Maybe you won the lottery, or got a big inheritance, or a huge salary increase, or married into it. This is the sort of thing that certainly doesn't happen every day or to many people, but I would be interested in hearing from those of you who have suddenly found yourself to be "in the money." Or maybe it happened to a friend or relative and you have some observations regarding how it impacted them and your realtionship?
Did it change you? Did it turn out to be not all that great? Did it end up complicating your life? Did you suddenly have more "friends?" Did you end up losing it? Was it exhilirating? What did you do with it? Have you gone from rags to riches to rags to riches?

Early last year an Aunt passed away leaving 20 of us a share in her will. She had no children of her own and her brothers and sisters had gone before her. I bought my house with mine. It was like a godsend as my living conditions were less than desirable. I have got my sanity and peace of mind back. It wasn't a whole lot and there are lots of things that need doing to the house but I'm just so greatful to my Aunt.
