Blown Money

Well, as you might be able to guess because I’m writing this today…we did not win the Powerball jackpot over the weekend. I believe it got up to almost $500…

Well, as you might be able to guess because I'm writing this today...we did not win the Powerball jackpot over the weekend. I believe it got up to almost $500 million.

And there was only one winner.

If he takes the lump sum, even after taxes, his family is now generationally wealthy. Or, are they? How many times have we read/heard stories of people just BLOWING thru huge sums of money?

You know anyone who came into a large sum of money...and BLEW it? How much? What did they buy?
