Would you share £500k with family?

[SilverDoe]

If you acquired £500k, would you share this sum with people outside of your immediate family (i.e. partner and children?)

Please note this is an entirely hypothetical bored Monday afternoon musing... I only play the Thunderball now if I ever play the lottery and kind of had the realisation that as a young parent who rents privately and doesn't own a car, I probably genuinely couldn't afford to give much of a windfall like that away. But that makes me feel awful! I always assumed I would give away some percentage of any crazy windfall away..

What would you do with it in your shoes if you won that kind of money?

Pension top ups are a really good idea. I haven't thought about that much yet as retirement seems so far away but I have been working part time since I had my DC so it would be a smart move!

I'd give £100, 000 to each of my 2 dcs, £100, 000 would go in a trust fund for dgs and any future dgc (suspect we might have another dgc in a couple of years time)to help towards university fees, house etc and the remaining £200, 000 would stay with dh and me. It would allow me to retire now at 60, rather than having to wait another 7 years, and we would be able to do up the house and garden to see us out.
I would not give to any wider family, apart from nicer Christmas gifts to some. But none of them would know the reason why.

No, it would mean we could retire at a sensible age and not 67.

No because we'd still have a mortgage to pay. I'd pay the bulk of the mortgage with it. I'd have a bit of freedom to consider a lower paying job that gave me purpose
