It is true, once you have money everyone asks you for some of it and that is the bad side of it. If I had money I would give some away for noble causes like building churches, etc... but if someone wants me to buy them a hummer forget it!
What’s hard is that if your start saying yes to requests for money, then everybody wants a piece and you’re suddenly deluged by an avalanche of requests. And, you’re an a-hole (in a lot of people’s eyes) if you say ‘no’. They love you as long as you’re giving, but people will turn on you in a big hurry.
Relatively speaking, the houses, cars, and other goodies are cheap. Even the alcohol and drugs are relatively cheap if you decide to go that way. What’s expensive is the people that claim to be your friends who are only there to slowly bleed you dry of money. Anna Nicole, a whole slew of other celebrities, and other lottery winners have found that out the hard way.
When you get that kind of money, you don’t instantly have all your problems solved. You just trade them in for different problems.
