    In a small town near me when the lottery first came out, an old codger told bar patrons that he won the lottery. He bought a ticket with the Friday winning numbers on Saturday morning. He had a newspaper to show the winning numbers. Everyone saw that he had the winning numbers but no one checked the date on his ticket. He said he needed money to travel to the state lottery office. People were lined up to give him money. He stayed at the bar drinking on his new found wealth. He fooled them all.

    That's how a person gets credit cards etc to buy stuffffff... jus saying/agreeing to make the payments. Really small town and everyone believed it by his new "lifestyle" change. {from the bank loan} Fake it til ya make it only.... he never made it. That's normally how it is with really rich people, they live the high life on the spot without paying a dime. The bills rack up everywhere they go but it all goes to their accountants later on, instead. Rich people, tend to get the most "expensive" things for "free" from the top brands/businesses/companies just because of, who they are. The expensive car dealership & the whole town were all seeing money signs. "We'll give him everything because he won the lottery, he's good for it & then, he'll come back to our business and actually spend even MORE money" Something in it for, them. #Greed

Anyone reading this…make sure you have an open book policy with bills, checking/savings accounts. I also did social work for 15 years and I saw women and men who were in the middle of divorces or separations or their loved one passed away and they had no idea how much debt they were in. Their husbands/boyfriends/partners forging their names for credit cards, loans etc. Financial autonomy is one of the most important parts of a relationship. Stay informed.

    I knew a woman who told her new husband she was getting no child support on three kids. Lied for years. Her Husband's Son went without while her kids lived very well. This because the New Husband spent his money carrying her and her kids while she contributed nothing to the family. When the Husband died she concealed all assets from the estate. The Son sued her and she was forced to account and pay up.
