If You Used To Struggle Financially But Suddenly Fell Into Money, What Surprised You The Most About The Shift?

Becoming wealthy overnight can be a dream for some and a burden for others. If you were once struggling financially but suddenly fell into money — and maybe even became rich — we want to hear from you: What surprised you the most about the transition and how your lifestyle changed?

Maybe you've seen a significant improvement in your health (physical and mental) because you could finally afford regular visits to the doctor or therapy.

Perhaps you feel more relaxed because things like healthy food, stable housing, and a working car are now in your budget instead of relying on processed foods or public transportation.

Or maybe though you can afford everything you want and need, you found that you're feeling overwhelmed more than anything because you've never had to manage a large amount of wealth.

Perhaps you even noticed that your relationships with friends and family have changed because they've begun asking you for assistance, or they don't feel they have much in common with you anymore.
