So many that get these big new windfalls end up busted and broken. Wild spending sprees, playing father Christmas to friends and family and entertaining a line of new con man "friends" soon rid them of their riches.
The new "freedom" of large windfalls is only life's way of showing us how fallible we are.
Earn it and respect it, win it and spend it.
Friends and family become something else in the face of large amounts of money.
Oh yeah and I have seen that personally.
