Used to read all those Disney comics as a kid. Learned a lot from Uncle Scrooge.

The one I liked best was when a tornado hit, sucked up all of Scrooge's gold and redistributed it across the countryside, where the people gleefully grabbed all they could.

A bystander asked Scrooge why he wasn't upset at losing all his wealth. He said that he soon have it all back. He began selling stuff to the people who had his gold. Sure enough, he soon was porpoising in his pile of gold coins again.

And that’s the way it really works. How many times have you heard of some sap winning the lottery, but within 3-4 years he had pissed it all away and was flat broke again?
