My friend Alan did not have a rich family. He did not have much money. Sometimes Alan 1 had to accept money and gifts from his family and friends. But do not get me2 He was not the kind of person who never 3 the money he should. He was always very 4 with the money he spent.
However, a few years ago, he won the lottery and got a huge5 of money. He was very excited. It changed his life. The 6thing he did was to buy a very expensive new car. Then he7 spending money on unnecessary things or the things that he normally would not buy. It seemed that he had money to8He had more money than he needed and it was burning a hole in his pocket. He wasted his money 9.
When we got together for a10 at a restaurant, he would always pay the bill. He11me the money made him feel very happy.
But, Alan soon 12 out all of his money. He was as poor as a church mouse again. His last dollar was spent and he had no money13.
I admit I do feel 14 for my friend. He had enough money to live like a king.15 he is back to living a hard life. He was wise about small things, but not about important things.
