So, that's at least $174,000 every day for the foreseeable future, your child, and your family. Here's her response: I don't want to shop for a new house. I like this one. I have friends here. I don't want to trade them for new ones. I'm so glad your dream came true, but being rich isn't my dream."
"For starters, there's no reason to break up with him immediately. He hasn't even talked about houses or moving or anything yet. You could stay in this house and just pocket all the cash, no problem. Her trauma is justifiedthat she lost her husband to this job and Cooper should know he can't leave her hanging when she callsbut that's a whole separate issue. I have never heard of someone turning down a relationship with this kind of money when you also love the person."
