Rags to Riches

Elizabeth, a stay-at-home mother, will receive $1.3 million to be paid to her over time after a lawsuit stemming from her father's death. Of the $260,000 she's received so far in two years, Elizabeth says she has just $18,000 left.

"I just never felt any pride in it," she says. "There was so much grief and emotion that went with the situation that I just let it go."
