I hope the folks back home finally "hit paydirt".

Me, too. One of the joys of my job is that if I do it well, it helps bring prosperity to some mighty nice folks, who do well with it.

Sure, there are the less nice folks, too, but it seems like sudden money is as much a curse to them as a blessing to the good.

Seems like there needs to be a "Poor Richard's Almanac" proverb about that. Money can turn a very few "good" folks "bad", but I've never heard of money making a no-account "good".

I think for the most part, money doesn't change a person's basic character, and I suspect those who seemed "good" and then turned, were probably just good at camouflage. .
