“And the same goes for big lottery winners of *any* age.“
Elvis always springs to mind for me in this context. He might have been better off driving a truck.
A few years back I was passing through Memphis and decided to visit Graceland. I was struck by what I saw in either the living room or sitting room (can’t recall which).The furnishings,etc were clearly expensive but they looked exactly like stuff that a piece of white trash would have bought just after having won the lottery.
