Article about – Sushil Kumar, KBC winner “Fickle fame: The ‘jobless’ KBC winner with little cash” – http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/fickle-fame-the-jobless-kbc-winner-with-little-cash/article1-1313778.aspx
Reading your blog for past 3 years and first thing while reading above article I remembered was your following article –

Unfortunately, its so accurate
Atul
Only if he cared to read subramoney at time he won the money.. I might not agree on many things with you but the best part I agree with is invest and invest more specially in Mutual funds when one has a history of pathetic returns .. People cannot lie to themselves 🙂
Indra
Subra – All of the predictions you made three years back came true.
All of them.
You truly understand human (especially Indian) behavior.
Your blog not only makes smart people richer – but (more importantly) wiser.
Kudos!!

Life has come to full circle for the winner…..
Thanx for being there, to Shout/Threaten/Push me in ‘Right’ direction with money 🙂

And I always thought that winning lottery was the best thing that could happen to a man…
Govind
OMG ! This was my first reaction after readning that news in hindustan times.
Unfortunately he did all those mistakes Subra mentioned in his earlier post to not to do..It is very difficult to make people understand. Poor fellow.
Vishnu
Could not believe that you could predict almost all the things.

The bitter truth is, Subramoney has still not reached to the millions of people living in our villages.
Leave alone villages I doubt whether your readers take your teachings seriously.
Krish
What a foresight Subra. Hats off.
He is not first winner who got large sum of money gone bankrupt. Several examples all over the world.
It is extremely dangerous if the world get to know about winning big sum. Family, relatives, neighbors and even villagers or workers building the house would pour lot of pep stories and try every trick to get their hand on your money.
Guess most of them yield. Discipline scores over everything to manage loads of money.
Anish
You are a living legend, Subra sir … Hats off to you .. 🙂
govind
@ surya..why villagers? Ask any of the colleagues or friends about their investments,spending etc.endowment,money back,LIC,rush to buy at year end,underinsured,love to spend,loan to buy TV(do you believe?)… List can go on and on.

Such examples are reminders that how imp is to become financially educated.
Thank you Subra Sir.
here is another such example –
