Story 1-If your GF keeps giving people money, and you keep refilling her coffers and covering the necessities, then your GF isn't giving people money, you are, but with an extra step and none of the credit.
None of the credit might be a good thing for OP, since the appearance of the money not coming from him will keep them from bugging him directly. A bit unfortunate for his GF that they'll be bugging her instead, but separate finances and only giving them "her" money gives her the plausible excuse that she doesn't have money to give them when they come back for more. A united front of saying 'no' to people would be better, but that added layer of protection is better than nothing.
Reply to the one get rid of her and get rid of her family whoever's taking trying to take you for money get rid of them that's the only way to start over new
then love of anything is the root of all evil... like gluttony and greed are the same thing as love. Good thinking. Gluttony and greed can obsess over or on anything... and it can cause evil of anything. When you issue a blanket judgement, always check for 'moth holes' duh
Exactly! I grew up poor. I married someone well offish. I was put down by none other than my own family members. I was told that I wasn’t going to heaven because money breeds evil. So sad. I helped my parents live a decent life until their death. Everyone else can just kiss my tush! I’ve had a wonderful life with my hubby since.
The guy in the first story needs to get a therapist, to deal with his grief, and financial advisor to help with financial decisions, and 2 accountants one to watch out for the other to make sure isn't scamming him. He probably also needs to take a break from the girlfriend to deal with his own mental health and block all her relatives numbers.
The correct quote is “the love of money is the root of all evil” and, therein lies the truth. People will become different whenever money is involved whether it’s inherited or won. Just look at what happens when someone dies, the people who you thought were wonderful show their true colors. Be careful.
When my grandmother died all I wanted was this ugly little picture she had in every one of her homes my entire life. I knew my family thought I was weird - especially when I said it was hideous ( it is!) - but every time I look at that ugly little thing I think of my grandmother.
I would say greed was the root of all evil, if you only have enough money to have what you need then I wouldn't say it was evil but love of having more of anything can be the true road to ruin
If any of the siblings want money to go to school to acquire skills and get better jobs, that seems to be the only thing you can really do for them long term. If they don’t take charge of their futures it is not your responsibility to support them for life.
Lucky to know before the wedding what life would look like. If your set to marry girl friend, set boundaries. Tell parents they will get a gift (through a lawyer) monthly. If they chose to give it to family members that's on them. Your obligation is giving them a reasonable life style, not others. Refer any gf family members to their parents. As fair as the rest, talk to lawyers. Give nobody money directly. MOVE
That's what lawyers are for they clan setup trust among other things to claim the winnings while certain states winners name are in public record, if family members hounds you for the money the fact that's in a trust make it very difficult for them to bleed you dry.
Even or perhaps ESPECIALLY your GF/BF, or anyone but the absolute finest and most confidential lawyer. Protect yourself. Why can't they make these things anonymous?
Exactly! Now WV and many other states let you accept the money anonymously if it is the jackpot. Too many people have been put in danger because of greed. Whitaker gave to churches, helped build new church buildings, and gave to those in need, but greedy people wanted him to just hand it out to everyone. It is sad how people are so greedy instead of being happy for people.
I think that OP's GF and her family always had thoughts about his money as his mother's wealth was no secret to them and I think he should keep that in mind when he thinks about how lovely they were to him for the prior few years; people don't suddenly change they just get more comfortable about showing their true faces as time goes on. His GF may not have asked him for money, but when there's no need to ask it doesn't really count and the fact she became so free in financing her relatives after his inheritance rather said she felt secure he would replace it.
Here's the thing. If op met his gf today as already a millionaire and these people start bombarding you for money you would you dump them in a flash. No difference if they are long time friends or family. Put the money away in stocks etc and tell them all sorry you don't have it anymore. Technically you don't its all tied up.
Money is not the root of evil. It is the love of money that's the root of all evil. Money helps in so many ways. Greed for money is so destructive. Wishing you all the best and love.
Story 1: set up a fund and have a executive be in charge and they have to apply for the assistance and can be turned down. Incorporate so you can't be personally sued. Set up a appointment with financial experts.
If I were to ever win or inherit a large amount of money, I would tell no one, I would move away, change my name and start a new life. I would use a lawyer to gift some money and never let anyone know where the gift came from. At least this is what I tell myself and it might would work, lol. The horror stories about everyone seeing dollar signs when you come into large amounts of money, make me think this would be the only way.
I've thought the same thing! Especially with those huge Powerball payouts. Take the annuity so you can't lose it all at once, move far far away, preferably out of the country and encourage the decent part of your family to do the same - just somewhere else.
Sometimes you don't see folks base level until they are in a trying situation. They were good to you, in simple times. Things are different now, watch closely. GF needs to know nothing will be different. No cash in the past, none now. Tell them it is in a trust. Out of your hands. Step away, take a break.
That's fine😊 due to the fact that we need to be reminded of how having alot of wealth can either make or break a person. People get so focused on having riches that they can't see the forest for the trees.
Of course, what they DON'T mention is the two thirds of lottery winners DON'T end up broke or murdered. I do agree with the comment that the winners are their own worst enemies. When recently the jackpot was up to 1.3 Billion I would have preferred to win a smaller jackpot of say $50 million or so. No one would even notice that with the huge dollar signs being flashed around in the news.
The actual quote from the source is: the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil (1Timothy 6:10). Depending on the translation you review, it's craving, greed, longing, envy, etc.
THE LOVE OF money (aka GREED) is the root of all evil. Money is just a tool, much like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build someone a home or you can use that same hammer to hit them and kill them. It's all in how you use it that makes the difference.
I live in WV and I remember that guy winning the lottery but he wasn't the only one catching hell from it. There was another guy in the state with the same name and he was getting hounded by people thinking he was the one that won the money. He ended up selling his home and moving away.
Live within the means of what you earn, with the exception of special occasional purchases. Make donations anonymously. Don't tell anyone else you have money. Don't reward your girlfriend by reimbursing her for people she helps and make sure she also keeps paying her share of expenses in order to stay grounded. Those are a few things you can do to protect yourself.
Warren Buffet (and other billionaires tbh) somehow know how to live modestly, or at the very least, within their means. By assuming that everyone is after their money, they are able to keep it safe. they do smart investments, savings, and still manage to do charity work as well. I think the problem with people who acquire a great deal of money suddenly is that they’re not sure what to do with it, they are naïve, or they think that it will never run out.
Money isn't the root of all evil - the love of money is. Greed drove most of the lotto winner stories. It turned family and even trusted friends to do heinous things. My advice to OP would be to set up a foundation to take care of ALL family monetary requests with strict guidelines on how it's to be dispersed (college, medical, business startup, help in catastrophic emergencies, etc - and NO BAUBLES! NO TOYS!) and then remove himself from the entire process unless a situation arises that needs his personal approval. He will need expert help in setting this up. Then he can be free to live his life with his wife as long as he makes it clear he will not be involved in dispersing the money. Then he and his wife can cut contact with those who refuse to accept their wishes.
Last story- I don't even feel bad for Whittaker. It's like he thought the money was unlimited so he made himself a doormat. Why wouldn't you just move? Or crush them? Hire a PI, then run a TV and with all the dirt you dig up. You would have to do it 2 maybe 3 times before people got the message. It would be way cheaper in the long run.
Pre-nup your's is your's, any request for anything else will be grounds for hurrassment and being cut off from future contact and a restaining order filed against any further harrassment..
Story #1: Learn how to say NO!! They want to have a baby?? Get a freaking job!! Need rent? Get a job! If girlfriend wants to give her away her cash, let her!! Don't give her a dime! My friend won a jackpot and brought his girlfriend a new car. That idiot gave her brother the car because she fell for his sob story. She told him that her boyfriend had the money to buy her another one!! She gave her stupid brother a freaking Mercedes!! He then turned around and sold the car!! My friend left her and moved out of country!! She claimed she was pregnant when he left but didn't tell anyone until he had been gone for three months!! He came home and asked for a DNA test. The baby was his! She asked for $8000 a month for child support. He filed for full custody and won!! He and his son now live a quiet life in England!
Agreed, he needs therapy, but do ABSOLUTELY 💯 nothing with the money 💰 4 at least 6 months other than pay off some bills, give yourself thyme 2 adjust 2 your new found wealth and of course mourn the loss of mother.
I know how you feel, an inheritance is like bees to honey. You will have to be strong and trust yourself. You will have to tell your girlfriend that there will be times when you say no, that you mean no. That goes for family and friends also. You are not a bank, and you are not responsible for taking care of the family's needs, wants, or desires. If you become the bank, they will just become lazier about financing their own lives. Pray, trust God and trust yourself. You will be resented for saying no, but ask yourself this ? If you had no money, what would they do to solve their problems and or dreams if they didn't have you to fall back on.
My nieces uncle on her mother’s side had won about $12,000,000 in the lottery. He had similar problems with people. Even his son tried to beat him once because he wouldn’t give him what he wanted. His son became entitled so he pretty much cut him off. His ex (sons mother) & her boyfriend tried to run him over. He had to hire a bodyguard. Then he got incurable cancer and eventually died from it.
Don't be your mom but learn from what she went threw. Keep your finances separate. And get a prenup. If you wasn't close or helping before then you should not help now. Seems like your girl friend is gas lighting you. If she wants to help her family because they are so close that's on her dime not your. Make sure she still helps pay yall bills no free ride because you have more money. If she is crying ask if she should see a therapist about what she thinks she can help her family her mental health is important and if she is getting pressure to help her family but don't have the money . She should say no. But don't take care of her and her family. Stand your ground and she may not be the girl or family for you. Don't become an ATM and doormat. Your mental health is important and if you are drinking and smoking more release your stress and say goodbye. Stand your ground don't give them a dime or penny.keep treating them the same as before you got your inheritance. Sorry for your loss. about the loss of your mom seek therapy. They seem more worried about your money than your mental health. They showed you who they are don't think they have change your eyes are open .
See, if I won the lottery, I’m putting every family secret on billboards from The mexican border to the Canadian border. Ain’t nobody getting a damn thing from me! I’m dead serious because when my wedding business was making the most it ever was, I refused to employ anyone outside of my immediate family and i don’t give family discounts. If they bought the material they wanted for their wedding dress then I’d make it for them at no extra cost but no discounts and no freebies. Hell, my best friend is a multi millionaire and she shops at Walmart and the dollar tree 😂 Her mama said you don’t stay rich by spending money
My grandfather once told me "if money comes from an evil place. You will be cursed by that money. But if money comes from a good place. You will be blessed by it." Another do good shit and youll be bless. Do bad shit like sell drugs. And you wont see the works of youre labor only to be washed away into nothing.
I won some money in lotto. Not, millions but a decent amount. Well I live in a small town and it was all over that I had won the lotto. And had people coming out family and not. So I paid off some bills. And took a wonderful fully paid for vacation. After which I had set back enough to pay taxes on it. Every one said I was lying and I had to have money left. I just ignored them. Just do not put your inheritance in jointly. If so and you marry it will become joint property. Keep that in a separate account in just your name.
I believe there is a hard study in regards to the amount of money a person needs to have a true chance at financial independence and financial happiness, a minimum line as well as a maximum line.
If you leave 200k-500k in your car after you know people are stalking and harassing you. Then you kinda deserve it honestly. Also as someone who has fallen into money of the 6 figures I've learned you gotta be a asshole or everyone is gonna try and clean you out.
That part is really REALLY stupid. Why would you even need $200K in cash? Why keep large amounts of money in your car? There has to be something else going on with that.
OMG I got 70 thousand and my own family nickeled and dimed me out of most of it and when I was finally broke they turned thier back on me leaving me homeless and they could care less. I know full well what money can damage.
OP...Tell your GF to knock it off..She didnt inherit ANYTHING...She needs to look at the folks around her. Cut them away from your money. Tell them there is no bank of you!!
You get some money and the leeches come out. Years ago my parents passed away within a few years of each other. The inheritance wasn't much but it wasn't bad either. I didn't tell anyone outside the family, my daughter told her best friend... who blabbed it to others. I had people that knew the friends brothers starting to hang out with me but not in an overly type way. I'm a nice person and like to help out others, and I was going through grief. Needless to say the money didn't last long and my plans for it didn't see the light of day. Some of them even started stealing from me after this. My recommendation is if you get money and help others out, have them sign legal contracts before you lend them the money.
I’m not rich but I am a hustler and I’m doing better than I used to and I noticed that I lost some friends yes it’s true relationships change when you filter out list of friends when you do better or worse which is why I don’t like to talk about how much I think to anyone that isn’t my direct family. I don’t think money is the root of all evil but there is a Darkside to humanity
Hire me to act as your Money Filter. All requests must go thru me, I'll be the bad guy turning down frivolous requests. Health emergency? Probably. Buy me a house? Maybe help with a down payment but only the parents get a home. Want a fancy new car when your current one is only 4 years old? ...Nope Our you can do what an old acquaintance did when he came into a large lottery winning... He gave all the immediate family $30k with the written & signed agreement that they will never ask for more and never comment if he decides to help this person or that person or else they have to return the money. Then he moved to a 500 acre property, built a nice 3200sqft log home and big ole woodshop where he lives happily.
If you win a large jackpot, you should take the Annuity, hire a lawyer and hire a financial adviser you should also keep a low profile if you can't be anonymous,and you should just dissappear if you can.
Some of the things to do when you win millions in lottery:1 keep mouth shut, 2 hire a lawyer, 3 keep mouth shut, 4 hire a financial planner,5 and above all KEEP MOUTH SHUT!
I wonder if you could sue the lottery for forcing you to go public and putting your life in danger. . But I heard the best thing to do is hire a lawyer create a LLC and then claim it through that anonymously but I'm not sure if that's doable
Story 1-If your GF keeps giving people money, and you keep refilling her coffers and covering the necessities, then your GF isn't giving people money, you are, but with an extra step and none of the credit.
None of the credit might be a good thing for OP, since the appearance of the money not coming from him will keep them from bugging him directly. A bit unfortunate for his GF that they'll be bugging her instead, but separate finances and only giving them "her" money gives her the plausible excuse that she doesn't have money to give them when they come back for more. A united front of saying 'no' to people would be better, but that added layer of protection is better than nothing.
Reply to the one get rid of her and get rid of her family whoever's taking trying to take you for money get rid of them that's the only way to start over new
Having very few friends and family is absolutely wonderful when you come into money.
The problem is that no one ever seems to remember the actual quote: "Love of money is the root of all evil."
then love of anything is the root of all evil... like gluttony and greed are the same thing as love. Good thinking. Gluttony and greed can obsess over or on anything... and it can cause evil of anything. When you issue a blanket judgement, always check for 'moth holes' duh

Yep , saved me a lot of typing 😊
Thank you for pointing this out. I'm so very tired of people blaming the money and not the terrible rotten people.
Money is not the root of all evil: people are. With or without money people will do the sickest things imaginable 😔
True, money is not the root of all evil... it's the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil... 1 Timothy 6:10.
You owe your GF or her family NOTHING. This is your inheritances.
Death really brings the vultures out and you see exactly who they are. It's absolutely disgusting
If any of the siblings want money to go to school to acquire skills and get better jobs, that seems to be the only thing you can really do for them long term. If they don’t take charge of their futures it is not your responsibility to support them for life.

Money is not the root of all evil -- love of money is the root of all evil.
Thanks for the video. It seems like big winners are in danger from everyone, even family.
It's always the same with a large inheritance. The 'family' starts circling like vultures.
Money isn't the root of all evil. The Love of money is the root of all evil. I Timothy 6:10
1st Op needs to go to therapy urgently to deal with his grief and to learn how to set boundaries.
Hence the reason why you don't tell ANYONE that you have inherited or won money. (IF YOU CAN AVOID IT)
That's what lawyers are for they clan setup trust among other things to claim the winnings while certain states winners name are in public record, if family members hounds you for the money the fact that's in a trust make it very difficult for them to bleed you dry.

That's fine😊 due to the fact that we need to be reminded of how having alot of wealth can either make or break a person. People get so focused on having riches that they can't see the forest for the trees.
This is why I love privacy laws in my state because if you win the lottery it's option if you want the public to know or keep it anonymous

Thing that might be good is to set up living trusts if you want to keep it for family. But yeah.
Do not marry the family I mean her. I was in a relationship that was exactly like this and I became a bank without the money.
Money is not the root of all evil. The misguided love of money is the root of all evil.
It's the love of money.....
Money is not the cause or root to evil. People are. Greedy and petty people

Your mental health is important and if you are drinking and smoking more release your stress and say goodbye. Stand your ground don't give them a dime or penny.keep treating them the same as before you got your inheritance. Sorry for your loss. about the loss of your mom seek therapy. They seem more worried about your money than your mental health. They showed you who they are don't think they have change your eyes are open .
Run,don't walk run.Your family is cool then stick with them if you want to help you set the limited!!!!! ¡
The actual quote is " the LOVE of money is the root of all evil."
Story 1: get a new GF
One that isn't a money grubbing goblin
Might be hard to find. One problem with having so much money is you can never be sure if someone likes you for you and not your bank account.
Run dude Run
Money is not evil. People are evil, especially towards those who have a lot of money.
S1. Hire an amazing lawyer,, change your name, and move far away, OP. Good luck!
See, if I won the lottery, I’m putting every family secret on billboards from The mexican border to the Canadian border.
Ain’t nobody getting a damn thing from me!
I’m dead serious because when my wedding business was making the most it ever was, I refused to employ anyone outside of my immediate family and i don’t give family discounts.
If they bought the material they wanted for their wedding dress then I’d make it for them at no extra cost but no discounts and no freebies.
Hell, my best friend is a multi millionaire and she shops at Walmart and the dollar tree 😂
Her mama said you don’t stay rich by spending money
The love of money, is the root of all evil.
Bud post was the uncle in-law of my husband's sister. I got to see that one first-hand. Sad but the greed was great.
He needs therapy.
That Whittaker story has been on TV like 20/20, inside edition, or 60 mins or something like that.
No money is not evil people is evil
The actual saying is "THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of ALL EVIL"! Money itself is nothing but a tool to be used.
The love & lack of money is the root of all evil! Money in itself is not evil!
My grandfather once told me "if money comes from an evil place. You will be cursed by that money. But if money comes from a good place. You will be blessed by it." Another do good shit and youll be bless. Do bad shit like sell drugs. And you wont see the works of youre labor only to be washed away into nothing.
I won some money in lotto. Not, millions but a decent amount. Well I live in a small town and it was all over that I had won the lotto. And had people coming out family and not. So I paid off some bills. And took a wonderful fully paid for vacation. After which I had set back enough to pay taxes on it. Every one said I was lying and I had to have money left. I just ignored them. Just do not put your inheritance in jointly. If so and you marry it will become joint property. Keep that in a separate account in just your name.
Why leave all that money in his car? What a fool.
29👍's up thank you for sharing
I believe there is a hard study in regards to the amount of money a person needs to have a true chance at financial independence and financial happiness, a minimum line as well as a maximum line.
If you leave 200k-500k in your car after you know people are stalking and harassing you. Then you kinda deserve it honestly. Also as someone who has fallen into money of the 6 figures I've learned you gotta be a asshole or everyone is gonna try and clean you out.
That part is really REALLY stupid. Why would you even need $200K in cash? Why keep large amounts of money in your car? There has to be something else going on with that.
Nope, greed is the problem
OMG I got 70 thousand and my own family nickeled and dimed me out of most of it and when I was finally broke they turned thier back on me leaving me homeless and they could care less. I know full well what money can damage.
OP...Tell your GF to knock it off..She didnt inherit ANYTHING...She needs to look at the folks around her. Cut them away from your money. Tell them there is no bank of you!!
Op needs to go to therapy and couples, counseling and strong boundaries. The in-laws and a will testament and talk about future children are not.
You get some money and the leeches come out. Years ago my parents passed away within a few years of each other. The inheritance wasn't much but it wasn't bad either. I didn't tell anyone outside the family, my daughter told her best friend... who blabbed it to others. I had people that knew the friends brothers starting to hang out with me but not in an overly type way. I'm a nice person and like to help out others, and I was going through grief. Needless to say the money didn't last long and my plans for it didn't see the light of day. Some of them even started stealing from me after this. My recommendation is if you get money and help others out, have them sign legal contracts before you lend them the money.
They don’t have the means to “Start” having a family. WTF
Attitude towards money and towards life makes or breaks people when they do come into large sums of money.
My oldest sister called needs money 💰
I’m not rich but I am a hustler and I’m doing better than I used to and I noticed that I lost some friends yes it’s true relationships change when you filter out list of friends when you do better or worse which is why I don’t like to talk about how much I think to anyone that isn’t my direct family. I don’t think money is the root of all evil but there is a Darkside to humanity
Hire me to act as your Money Filter. All requests must go thru me, I'll be the bad guy turning down frivolous requests. Health emergency? Probably. Buy me a house? Maybe help with a down payment but only the parents get a home. Want a fancy new car when your current one is only 4 years old? ...Nope
Our you can do what an old acquaintance did when he came into a large lottery winning... He gave all the immediate family $30k with the written & signed agreement that they will never ask for more and never comment if he decides to help this person or that person or else they have to return the money.
Then he moved to a 500 acre property, built a nice 3200sqft log home and big ole woodshop where he lives happily.
If you win a large jackpot, you should take the Annuity, hire a lawyer and hire a financial adviser you should also keep a low profile if you can't be anonymous,and you should just dissappear if you can.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LACK of money is.
Money can't buy happiness. It can buy misery though.
ABSOLUTELY DONT GIVE THEM FREELOADING , PANHANDLING , BEGGING , BEGGARS A RED CENT. GIVE A INCH !!! WILL BEG A MILE. EMERGENCY AFTER EMERGENCY.
If I ever won the lottery, I would disappear, only 2 people would know my exact location. Otherwise I'd take care of my folks from afar
Should've went to a lawyer, CPA, and stay quiet
Some of the things to do when you win millions in lottery:1 keep mouth shut, 2 hire a lawyer, 3 keep mouth shut, 4 hire a financial planner,5 and above all KEEP MOUTH SHUT!
And this is why you never let it be known that you won the lottery
The LOVE of money is thr root of all evil
I never feel sorry for people with large sums of money.
I wonder if you could sue the lottery for forcing you to go public and putting your life in danger. . But I heard the best thing to do is hire a lawyer create a LLC and then claim it through that anonymously but I'm not sure if that's doable
Money isn't the problem. The problem is GREED!!! Whether for money, power, material things or anything else. Greed is what screws us as human beings.
