18 Things Formerly Rich People Were Seriously Shocked By After Losing Wealth


6.

“My anesthesiologist father had a secret family and then died by suicide when that was uncovered. Since then, while my mother has established a solid portfolio, I have had to become financially independent, making $60k a year (with my recent raise).”

“My father taught me to pay for everything with his credit card for the 17 years I had with him. Gifts for friends, dinners out, lavish vacations. Now, I instinctively still pay for things I absolutely cannot afford out of habit. My friend makes $500k a year and I ALWAYS pay for her meals. 

“I have gotten myself into debt for living above my means. What’s funny is that all of my rich friends have continued to treat me as if I were a millionaire. They even gave me shit for not being able to go on vacation to Aspen on a random weekend, all the while knowing what my family went through. 

Had we not received his life insurance due to a questionable autopsy, we would be on the street after being multimillionaires. I will say, I’m happier now and have better friends.”
