      That’s how lottery winners lose everything very fast.

        Not quite, they buy crazy expensive things that don’t actually make them happy – that’s the irresponsible part. Spend thousands on bottle service at the club wake up in the morning feeling empty and used and find the next socially encouraged stupid thing to soend money on. One fancy sports car won’t affect a lottery winner’s finances much, but they buy one lose the novelty of it after a few days and then they end up with 12 sports cars and now they’re actually at risk of going broke. But if they spent that money on something that actually made them happy, not just what society says is supposed to be fun, they wouldn’t become spending addicts. They’d get plenty of happiness and usage out of those things and not perpetually search for the next high.
