So you died. You're on your way to heaven or hell. And just to make things a little more miserable, you have to look down and see your family irresponsibly spending all of that money you left behind. Your oldest child feels the time has come to buy that fast sports car and tour the country. Your precious daughter decides that clubbing is the best use of her time and spends her inheritance on a hefty bar tab. And yes, your baby has aspirations of being a champion Texas hold' Em player living large in Las Vegas.
