Whether it be from the lottery, inheritance, or even a great business plan which takes off like a rocket, sudden wealth can be the ultimate test of character -for the person who receives it and especially for the relatives/friends of said person!

This guy probably was a soft touch.... That is until a hundred hands were held out which will cause anyone, especially someone with a natural low self-esteem to say "these people only 'love me' for one reason", which about 90% of the time, is probably correct.

I have thought about myself in these circumstances (I can only hope) and have come to the realization that the WRONG thing to do is to start buying homes and cars for everyone you know, even if your winnings were a billion!
