Lots of people in my family had trust funds. Very few of those trust fund beneficiaries turned out well (squandering money, drugs, poor life choices, etc). Too much money, especially at a young age, can actually be a bad thing. People need to have a purpose in life and usually a person needs to be poor for a while to learn how to be good with money.
