Guy Starts Acting Like An Entitled Rich Jerk After Winning Some Money, Tells Wife She Needs Plastic Surgery

People get married for many reasons. Reddit user Cold-Tradition-1290 tied the knot with her partner for who he was—grounded and hardworking. But recently, the man has been changing, and she no longer thinks it’s the same person she fell in love with.

After he won a huge settlement following a workplace injury, his attitudes and values shifted dramatically. He became obsessed with designer clothes and expensive cars, looking down on others and pressuring her to embrace a lifestyle she never wanted. So now, the woman is questioning their future and whether it even makes sense to stay together.

    There is a saying in my country which runs, loosely translated, something like this: you have to have strong legs to be able to carry wealth. This man doesn't have those legs: his money has turned his head. The way he goes about it he will lose all the money within years. Rational people use this money to generate more money later on by investing, not spending. The usual advice to people who win the lottery is always: don't tell your relatives, keep your job, don't touch the money for a few weeks and get a financial advisor. This man doesn't know how to handle money.

    Guy is the prime example why so many lottery winners end up broke after a couple of years. I would be out of there the minute he suggested plastic surgery.

    The love of money is the root of all evil. Most of us don't really know how we'd handle sudden huge wealth - but looking down on those who don't have it is obviously a bad way.
