It would nice if someone would do a story about how this has affected 
Gladstone. He seems trying to avoid using his luck to get too much. For 
example in Barks' "A Financial Fable" he uses his luck only slightly 
because doesn't want to bother for money. Maybe the terrible fate of his 
parents has taught him not to overdo it...

Gladstone as a tragic figure. That would be cool. Something like $crooge 
  and Goldie.
