[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 1211356, member: 4129"] This was in my end of the woods and almost everyone I've talked to has heard about the story and invariably think that the old lady is a cunt, and are on the nephew's side. I just can't imagine why she's being so petty. First off shes like 70, so she probably won't even be around long enough to enjoy it, and second there isn't a whole lot of difference between 600k and 1.2 million to the extent of how it will change your life. Pretty much everything you can do at one level, you can do at the other, but conversely, coming from about 0 where both probably are, 600k would serve to set you up pretty well for the rest of your life as long as you're not a retard with the money. She had such a great opportunity to be the bigger person, literally give her nephew a spectacular head start in life, but instead, now she's a pariah in her community, she's trying to screw family, all so that she can go from "pretty wealthy but not spectacularly" to a slightly larger version of the same. An uncle of mine won low 6 figures in his early 20s (30ish years ago). He basically bought a house cash, then lived a regular life and got a regular job and had a regular family. But that bump at the start really helped things along. I can't imagine why she's trying to screw her nephew out of that. That quantity of money is almost perfect, because if you don't waste it on coke and rims, it can make life considerably easier, but not so easy that you can afford to turn into an ass. [/QUOTE]
