Would you rather earn or win?

Well who wouldn't want to earn money. But I do like to earn my money by working hard. Right now everyone is in a tough financial spot and I'll be glad to at least win some money. But i'll rather earn it because then I'll know that I have to think clearly about what I am going to spend it on so that I am able to pay all the things that I need to pay. I know that I wouldn't want to waste all that money that I earned with hard work on things that I don't need.

As long as I could spend it. I really wouldn't care were it came from. I would actually rather win it, that way it's just extra bonus money! For sure thats way better. I would also get my kicks from spending it on the community, and trying to fix up the world how I want it, not from earning the money..

I know I will not win money because I don't enter lotteries or do anything that involves spending money in the hope of winning. I would rather earn money for my own efforts and I can feel proud of any money I make this way. I don't know how to make money fast and I don't make enough money for myself yet, but I am prepared to go on earning money slowly, so I can build up a good income from my different activities.

If I NEED it or WANT it, I still don't care, but one thing I find is, that when I earn it, I have more respect for it and budget it. When I win it, it's like found money and I am not so careful. When my son was killed by a drunk driver, we wanted to shut down the bar that let his friend (the driver), my son and another friend, walk out so drunk that no one should drive (they never cut them off). We sued, mostly to close the bar, which we did (and they can never own a business again), but we also won a few hundred thousand dollars. We paid off our bills, mortgages, do repairs on the house, gave money to family who needed it, set aside a large chunk for our daughter, granddaughter and then put money aside for our retirement. The rest we decided was to just spend how we wanted it. It's amazing how easy it was to just spend, spend, spend, spend. Not that we bought stupid things with it, but we went out more, traveled more, etc. If we had earned the same amount, I can assure you, we would have been more "stingy" with letting it go. I always said, "If I won the lottery, my life would change little" but after this experience, I doubt it, and THAT'S OKAY! So, would I rather earn it or win it? Well, it would depend on HOW I won it. The way we won it, I would rather be broke.

I would definitely like to win it. I am going to be taxed on it anyway, so there really is no greater gain with whether I earn or win the same amount of money. At least, I have not been told differently. As far as what I would do with it, I do not know. Depending on the amount of money, I would put stuff back into a bank account, or into several bank accounts.

It would not really matter to me either. Although winning it would be a lot less of a hassle. That would be easy.

Hi, I would rather win a lot of money, maybe $1 Million. I think it would be very hard to earn $1 million. I don't know any other way to make a lot of money, I only know that I need to work very hard to make money and that is not an enjoyable life. I wish I could win big lottery prize and live freely ever after, no working, no bosses and only enjoy my life. If I win a lot of money, then I can use the money to start my business and invest in real estate. Once my business grow, I will be able to make even more money. Once my real estate start getting rental fees, I would not need to work anymore.

I would rather win the money since it is probably the highest payout and most easiest options. But earning it, the honest way. That is kind of boring and not was entertaining as winning it.

i think there is pride in earning it yourself. i would be glad to win some tho.lol

I don't care how i get them, i have what to do with them no matter how many. There's a saying - if you have money, you can make more money (of course, some wisdom is needed). I would also help my family, travel a lot, put some funds in banks for rainy days, make some charity and much more.

If I earn a lot of money by doing work then I spend that money varefully, if you would earn money by lottery winner I will spend that money with poor people who really need for their lifes.

you have earn most of the things in life and hope you win some things.
