So what's your general age-range/cohort and what's your Net Worth?
I'll start: late 20s, ~500k depending on the day and market fluctuations.
Now at age 31 - $0 and a bunch of Fender guitars
Sometimes you are able to keep what you receive, sometimes you quickly lose what you receive. The more often you are tough with yourself, the more you manage to hang on to.
There's a lot depending on luck and life-choices. Think of the old game "Snakes and Ladders".
For me: Over 70, about 8-10 million.
A small note: Health and happiness are worth more than money. But having money is very handy, and gives you more options.
I'm curious to know the story.
I would rather be a poor student again than burdened with debt.
