I guess that really is the thing. When you think that you don't have to worry about money, there's the risk that you stop paying attention and irresponsible expensive decisions can start to pile up. You eat out at really expensive restaurants too often and pay for everyone, buy this watch because it's no big deal, give your cousins Ray Ray and Big Steve some money to open a chicken shack that goes belly up, etc.

It doesn't seem like much at the time because the money feels endless, but a few thousand dollars here and there can add up.
