Find answers to your legal question.





Why is it that after winning a fortune I'm so depressed?

I won 7 million pounds on the lottery and since then life has been a disaster.
I gave all of my close family a large sum each.
I gave all my friends a considerable ammount.
But I find that people who used to barely acknowledge my existance resent the fact thet I gave them nothing.
I feel that I must move out of the area that I love.
This may sound crazy , but I'm sorry I ever bought that ticket

Oh blah blah blah blah blah..........................you only prove money doesn't make you happy. Get over yourself and so something good with your money. Like, I dunno, donate to a charity that feeds homeless children, because one child dies every 6 seconds from starvation.

Donate money to a local hospital so they are able to help give care to people who have been laid off or their jobs went overseas or whatever.

But quit your fricking whining. Because I'll bet you wouldn't really give all that money up even though your life is soooooo miserable. You could do so much good and yet you whine.

I think you are just showing off. If you are that miserable whey not donate ALL your money to help the homeless?? Oh but no, you can't do that.

You make me ill.

money doesnt bring you happiness.
my father is a millionaire but he never gave me a thing and im so pleased about that now.
money is nothing

they say money isn't everything.

Why do you do something with your money, that is worth while. Looking into various local charities, buy a plot of land for kids to build and plan their own play area.

If people see that you are helping others, they may think twice of asking you for their own purpose.

Congratulations on you win and I hope it will bring you some happiness.

Take the money you have left and invest it. Then move to an area where nobody knows you. Live a moderate lifestyle and don't ever ever tell anyone you won alot of money.
You want people to love you for yourself and not what you can give them.

why should we believe you that you won???????


happy_girl
that's a shame, its just because they are jealous that they have kind of missed out. if they didnt mean that much to you then (or vice versa) why should you really be bothered? i wouldnt be pushed out of your village over people that dont matter.

That can happen to many who win a fourtune. Maybe just go away for a while. Lay low until the newness wears off. If I had all that cash, I'd be traveling!

wow.. bummer! Hey, I'd sure know what to do with that kind of money..My family. Do some good with the money and then treat yourself.. If the other people resent your good luck, then who needs them! They're just spitefull people who are now showing their true colors.. Get over it and enjoy your life!

If you love the area, stay there. At least now you know who your real friends are, you know? Those you care about you more than themselves will stick with you and be happy for you. If you're at peace with moving to an area where nobody knows about it, then going is the best choice. Just remember, money can be very divisive. Maybe next time, keep such volatile info to yourself, hm?

You can just donate all your winnings to me.

Then you can say you are broke.

As for people -- they always want money. And if they can say that they have ANY relation to you (We used to sit next to each other in the 4th grade -- give me money!) -- it's because humans are greedy and they want what others have that they CAN'T or DON'T have.

You should be happy that you've enriched the lives of those you care about. You shouldn't care about those people who are just coming into your life because you have money.

Put the money into investments and continue living your life -- but take the time to ENJOY it...as you've earned it. The money-grubbers... HAVEN'T.

Depressed with all that money , you should try getting up every morning at 5am and going to work , now that's depressing.
Tell you what why don't you give me the rest of your money and you can go back to being yourself.

it happens, money doesnt mean you will be happy, heck id be happy with enough to pay my bills and put me in school, you have what many want, choose what you want to do in life good see the world, find what makes you happy. remember that you cant make everyone happy all the time just some people some of the time.

I have thought so much about winning the lottery that I've already worked out all these kinks. I figured ahead of time that if I gave a lot of money away, I'd run the risk of alienating people I didn't give money to. So I decided to give money to specific people for specific reasons. For example, if you only gave money to immediate family members (brothers and sisters), nobody ought to object. But if you gave money to one sibling and not another, then you'd alienate people.

It's easy when you keep it in the family, but it's a little more tricky when you start giving money to friends. The reason is that not all friends are equal. You've got a close inner circle, then friends outside of that circle, then acquaintences, and then just people you hardly know. The difficulty is in where to draw the line. It's almost impossible to draw the line anywhere without upsetting somebody.

So the best thing to do, if you want to give money to friends, is keep it to our inner circle. But it's probably best not to give large sums of money to friends at all.

Poor you. Have you thought about moving to somewhere that no one knows you and ditch those leaches!


ooooh look @ me, lol
It is unfortunate that you have had to get the one on one realisation that money is a route of evil. although you won the money, why did you feel the need to give it away to so many people? was it to please them to make you feel good? I don't know your full background but it could be that you were not too happy before the money, at the end of the day you are living you are breathing so you should be grateful for that and take the winning of the money as a bonus, and never mind what others think, if you keep thinking that way you will end up feeling bad and give it all away and if that is the case then give it to charity causes that will help others not just to people who think you should give them some.
Good luck....

Well put it this way ''Money can help you find happiness but it sure as hell can't buy your happiness''

The people who are resentful towards you because you didn't give them any spare change is not even worth wasting another minute thinking about.

Why should you re-locate because of this. You won the lottery not them. You should do something which will make you happy.

Rather then mope around thinking of who you forgot to give some of your winnings to go and be productive.

If you really feel sorry you bought the ticket then donate it to charity.

Most would be estatic to be in your position. So rather then be unhappy be grateful that you was blessed.

can you move from were you live if so it dont tell any1 that you won the money then people will want to know you for you in time you will learn who your friends are just be careful theres a lot of people out there who"ll want you for money its a problem ide like to have but hey life goes on enjoy it while you can just dont be silly with it , you say how old you are retire abroad


xxcallme_smileyxx
Those people are just being greedy, you shared your winnings with your family and your friends. What have you done for yourself? It is YOUR winnings, YOUR decision what to do with it, and you shouldn't let their feelings bother you and affect you that way. You said they barely acknowledged your existence before you won the money and now they want to be your best friend, that's not real friends, they're just money hungry. So, have some fun!

because you obviously gave your $$$ to ungrateful people; when in fact you should have given me a large sum and been happy and content in the fact that you indeed helped some woman and her poor family with 4 children!

because. its typical let down after a high... dont move; enjoy life; if you must get on meds!!!

I've heard of this happening before.
Put all your money into a savings account and live a more simple life.That way you will appreciate your winnings more.
You need to realise how lucky you are.
People all over the world are starving to death and would give anything to have money and food-let alone £7 million!
Count your blessing and think of what you do have!
As for the people who resent you-if they used to barely know you were there,why do you even care?
They are all just jealous of your money.
Concentrate on the family and friends you do have and enjoy your money together.
Also maybe you are one of those people who need to find religion to feel complete?

Everyone has moments that alter their destiny and when this one came for you, you were generous with those close to you. You have to ask yourself what were your expectations from your actions of generosity and look at it honestly.
Why does it matter what people that barely acknowledge your existence think.
Money should only be used as a means to more freedom in your life. Don't allow other others greed/envy to poison the gift you've been given enjoy your life. You have taken are of those close to you now try and take care of yourself and decide what is important to you and now you can pursue

Depression is an illness. medication helps a lot. When pulling yourself together doesn't work ,see a doctor. to many people are afraid to talk openly about mental health issues.Robbie Williams suffers from depression and he's got a 100 million or so. best of luck .

Take whatever you have left and see a financial planner or you'll be worse off than when you started. Trust me on this.

Money changes your life. In many ways. It may not change you as much as it changes those around you. It also changes the number and type of people who want to be around you. Beware of people who believe you should owe them something just because you suddenly have something.

Get some plans for the future rolling and move towards them. You may have to move your residence.

I wish it was as easily done as said. It may be tough for a while but things will get better. I promise. Dont spend any more money until you see a financial planner though.

Good Luck
