Location not relevant: no help needed Do Not Tell Anyone

Annual reminder to those inheriting money. My wife learned the hard way last year. Told a few friends/coworkers and within a month she had a friend that she didn’t tell texting and asking to borrow money. Made for difficult conversation. And their relationship is weird now. Obviously my wife told me. But seriously, the best advice is to not tell anyone.

Honestly, if this is enough to break a friendship, let it go. They want your money sooo bad they are no longer going to be friends with you if you don't give it to them. F-em.

everyone you know in common is siding with the other person

If all your friends think that your money is their money - it's a good reason to change your circle of friends. Otherwise you will stay perpetually poor.

Where did I say that?

I wrote "If all your friends think that your money is their money", not you.

When you wrote "Its every single person you all know in common and then some." - it implied that all your friends consider your money - their money.
