People often have a childish view of "a MILLION DOLLARS!" as being essentially inexhaustible; i.e., more like "a billion dollars"...

With one Ferrari and a house, you could be unable to pay for insurance on the former or taxes on the latter.

@SomeMichGuy I love that pun! [i]Childish view[/i] Having children is a great way to blow a million dollars--might take a few more years--but have a couple kiddos and some time and you will get there!

@SomeMichGuy You are definitely right. It is very possible to blow through a million dollars in a single week.

@SomeMichGuy As I've said to some other members who've commented, it's just way too easy to quickly burn it all without even realizing it. One minute you are rich, and the next it's like you never even had it 🤷‍♀️.

@latinbutterfly @robertsnj A good friends daughter is going through this right now. She got $970,000. Okay, not a full million, but close enough. In a month she is already half way through it.
