I am sure they used some of their money frivolously . . . from our points of view.

I read somewhere where the firefighters' widows received somewhere along the lines of $500,000 just for having a spouse die within the line of duty in addition to the firefighters' salaries for the rest of their lives. That doesn't even consider the 9/11 compensation fund. These women were getting boob jobs and buying Escalades.
I'd like to think that these people are merely practicing retail therapy (or stripper therapy), and that others never had the best priorities when it came to money, are the extreme minority.
