The financial advice makes good points, but I wouldn’t call someone who receives a large inheritance “lucky” and I think we need to be careful about framing it in that way…in order to receive an inheritance, someone actually has to die first. Often it’s someone close to you, like a parent, so not exactly no strings attached.
@darcy m I think it’s important to remember that you don’t know what someone else has gone through in their life and also it’s not a competition. I remember once being given that line, but unknown to the mum saying it, at the time, I had recently lost a parent. Needless to say, I knew very well what tired was and didn’t exactly appreciate her remark.
