I sometimes believe that if I win the lottery, all my perceived problems would disappear. But recently, I started wondering if the old saying “with more money, comes more problems” holds any truth.
The reason I have been asking this question is related to the recent events evolving American Idol winner, Fantasia Barrino who was recently hospitalized as a results of an alleged suicide attempt. Mrs. Barrino was the winner of “Idol” in 2004; she later put out a successful record, an autobiography, overcame illiteracy, and played the lead role in the Broadway production of The Color Purple.
Despite all the success and triumph, many problems also followed after her win on American Idol. She soon found herself in financial trouble, cancellation of shows as a result of illnesses, and the recent incident involving an affair that many believe resulted in her nearly overdosing on aspirin and sleeping pills.
So; my question is just how much better or worse does money affect a person. And is it the money, the chances, the person or is money only showing a different side of a person that is sometimes best left unseen.
