More money, more problems... is it true?

Did you ever know someone who got rich quick? How did it affect their life (not just them, their life)?
Did they get 'surprise relatives' and whatnot associated to people trying to get their hands on some of the rich guy's wealth?
It doesn't even have to be rich rich, it can just be about 50 thousand dollars or more won through a lotto or something like that.
Alternatively, you could just answer this question: If you got a million dollars right now, legally, would it make your life easier or harder? Consider every factor here, including what time it is right now, the people you know who you wouldn't want to know that you have a million dollars, and all that stuff.

I've heard this argument many times. Here's what most people don't get: Money does create problems, but it SOLVES many as well. First off, money managment, first thing I'd lean if I got lots of money. Second thing, just be firm, if someone hits you up for money, say no, explain why, and if they don't except it, fuck them!

Exactly. Biggie died over that shit..
I say in most cases, yes. When you have all that money, you still need the discipline. Why do you think so many actors do drugs? If me and you had more money then we knew what to do with, we'd start blowin China White all the time.
Not too mention women, scuzzy agents, the good ol' IRS wants your money as much as you do, and a million other problems. Lawsuits anyone??
On a side note, Axeman I know you like Chris Rock and this story relates, so here it is:
Rock was on Stern Thursday and he dropped a bomb. He said there is a Nigerian, who has a female working for him. She is a fine white woman, who goes up to celebs, hangs with them, and ends up having sex with them non stop for 2 days. Then she goes to the Nigerian, he gets her pregnant, and she says it's the black Celeb's. Then they have two choices:
1. Deny it tho you'll have to tell your wife
2. Be quiet and pay the money
He said many celebs have taken option 2, and these 2 people are paid off it. He said he told his wife tho, and had a blood test. He is still happily married tho.

A co-worker won a lawsuit (around like 200k). Her attitude changed immediately. She thought about quitting her job. Come on, who can live the rest of their life on only $200,000? She's still my co-worker......wonder why? Supposedly she got hammered for back taxes. There are rumors that she blew all of her money and may lose her house. None of my fellow co-workers are willing to help her because of her snobby attitude when she thought she was so filthy rich. I'm satisfied with my financial situation and don't wanna make a living of suing people (she's now trying to sue our place of employment for discrimination or something bogus). Of course, many people move here to Vegas and hit it big on gambling and think they're high & mighty.

I think that no matter how much money you have, you are ultimately responsible for the decisions you make in life. If having more money allows you to live more irresponsibly, it's your own choice to use your money in that way. No one can tell you how to spend or manage your money. The choice is ultimately up to you.
Or not.
Or not.

Wow. My respect for the man just went up about 5 notches. He's at 105 now.
See, that's what I hate. Karma hates me, so I know that the second I get all of that money, all this real deal stuff that you're talking about would probably come down on my ass within the same hour. I'm not good in dealing with people, and I know that beggars and corrupt people would be THE ONLY FUCKIN' THING in my way.
And fuck the IRS. No reason, just fuck 'em.
That's what I like: when something or someone is so bad in the eyes of so many people that you can say fuck 'em for no reason at all and people would agree with you.
No, I don't know what that had to do with this topic, so don't ask.
