I think you are still missing the whole point! No one knows how or why a person loses their money
yes I do, it's called not having common sense, and being stupid.
Your compassion goes out to people who have their life savings stolen, but what about the winner who has family members, friends, and strangers all turn on them??
let me tell you something, i'd take those problems anyday over having to work for a living the rest of my life. awwww, poor person having to deal with unruly people around them. please please please let me be in that situation. id tell them to all go to heck. that's how you do it, and then have anyone that comes to my property and harrases me have them arrested. simple. or move to a gated community. there are countless ways to deal with this. again, it's stupidity that makes them endure it and not deal with it.
Why should a person who blows lottery winnings be treated any different than they were before they won?? Bet no one cared how they spent the money then, but as soon as someone finds out that this person has no money left and won a lottery, the name calling and ridicule begins..Does that really sound fair
i can't speak for the unjust cruelty done by others than me, but it comes with the territory. if you don't think you can handle the pressure of a win, YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY AT ALL THEN. why whine and complain when you know ahead of time that there would be good chance of people nagging you for money. deal with it or don't play. this is what i mean about being stupid. and as far as it not being fair. let me give you a news flash honey...LIFE ISN'T FAIR. if you knew that already you would've never made this post. i guess you want the world to be in la la land, everyone holding hands and singing cumbaya, but it doesn't work that way in the real world. you have to be tougher than the next guy especially when you have the responisibility for receiving all that money at once. it's a eat, or be eaten world.
If you someday win, hope it all works out for ya, but chances are no matter how smart you think you are, it won't be as easy as you think.
thanks, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to have common sense. I'm not that smart, but I do have plenty of common sense. and again, i know it won't be easy at first, but who cares? I'd rather have those problems because i can handle them better than having to deal with a boss. i have much more power in so many avenues of protection than i will ever have now. and if I end up losing all of my money (which won't happen) then it's all my fault, and expect no compassion from anyone.
i think the anger, name calling, and resentment from those people comes in the form "what I could've done with that money" mentality. those people envision themselves taking better care of the money than the idiot who lost it all, so there's some anger and resentment, knowing they might have done better. This guy pissed it all away, when here I am broke and could have done so much good for my family and close friends.
I'm not condoning name calling or whatever mean people do, my whole point is that no matter what angle you look at this, for the most part it was because of a chain of bad decisions that led them to that path. one bad decision, even two bad decisions, i can accept because you are in a new territory, but when you make one, two, then three, then four, five, six, seven, and more consecutive bad decisions, then to me that is being irresponsible and stupid. sorry. that's life, either wise up or get run over. we don't live in utopia my friend. butch it up or get what's coming.
I'm sure there is a very small percentage of winners who's demise wasn't their fault, but from an unfortunate set of circumstances. I'm not speaking of those people, cause most of the reasons is from being stupid.
