For some of us, no matter how much money we receive, it will continue to pass through our fingers like water. We keep dipping in, scoop after scoop until there is nothing left, and then into minus. I know people who have burned through more money than I will likely see in my lifetime and now, they struggle to pay their utilities, let alone take a vacation. Their "good times" were amazingly good, like the ultimate high, but the crash on the other side has left them with memories of opportunity wasted and bitterness, not gold.
Reminds me of a friend of mine. He had some kind of work related injury when he was in his late 40s. I don't know the details, but his company offered him a lot of money plus early retirement. I don't know how these things work in Japan, so I don't know if that's a common thing or not. Anyway, instead of investing wisely and making the money last, he blew through it all within a few years and then had to go out and get another job. (A dead end job at a convenience store)
Then there was MC Hammer... I wonder if he still works as a used car salesman.
Sometimes, it is that she says she doesn't want something but then (like children do) changes her mind ten minutes later, but it is too late, the decision has been made.
I struggle with this with my oldest all the time... I'm forever trying to teach if you delay making a decision, that is a decision and likely one that causes you to miss both options that you were indecisive about.
Seems common. Easy come, easy go - pain to follow.
Amazing isn't it! How can that happen, from having your initials on golden gates in belair to nothing.
If you find a good way to ease the struggle, let me know :)
