bum blows $100K

They do not have the capability to manage the mound of money that is suddenly before them.... Their first instinct is to spend and spend and spend, because they're not used to spending,- until they realize that there are no more to spend..... Easy come, easy go... Living for the day....

*sigh*... so true... a lot of people who aren't used to handling lots of money, can't. It's not just bums, or even education... it's just money-smarts.

People, when they see that much money, or have that much money, spend more as befits their "station" in life. I've heard people complain that you can't live here on just 30,000 pesos a month or 50,000 pesos a month. Tosh! Of course you can! Just don't try to live like a person who makes 50,000 a month! :rofl01:

It's the social expectation... that if you have this much money... this is how you should live.

I don't believe that that bum deserves to be a bum forever... try giving him 100,000 dollars now and see how he spends it, now that he's learned his lesson.

he's been deprived so long, what he did was the natural thing... splurge! it's human nature i guess.

Well, a lot of people just doesn't know how to manage their cash/finance. May nanalo pa nga ng milyon sa lotto tapos after a while balik hirap na naman.

THIS BUM should spent his first dime sa isang psychologist, kasi me tama na ito eh...what a waste... sana sa akin na lang napunta...hehehe

well i agree with most of us, this homeless man had been deprived with sabihin na natin sarap ng buhay (even the essential thing of life), kaya the first thing he did was to get or maranasan itong mga bagay na ito, unortunately he runs out of money
anyway we should learn also from this BUM, we should spend our MONEY wisely
