Wifi Money Ghost

A young person typically between the ages of 18-22 who amassed a large amount of wealth through the internet anonymously in a very quick fashion. Wifi money ghosts report feeling empty inside and extreme loneliness due to not being able to relate to their peers and not being able to go through the typical human cycle of struggle. This, combined with the fact that they have no real adult responsibilities or things to worry about drives them to near insanity. The nature of money and human greed leads them to not be able to talk to anyone about their true struggles. All of these factors combined sends them into an extreme negative spiral. It is the exact task of the wifi money ghost to escape this extreme negative spiral, thus restoring the karmic balances and proving to God he is worthy. For this negative spiral was his struggle.
