting your riches.

Though money makes life easier, it’ll never buy you love or loyalty. Earning more than $100,000 a year doesn’t significantly increase your happiness either.

I was a divorced single parent and to buy Christmas presents or just make ends meet I worked the Elections. Easily make $900 to $1200 depending on your position just sitting at a table checking people in. The higher salary trouble shoots those who are missing from the voter rolls to see if they are qualified to vote and does the paperwork at the end of the day. Basic secretarial stuff. For 2 weeks of early voting. More if you work Election Day too. They train you. Varies by county and state. 16 year olds and up. High school students can earn community service hours to pad their college resume. Great for college students. Supplemented my regular salary nicely. They hire at the elections office too processing the equipment and ballots.

I found a collectable purse selling on Craigslist for $50 USD. It was worth $300. Bought it at $50, sold it to a collector for $300, bought a different purse worth $300. That purse is now worth $700.
