You sum up my feelings exactly. I consider myself a very sensible, conservative person and I think that's why I'm in a constant battle with myself! Haha.,.....logic tells me there's no way I can invest $2,000 and walk with $5 MILLION. It's ludicrous. It goes against everything we've ever been taught or even seen actually happen. But then I do believe that this truly is one of those once in a lifetime opportunities that materialized out of unique circumstances. I don't feel I'm being suckered at all. My impatience over this is all about the 'when' and 'how much', not the 'WILL it happen'.
It's unimaginable that a week from now I could be out house hunting, car shopping, meeting with tax attorney's, financial advisors, etc. It's insane to think about it. But bring it on. So many people in my life are going to benefit from my good fortune. This will be far more reaching than what's in MY bank account. Just RV so I can get the ball rolling!
