Your Money or Your Life

I started reading, Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence, last night. So I thought it was interesting that the hubby should send me the link to this article this morning about people who's lives were ruined after winning million-dollar lotteries.

Hi Grace,
Thanks for the link to the book. It looks like it might be interesting and helpful in terms of learning to live within your means, deciding what is necessary to live well not materialistically, and learning ways to save...perhaps I'll borrow it when your done with it.

As for hubby's article on people who have had their lives ruined after winning big lotteries, I don't think you can blame it all on the money...I think most of the blame falls squarely on their own shoulders...call it stupidity or just poor financial judgment, or in some of the cases, there were existing problems already and money alone is not a "fix."
Money can do a lot of good for a lot of people if used wisely but I guess in the initial "rush" of winning we can get carried away and make poor financial decisions.
