    2. "I dated a guy who unexpectedly inherited $6 million. His parents had
    been killed in a drunk driving accident when he was a baby, and so their
    life insurance and money from a legal settlement sat in an account
    collecting interest for 18 years. He got a call from a lawyer on his
    18th birthday, and that's how he found out about it. He went nuts. Every
    time I saw him, he had a new car. He bought an extravagant house and
    insisted on taking these big vacations. He would go to our local comic
    shop and buy EVERYTHING. His spending was a major factor in why we broke
    up. It was all too much, watching him blow through money like that. He
    didn't invest any of it. He blew through all his money in five years.
    Last I saw him on Facebook, he was destitute."
