A little on the dark side of too much money

We have all heard of the stories that lotto money can change your life for better or worse.

For these people, this lump sum of money have turned their lives into a nightmare.

First we have Keith Gordon who won $14 million and thought that he wouldn't ever be stressed about money again. He ended up dying from a heart attack that was caused by 'money stress' as he quit his job and made some bad investments which lead to him getting a drinking addiction.


Another person we have is Callie Rogers. She is a 16 year old teenager who won $3 million. She  ended up splurging her money on expensive gifts, night outs and unfortunately drugs. None of that made her happy and the consequences were that she tried to end her life. She has now learned her lesson and now understands the value of money.
