SHARING LIFE STORIES

My great-grandfather was born in 1910 in Sao Paulo, he  was the owner of some cassinos in Brazil that is why he was so rich.This story is not a comedy,action or an interesting story, it only explains how people can be so irrational as to spend a fortune in five years.

 Some day, in the year of 1946, president Eurico Gaspar Dutra signed the law which prohibited Cassinos in Brasil.Wanting to stay out of trouble smartly my great-grandfather sold his cassinos as soon as possible, becoming even richer.Some years later, after he had 3 kids ( my grandma and her brothers) he died.His heritage was divided in:50 percent to my great-grandmother, and the rest was divided into his 3 children .Some months later my great-granmother died as well and the heritage was diveded into 3.My grandma was a kid and her oldest brother took care of the money.The spent it all!Some lawyers stole it piece by piece, and her oldest brother Gastao ( which is funny because his name mean spent and he spent a lot almost everything) had the "genius" idea to invest almost all .Ten years later they had lost almost everything....and then the story of my family continues...With this story I learned that people shall respect money because it goes away.
