[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1106613, member: 13921"] We inherited a bit more than double that from my wife's parents. We paid off our short term debt, paid cash for 3 remodeling projects, bought my wife a used car (BMW 530xi, so a very nice used car, but it was a pretty good deal) and left almost half of it invested where my wife's folks had it when they passed. Our oldest daughter had already paid off her student loans, so we are making sure that the youngest does not have to borrow money for college either. Pretty much anything to get the girls set for their lives, debt-free, we feel we are honoring my wife's parents. The amount we received blew us away. We were not expecting even half what we got (not that we were 'expecting' anything.) The hardest part was listening to one of her brother's while the will was being read. For the last 10 years of his parents lives, he appeared to think that every dime they spent came from his inheritance. He wanted some of my wife's inheritance to pay him back because she helped her folks move into an assisted living apartment. It was shameful. Hopefully, when I pass, I can give the same gift to my daughters. [/QUOTE]
