Losing one’s life savings is devastating, but it’s strange, isn’t it, to think of people killing themselves over money when they have family, friends, and apparent health? Obviously, I do not have a million dollars stashed away anywhere, and am not immune from worrying about money (as I am so prone to worrying), but would I kill myself over it? Does having so much money become so important? Maybe it’s different when you’re older. Maybe, being closer to death, it just becomes easier to check out than it is to keep struggling, especially when some asshole swindles you out of your money.
