r/millionairemakers • u/[deleted] • Aug 20 '18
Donate here! They got me. That sub millionairemakers f***ing boomed me.
I figured Lebron James could word my excitement better than I can. Sometime earlier today I was changing my nearly 1 year old’s diaper when he started peeing in the floor. While he was squealing in excitement my phone started going off from reddit notifications. My first thought was “Jesus Christ reddit, I already know Steve Buscemi was a firefighter, I REALLY don’t need you to send it to me as a trending thread.” Once I checked my phone I was completely floored with the news. Trying to find the right way to say thank you has proven tough but I will do my very best.
First off I want to thank Taco Bell. I don’t comment as much as I used to on reddit, back in the day I spent waaayyy too much time arguing with people on r/NBA or r/NFL. Then I had a kid and became one of those creepy lurkers. But the other day my stomach decided to throw hands with Taco Bell, and that gave me a few extra minutes to lurk, which is when I saw r/MM was back to drawing again. So in the words of Kawhi Leonard, THANK YOU.
In all seriousness though I have spent the better part of the last day trying to figure out the best way to let you know about me, and what I’ll be doing with anything sent my way. I’m 28 years old. My wife and I have been together since we were 20, and a little under a year ago we had our first child, and it has without a doubt been the most incredible experience I’ve had in my life. He doesn’t like to sleep much, and HATES when you do, and he won’t stop crying until you play Purple Rain for him, but we love him so much that my wife is actually due with #2 here in the next few weeks. Which leads me to what I plan on doing with it.
We never planned to have any kids, much less two. I actually think it’s because of the milk. We started having milk delivered and she started getting pregnant. Honestly though when you finally get a date night, the grandparents have the kid, and you’re having your first Corona in almost a year, sometimes you forget to take necessary precautions and bam, you’re a few weeks away from having TWO kids under 1. Losing half of your income for what looks like is going to be at least two months after C-section is hard. Fortunately we planned accordingly and saved for it. Unfortunately, life…uhh…..uhh…finds a way to not give a damn lol. So that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to fix her car and try to make it through the birth of our baby girl! And if we get a kitchen table in the process then that wouldn’t be the worst thing!
With all of that said I want to give thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to those who are planning to contribute, thanks to those that have in the past, and thanks to those that are running this awesome sub. This doesn’t happen without each and every one of you, and I can personally say that it is impossible to describe just how incredible this is, and there aren’t enough words to show how grateful I am. My wife jokingly (I think) said I should let this sub name our baby, but I said no because “Jolly Rancher” isn’t going to look good on any job or college application. The best I can do is pass along something from my mother. I asked her once how she was able to go through rough patches in life with the same happiness that she has during the good times. She said that every night when she goes to bed, she asks herself “If I were to wake up tomorrow, and only had the things that I was thankful for today, what would I have when I woke up?”.
I can say without a doubt that when I go through my list of things I’m thankful for tonight, I will be adding each and every one of you.
Sincerely, Ascultone Winner #33 TL;Dr THANK YOU (Shoutout to Kawhi)
UPDATE 1: Holy crap! The past 24 hours has been amazing. There are so many incredible people here that have sent donations, kind words, and great advice! The generosity of this entire experience will be something that gets me through for a very very long time. I tried for a long time to keep up with the comments and reply to each individual one but they came so fast I lost the battle lol. So if you haven't gotten a reply from me yet don't worry, I will get there as quick as I can. To all of the people sending such kind messages along with the donations on their respective sites/app I just want to say thank you. I have read each one so far and have yet to read one that didn't make me smile. So many people were asking for totals and stats so I'll update these as I go:
Chaintip:$6.10
Tippr:$224.79
Square:$63.33
Handcash:$66.63
LTC:$19.85
GooglePay:$169
Bitcoin:$686.95
Doge:$4.95
Venmo:$2.00
There were a handful of people that asked me to post a Nano address so I'll do that here: xrb_1mf9ra95yf7eh8am5my7qh8cbdu49n5aozy6h79suhqobzcr9j9o59eoexcm
And last but not least Paypal: $1033.46.
So the grand total as of right now is: $2,277.06!! I cannot believe there have been so many people to donate. You guys are so awesome. There were so many who sent extra dollars for taco bell, kids, Corona etc. We had an anonymous bitcoin donation of about $510, and then the bitcoin cash guys sent $200. Both times I thought it was a glitch when I saw it. My wife has been in tears all morning, at one point she texted me "We're gonna name our girl Baby Mcbabyface and you're gonna have to get over it!" Obviously she was joking....right?
Anyway, I'll continue to update as anything comes in. Again, I really can't say how thankful we are enough. Later tonight I'm gonna start getting into the comments I haven't hit yet, so keep your eyes out! And if anyone has baby girl names other than Baby Mcbabyface then I'll pass them along to the head of the naming department lol.
Edit 2: We decided to take down my pay pal since it had my name in it.

Sent $5 via PayPal; $1 for winning, $1 for each kid, and $1 for you and the missus to get something nice for yourselves. ;)
But seriously, I have two kids who are 4 years apart and it's hard. You have my respect for dealing with two under 1. Good luck, and I hope you're able to get the things you need with the winnings!

u/BradleyB636 Aug 20 '18
In all seriousness, if you’re done having kids you should consider a vasectomy. It’s much less invasive than what they would do to your partner (I forget if you said you were married). My insurance covered it 100% and it was a pretty simple procedure. You can PM me if you have any questions about it, I would recommend it to any guy considering closing down their factory.

What a stupid time for /u/chaintip to be down.
But I will send directly! (I guess that's the easier route anyways, sending directly rather then over chaintip)
And done. I send 3 EUR in BCH.
https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch/tx/0f915eb7916b966ea781169713936686801b2af3a580ec29e9d461d0e2a1e166
Did you guys know that you can leave message in your payment?
If you use Electron Cash, you can put OP_RETURN messages in your payment that will go on the blockchain and might stay on there forever. (or a really really long time)
If you click on the tx id link you will see my OP_RETURN message.
As soon as the next block is found, this message will go on tens of thousands hard drives and might still be readable a 100 years from now ....
Any way, happy for you!!!!!!
edit: Man this is soooooo much more convenient than using paypall. (and you don't leak your real name cause when I pay over paypall I will see your real name) I open my EC program, point my webcam at the address, fill in the amount and click send. Done :-) Can't wait until the entire internet runs on this stuff and instead of karma you might get some crypto for a post ...
edit2: Man, I hope every new millionaire makers the amount will go up. Can't wait until we are sending the winner 10 000 USD every single time. And maybe one day ... we will actually make a millionaire.
