Sister has inherited huge wealth. Help

561 replies

Hidinginthelootoo · 06/11/2025 16:09

My sister has inherited huge wealth... multi millions. Through sad circumstances.
Myself, my younger sister and our parents are all struggling money wise, due to poor pay (work two jobs to try to help), sister is divorce, parents just pensioners. I am trying so hard to be happy for her as she spends spends spends, one day she spent £300k! I try to oo and aa over what she buys, but I'm dying inside and drowning at home. Please help me be more positive, or explain nicely how it's making me feel without ruining our relationship.

You think the OP is a junkie? Amazing!
Some people treat family like shit get over it....

If she's not an addict of some kind she's just a damn good liar then! Too many discrepancies in the story and non of it add up. If you can't see that you are probably just a hater by nature

Or she won the lottery

That’s not sad circumstances…..

"It's all lies! She's probably a junkie or alcoholic that the sister has gotten fed up of helping so she goes around trashing her name. That's the attitude junkies have. Common people!"

Did you use a vaulting pole to make that leap @ByCandidRobin?

The way you talk about people with addiction issues is absolutely grim.

Can you really not see any scenario where the ops dsis's ex couldn't have had businesses or investments take off after they split? We don't know how long they were together or how long ago they seperated. It's unusual, yes, but not impossible.

Is that the What3Words for your local off licence/drug dealer?

Try having a quiet word with her explaining that while you're pleased she's sorted financially for life, you & the rest of the family aren't & it's a bit thoughtless of her to be flashing the cash when you're all just getting by. Say you don't want her to feel bad but to tone it down around you & your parents s she's coming across as being uncaring of others.

I imagine her spending it’s a grief response. You want to support your sister through the sadness (how you explained she got the money) but then you and your family don’t want to have to suffer in silence. Is she aware that everyone is struggling? I’d pull her aside, ask her how’s she’s coping etc and then tell her that the rest of the family are struggling financially and could she be more sensitive. If she wants to get rid of the money feel free to help parents/ family.

She isn't going to be rich for long.
But it's not your business and it's churlish to be jealous.
