People have long said that money makes them bad, but the truth is somewhere else. It’s not money that makes people bad; it shows what kind of person they are. Three interesting stories show how chances and problems with money can bring out the best and worst in people.
Marcus’s story is one of lying and then turning things around. Karen, his stepmother, tried to kick him out of the family home after his father died, saying she needed the room for her own child. But Marcus’s aunt told him a shocking truth: his grandma had left the house to him when she died. Justice was done, and Marcus got back to where he belonged.
When Camilla and Michael’s old fights came up again at a family get-together for Grandma Eleanor’s birthday, things went badly.
They were fighting about who should get what when their grandmother suddenly passed away, which brought them together in the hospital. In an unexpected turn of events, Grandma Eleanor left her estate to Camilla’s new daughter, whom she called after herself.
When Ryan found out that his father’s “death” was just a lie, his journey took a dramatic turn. Ryan learnt more about his father’s shocking betrayal: he had faked his own death to run away with a lover. Ryan stood up to his father with courage and drive, making sure that justice was done.
These stories teach us that money and bad luck don’t change people; they just show us who they really are. We see how strong some people are and how weak others are through their problems. Finally, it’s not how much money we have that defines us; it’s what we do and the decisions we make that show who we really are.
