And I'm sure it's very stressful to win the lottery too. Should you get a cab or drive to pick up your winnings? There's a lot of stress with promotions too. For instance, the increase in wages. Should I pay my credit cards off or spend the money on new work clothes, money market or take a chance on Wall St. The stress of what to do with money is really horrible. I would personally like a little horror like that right now.
