I grew up with 2 guys and there parents were loaded. Mega bucks. They called the parents by the 1st names.
Gave these guys everything. One totaled a 68 corvette, bought him another one a 69 totaled it.

Long story short both OD’d.

Same ole story

I hear these stories over and over and just shake my head.

I always tell my kids that fame and wealth can be a curse. They think I’m kidding, but you need look no further than the news to see the rich and famous killing themselves.

Yep
Wealth come upon with earning it is a curse
Lottery winners mostly all suffer the same fate
Booze drugs gambling fake friends
Broke again in a few years
The pleasures of this world are a trap. A prison
Only inner peace should be sought. And it’s free

A long time ago for a brief period of time I knew one of the Ilitch daughters through little league hockey. My lasting impression of the family was that they made their children work and handed them nothing.
