I had a guy that worked for me who thought he had FU money. He had started day trading in the stock market and accidentally made an online trade on margin and made about $300k. I suggested he take the bulk if the money out and invest it more safely. He assumed he was a genius and could do it again any time he chose. He quit a few days later after giving me the big "FU" to be a full time day trader from home. A couple of weeks later he had lost all of the $300k (he left his money in that one penny stock and rode it all the way down to nothing). I told him "FU".
I had another guy that sold his very nice house (his wife owned it outright from a previous marriage). They rented a smaller, cheaper home. BHe was making a few bucks day trading at night with money from his $100k job but thought the $409k would give him enough capital to trade and make big bucks. I convinced him to take a leave of absence in case it did nit work out. He thought it silly but indulged me. He was back at work six weeks later,
