And also in a gated wealthy community you would get to enjoy the many fun amenities that a gated wealthy community has rather than the scarce resources that a small rural town like Lost Springs, Wyoming would have. Life in a small rural town like Lost Springs, Wyoming wouldn't be all that much fun to be honest. You wouldn't be getting hassled for money in a small rural town like Lost Springs, Wyoming, but life wouldn't be all that enjoyable. Moving to a gated wealthy community in Beverly Hills would mean you wouldn't be getting hassled for money and you would get to enjoy life. So moving to a gated wealthy community in Beverly Hills is much better than moving to a small rural town in Lost Springs Wyoming, lol. I have to edit that I am biased as I live in the very hustling and bustling Miami that has a lot of fun amenities and to me personally life in a very rural small town like Lost Springs Wyoming would come across as boring to me IMHO. Someone who actually lives in say Lost Springs Wyoming would most likely find the busy life of Miami to not be okay for them and prefer the quiet life of say Lost Springs Wyoming.

have you ever watched the shows yellowstone or outer range? aside from the fictional plots, the premise of mega rich families out in the boonies is realistic.

Im thinking Big Bend country like Terlingua.

But also perhaps Pagosa Springs CO, where the kids and I spread scattered my wifes ashes.

Beautiful up there.

Maybe....both!

You said "Lost Springs Wyoming" eight (8) times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ok, how about we now try Jackson Hole, Wyoming??

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

Very true indeed. Gates provide a false sense of security. I live in a gated community and all those gates do is keep out people that mean no harm and solicitors. The bad guys cant be stopped getting in the community even with the gates closed. There is no security guard in the guard house at the gates either. The HOA says it's too expensive to hire security guards and won't pay for them.

The worst felony gates help to reduce is burglary. National studies of gated community's show gates reduce burglaries by just 20%. Ask any Realtor. They know what I wrote is true. G5

Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

Thank you for the heads up on the gated community.

In my jackpot winning plan notes, I had noted that I would move to a gated community.

Looks like those plans are about to change 😁

Orrrrr, you just start your own gated community of 1 resident, on a 500-1000 acre plot of land....Options of having neighbors are on your terms.

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

I believe there are pros and cons to everything, including living on a 500 acre piece of land away from everyone.

I see that all the time on the House Hunters Show. The husband wants to live away from everyone. The wife wants a community where the kids can play with the neighbors kids.

A place where friends can come visit etc.

It's always interesting to watch.

People and preferences always change, what looks appealing now, ceases to be after some years and the opposite is true.

With a jackpot win, one can try it all and maybe one day, they shall find what they are looking for.

Here is Darby Montana, home of the Yellowstone/Dutton Ranch, which is a real ranch and has cabins for rent.

Watching the show I always thought the view from the front porch of the main house was amazing. To be able to go outside and see that every day would be incredible.

When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend? Good Luck!!!

I had tried to edit my previous post by saying something like,"This entire post is written IMHO but other people might have different opinions." I was roughly two minutes outside of the edit window and was told I couldn't make any further changes to my post. Darn it.

hello=Hello, I would like to visit the USA and Europe, spending a month in each place, visiting beaches, cities, mountains, taking lots of photos and videos, in an 8x8 Tatra, powered by solar energy, etc... but I would replace the tires with tractor collars because of the waterlogged terrain, maybe Australia.
