Wow, am I supposed to be sorry for this guy? He was dead broke and sells this blanket he inherited from his grandmother for 1.5 million dollars and then goes on a spending spree. What a fucking idiot. Check out all the stuff he spent his money on including two homes, a Dodge Challenger SRT9 customized by West Coast Customs, and a new Harley.

But oops, the insurance and property taxes are killing him and his disability was cut off. Didn't think out that part did you Loren? Gee how about selling one of those homes maybe or one of those shiny new toys. You expected to still be on the dole courtesy of working tax payers after that kind of windfall?

Loren Krytzer, a California man down on his luck got a change of fortune after a blanket he inherited from his grandmother sold for nearly $1.5 million at an auction.

Loren Krytzer was involved in a car accident in 2007, after which he was forced to have his foot amputated and could no longer continue working as a carpenter.

After having used most of his newfound fortune buying two homes in Central California, a Dodge Challenger SRT8 customized by West Coast Customs (the team made famous in MTV’s Pimp My Ride), and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle — things he never dreamt of owning before. Krytzer says, he is losing about $10,000 a year in insurance and property taxes alone.

With no income stream now that his disability checks were cut off, Krytzer says that to continue living off his windfall he’ll have to relocate to somewhere where the costs of living are lower.

“We’re getting taxed to death here. I can’t afford it,” he says. “I’m from California, I grew up here, but without working, it’s just hard to survive.”

Yeah, find it hard to feel sorry for him.

That's typical for many lottery winners and others who get an unexpected windfall.

I would like to see the blanket.

Can't work with your disability, but you can drive a supercar and ride a Harley? Go fuck yourself, deadbeat.

I started a help page for him.

Isn't this the story of how after buying a home, you invest? Maybe not be a bum? I got a few pointers/people I know who work with those type of things.

No kidding. Maybe he should have first looked into a prosthetic for his foot or getting re educated or better yet both.

People smart enough to not piss away their winnings don't often play the lottery.

All that and he's cold too, since he no longer had a blanket.

Schmuck.

So you use a few of the dollars from the windfall and get a prosthetic foot, then get a job like you had before.
He's not lacking in luck, just motivation.

A rare Navajo blanket, this is the one he sold.

Looks like a bath towel in my hamper.

There is a reason some people are poor.

Looks like he has seen the folly of wealth redistribution and is moving out.

Apparently when it was made, in the 1800s, it cost roughly 10 years worth of salary for even the rich folks.

I was expecting a Rick Roll

I know a guy who humbly worked as a grocery store butcher his whole working career. He graduated from high school and went right to work. He saved and invested from every paycheck to the point that it hurt. Little by little over the years he became a millionaire. He has his pension from the meat packing union, but it is survival money. His real wealth came from careful delayed gratification and investing conservatively. Having done that, when opportunities came to make greater money, he had the assets to capitalize. After 40 years in the meat biz as a lowly butcher, he retired a few years ago. He will always be wealthy because he earned it and learned how as he went. Loren Krytzer is a fool. He wasted his opportunity. He did not learn the lessons my friend did and hence the wealth was fleeting.
