Re: too much money

Well I agree with you.  Not too long ago there was a super lottery in
our area in which you could win $350 million dollars  (over 20 years).

Well what would happen to your life if you won that ??

would you be able to keep any of the same friends?  Not that you would
turn into a snob but lets face it they can't exactly hang out with you
anymore - unless you pick up the tab for everything and that would
strain it too.

Would you have to hire security to protect your family from being
kidnapped.  I mean the whole world now knows you have $350 mil sitting
around.

Even your family might turn on you - why don't you buy your mother a new
house ?  How come you only bought her a $300,000 house.  What are you
getting me for my birthday?  How come I can't use your pool for a party
with my friends?  Very Tricky.

Who could you trust?
