A lot of people would love to win that $1.3 billion Powerball Lottery jackpot that is out there right now. However it would change everything for the winner of that fortune. One person would be giddy and millions of others would be really bummed. Money does affect every part of one’s life. It can bring some happiness but it could bring much tragedy and sadness. More dollars don’t bring much sense. People would need some sound financial advice in order to manage that enormous amount of money. Relationships can change and they won’t always be good. People come out of the woodwork to get a piece of one’s pocketbook. Is wealth worth it?It truly is a personal decision when it comes to riches.
This is one of my favorite songs on the subject. Cyndi Lauper puts it all in perspective with this song from back in the day.
I know money isn’t everything but…it would mean no more working at a dead end job! Lol. I would also be able to help others. I would just be happy with a million dollars, even half a million.

This reminds me of a quote I once heard: “money doesn’t change people. It only allows them to be who they really are.” when you have money you can behave in ways you couldn’t when you weren’t wealthy.

Love Cyndi Lauper! 🙂 I saw on the news the other night, that about 80% of people who win big amounts of cash like the lottery, have lost it all in 2 – 4 years, and some even resort to bankruptcy. Can you imagine? I am cheap now, If I ever won, I would still be cheap. 🙂 I would still use coupons, search out sales, and go to thrift stores. 🙂

I think after I had sorted out my family, I would use that sort of money to get me into government. At least one thing I would know is that money wouldn’t corrupt me
