Windfalls of cash often wreak havoc. Let’s hope. But really, what could happen to them that’s worse than ending up as themselves, which already happened.
And here if I got a windfall id probably use it to do car repairs and get new boots. That'd just be a couple hundred and I'd burn out my stupid shit list at about a thousand. How do folks burn through money so easily.
I think the problems arise when there are multiple people involved with different ideas and guilt trips. “My important needs list should take precedence over your stupid shit list” and that kind of thing. From what I understand, LeBron James was miserable for years because every person from his early life thought he basically owed it to them to buy their mom a house.
I would stop working with just 100k dollars here.
I had a colleague ask me if he won the lottery, how much could they gift me to retire immediately? Of course a small windfall would be great to set up future stability, but I told them 5 million to give all work up immediately.
