I myself have spent a small fortune, pretty much everything I had. Not nearly the level of Vin Baker, but nothing to sneeze at. But his story also offers hope that we can turn the ship back around.
Yeah I think losing everything you have affects everyone no matter what that amount is. And it's hard to put a price on losing your soul to alcoholism, which I think happens to most people if they go far enough down the rabbit hole. That's what took me to the brink of death more than any material loss I suffered.
