Lottery winner won’t give brother big chunk of money

I don’t blame her, i got a sister who is on meth.
all she’d do is OD if she could afford something else.
Another sister hasn’t talked to me since 16 when mom died, she wanted everything given to her while we were at funeral home.

She got mad at me when i said this wasn’t time or place, moms not even buried yet and you want everything.

 

Funerals bring out some peoples real self, I haven't talked to my brother since our Mom passed. And most likely never will.

 

I side with her. I mean it's only ½ a million dollars. That's not generational wealth at all. That kind of money only pays off debt. I'm all for giving back to family and society, but you can't be stupid with it. She's offering 5k to him. I'd be cool with that!!

 

It's a darn shame, we have to rely on winning the lottery to have basic needs.

 

It is getting really tough to make ends meet. I have two paid for cars and live in a single wide. We live about as cheap as you can somewhat decently live and I am literally paycheck to paycheck. I have used up all my savings and trying to come up with a side gig for some extra cash. We almost never eat out or just spend money for random stuff. Idk what we’ll do if prices go up anymore or we have a sudden emergency. I hate the thought of credit cards but it will probably be my only option. It’s getting totally ridiculous.

 

It's awful sad that when i and my siblings were growing up i felt like i would take a bullet for my family. Now that Mom and Dad is gone, it was hard to see the truth about them when I was 50+ yrs old. My big brother won't even talk to me and my two older sisters act like they hate me and I have no idea why, but have stopped wondering why they're like that and just live my life as laid back as I can. Weird though that if they ask me for help on fixing a car or a house or
Stuff that I'll just do it. No thanks needed or wanted. Guess I get that from my dad.

 

Had an uncle (who is now deceased) like that when my father passed away. Not even 48 hours after my father was laid to rest said uncle said: “Who gets his car?”
And this wasn’t a fancy car by any imagination-it was a basic run of the mill maroon Toyota Camry.
Ironically that car was totaled a few weeks later while one of my brother’s friends was running errands. Still, the passing of a loved one can bring out the dark side in a lot of people,especially if money and/or other assets are involved.
