Something I have contemplated recently. My mom had explained a while ago that the money my wife left me wasn't really mine, it belonged to both sides of the family. In reality, since I didn't do anything to earn said money, I should honestly be happy that I got any money at all. However, this has made me think, maybe my mom is right, and I should just relinquish the entire amount. For logistical purposes I cant do all of it in one go, but I can probably relinquish around 200,000 this year, and then relinquish another 300,000 in the coming years. If I go full bore I can relinquish around 750,000 in around 5 years time. It's not ideal, since I would need to shuffle a bunch of stuff around, but it is doable. I don't plan on having a family, and I don't really care about money to begin with. I think at this point I have spent close to 125,000 on paying off debts, loans and random stuff here and there for family members and other people. So what's an extra 750,000 on top of that anyways.

Your Mom needs to butt the hell outta your business. Your wife left you the money because she wanted YOU to have it.

Her inheritance. Her money to do with as she wished. She gave it to you. It's now yours. I learned the hard way at the age of 14 that family members, even your mom, are the last people you should listen to when it comes to money. It sounds like your mom is jealous of your good fortune and cloaking it in an air of high morality and self-righteousness, seeking to manipulate you into throwing it away so she can feel better.

I have seen the situation before, When there’s a little bit of money the wolves will come out. This is the perfect time to sever from the family completely

It's funny because they're using his masculinity to manipulate him. If it was a woman inheriting her deceased husband's money, no one would bat an eye.

Maybe he killed her, and now feels shame? That is a typical White People Problem.

the money my wife left me

She left it to YOU. If it was supposed to go to everyone, she wouldve arranged it to be. Don't be fucking stupid. That money puts you on easy street for a while. If you give it all up over some guilt trip,you might as well save enough of it to buy some rope to hang yourself because youre a fucking moron.

Your late wife's first priority was her parents before she got married and then afterwards was yours. Unless you were particularly close to her parents and want to be charitable, or it was originally their money, it's not theirs. That being said, if she wanted it to be theirs she would have left it to them instead.

Edit: Sounds like your mother is a vulture looking for her cut. Tell her to fuck off.

No, your wife left it to you, she would want you taken care of.

No. Dont be stupid. You're wife gave you that money so you would be taken care of and not die poor. If you use some of it to help float her parents I'm sure she'd approve unless they were on bad terms. But the majority was given to YOU for a reason. You should respect that wish.
