After you're a millionaire, will you go broke?

[Vigilante]

It would be fascinating to follow the stories of the RIP posters from this thread, including the OP. Some undoubtedly went broke. Some probably made it. Some probably left with their tails between their legs. Some are probably back working for the man.

I'm not going to make this thread gold, but there is certainly some gold worth reading within a few of the posts.

My backstory is a lot like Sue's from this thread. I was a paper multi-millionaire and living like a rockstar before I crashed and burned. The main difference between the first time and the second time... is debt. The first time, thinking the money train would never end, debt never concerned me. The second time, now I realize that debt was the noose around my neck. The executioner may have cut the cord, but the debt was the rope.
