I once saw a documentary on teenagers' coordination before, during, and after their growth spurt. They were able to show that during their growth spurt, they were uncoordinated and awkward. The uncoordination came from errors in thinking the body was smaller than it was. It seems to take a while for the brain to adjust to their larger size.

If one's wealth goes up quickly by orders of magnitude, I'd expect it takes time to reframe one's thinking to match.
