It's even funnier / stranger when it's the same person. One of my teachers has been so far up that Elvis Presley knew his name and he was a regular backstage and with his own hotel room on the floor Elvis rented out during Vegas tours and at other times in his life he was literally living in his van. The guy has been way up about three times and down pretty hard twice. The worst part was last time he did the money crunch (wife left him, took kids, killed him financially with the divorce) everyone who gave a damn about him was also in a money crunch (right after the housing market took a dump).

Main thing I've learned from all of that is money comes and money goes. Enjoy it while you have it and make some fun memories for family and friends and learn how to live life without it. And probably best to learn how to fly in the middle ground because one of the quickest ways to lose everything is trying to get rich quick.
