DD is about to inherit £10,000 from my Dad.

All grandchildren were left the same amount.

We are trying for a second child. It's IVF and we have only one chance. If second child does come along. Do you think I should split DDs inheritance with her?

@lborgia

Hi op, have a look at a compound calculator. If you take the inheritance, , and add 5O a month for 18years @ 1% interest, you end up with more than £23k.

Which would be your child’s 10 plus another 10 for second with leftover.

I just put 1% because of current dire economic situation. If you average 3% = £31.5k.

Invest it, add 50 a month, and everyone will benefit.

I think I'd do this^ given the chance.

Oops, found a zombie.
Lovely update op. Hope all is well with you and you're feeling a little less raw.
It's so nice when families come together. I'm sure your dad must be proud of you all.
