Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!What if you won Rs. 1 arab? One billion rupees — about $3.6 million — and one fantasy day to spend it in Pakistan. Aahil and Huda buy the house, the car, and then find out why most big winners go broke. In this episode of Aahil OP, host Aahil and co-host Huda spend an imaginary Rs. 1,000,000,000 hour by hour: a good family house in Lahore or Karachi for roughly Rs. 7 crore, a Fortuner for about Rs. 1.9 crore, money for family, a real business, and charity. And here is the honest part up front: there is no national lottery in Pakistan with a Rs. 1 arab prize — this is a fantasy, and the lessons are real. Then the twist: prize money is taxed, the relatives arrive, lifestyle creep kicks in, and the monthly bills of a rich life never stop. Researchers have found many big lottery winners end up worse off within a few years. The winners who stay rich do boring things — thirty days of doing nothing, a good accountant and lawyer, and splitting the money into buckets. At the end, Aahil and Huda say what they would actually buy first. What would you buy first with Rs. 1 arab? Tell us your first five purchases, and we will read the best lists in the next episode. Host: Aahil | Co-host: Huda | Aahil OP — clickbait ideas, tested with real prices.
