My, Aren't We All Just So Responsible
Quickie post today. It's a writing day and I want to get back to my story.
Got a new survey in from Gallup Polls that shows what people would do if they suddenly got either $1 million or $100 million dollars. Turns out, most of us would use the money for paying off bills, helping out family members, or giving to charity. Lower on the list was frivolous stuff like buying luxury items or taking trips. A few people actually thought about paying the taxes on the sudden gift, but I think this almost goes without saying. Uncle Sam always gets his cut.
