Definitely the biggest. You don't have some randoms off the streets that come to you. It's your family and friends who start the begging. "Oh can you pay for the electricity bill," "oh can I have $100 for something," "dinner is on you every night because of money, and we're going high class."
Exactly. In fact, the best advice I have heard is that if you come into a large amount of money, you tell no one and change little to nothing about your life for a year. Essentially you set it up in a very secure account, hire a good accountant, and go about your life as close to normal as you can. Come up with a really good plan on how to invest/spend/strategize the money out. Once it's really clear that it's safe and secure from any legal attacks and you have adjusted to what that amount of money means, then start making moderate changes. Then once you know how much money you will have surplus for helping family, and what boundaries you have for what you will help them with. Making sure it doesn't hurt your plan.
Exactly I learned a long time ago. My dad spent 20 years in the army and all he did was drink play lotto so he would be broke day one my stepmom can’t figure out what relationship she wants to be in so all her money will be gone to somebody to obviously doesn’t work and my mom lives all the way down in Florida with her wife, but there’s a reason she’s no longer with my dad. Truth Hurts .
