Happened on an interesting article below and got me thinking about how I might behave had I inherited a ton of money. My personal belief is that money and things have limited value and don't in themselves make you happy. A person can be happy with very little and others are miserable regardless of how much they have.
I am pretty happy with how things have gone for me. I have done well enough that I need for nothing financially and a big part of my happiness factor is I married well (not a money thing - she is smarter than me) and my three kids are all hard working decent people who will do well in life for themselves and those they encounter along the way. I could have made more money but instead decided I would retire at 53. A little young to sit down and watch the world go by so I am working from time to time at things that interest me. Pretty nice balance overall.
This person on the other hand had a pretty amazing leg up on life and seems to have come through it with a nicely balanced outlook.
