I don't know...
having lots of money always sounds great! But it seems like people who have it often end up with more problems than I, at least, have.
Somehow it's never quite as easy as staying out of the limelight & helping those who are less fortunate. Someone is always trying to figure out a way of snookering you out of what you have.
My spouse & I are fortunate at this point in that we're both retired. So it's easy for us to stay out of the limelight. I'm particularly adept at it.
If I did have money though, I don't think I would use it to engage in self-destructive behavior. I'd probably just hide it somewhere & keep doing what I do...
