If fate gives you a lot of money, it can only mean one thing - a test. The test is to see how you will use this money. Usually people lose money that comes unexpectedly and even get into debt. Only a few people pass the money test
Unexpectedly getting money you've never seen or managed before can be really hard to keep.
There's this saying that, whichever route the money uses when coming, that's the exact route it'll use when going. Meaning that when money comes in a flash, it's likely to go in a flash, but when it comes gradually, it'll also go gradually.
So let's assume someone who hasn't touched a million dollars before, suddenly wins a million in gambling, trust me that money won't be used like when it was worked for.
Most poor people fails this money test due to lack of financial management skill.
That's why it's important to have a good financial management skill, whether the money is there or not, so when it comes, you won't have a hard time utilizing it meaningfully.
