Again, I built in the assumption that SOME people might actually have some savings and investment (and retirement plans, like 401K or Roth IRA's) that the winnings would just ADD TO.
Assuming this was survey intended to mean quit working forever;
- Probably for $500,000.
- Perhaps for $100,000.
- Highly unlikely for $10,000. That's less than a year's wages for virtually everybody. Anyone for whom that might possibly make the difference between quitting work and not, might as well keep working for a full year's wages and use the 10 grand for lifestyle improvement.
