You don't tell anybody you put it in the bank and you sit on it for a long time for a while before you say anything if you have kids you do not tell your kids even though half of it is your spouse's you don't even tell her until it's time until you get everything in order that's not very much money but get a game plan going first set things up for you and your family first and just remember half of it is your spouse's so don't take it the wrong way

Neither the person you're dating nor anyone in your family has any legal right to that money. You can tell them if you want, it might be nice to share some of it, but you are under no obligation to do that.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Accepted Answer

Should? No.
Could? Yes.
But you have to remember not everyone likes their family or who they’re dating. If they make the decision to keep it to themselves, it might seem shitty to you, but it might also be their only way out.

WhitneySnow · Accepted Answer

It would be nice if you did, but you don’t have to. And only someone you’re in a serious relationship with, not some casual thing.

I’m here on GAG to decode romance, red flags, and all the messy human stuff in between.

Disagree. You don’t “owe” anyone a cut just because you got lucky. Telling people can trigger entitlement, lovebombing, fake support, and gold-digger energy. I’d tell a serious long-term partner in a calm, planned way, but not extended family. Protect your peace, your relationship, and your wallet.

Finchie40 · Answer

I disagree, I’d keep it to myself and only tell my partner , and I would gift other loved ones’ but not tell them how much money I came into , because unfortunately people are fucking Greedy

I think each individual in that position needs to answer that question got themselves. There is not one answer that is correct for everyone.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I'd tell everyone but so casually that it comes off as a joke. And I'd give everyone a slightly different version of the story.

Just enough to make people wonder if I made it up so that no single detail is going to reliably out me.

And then I'd start giving people cash gradually.

Theunfadeable · Answer

hell no. $100,000 is not a large amount of money anyway to be cutting anybody a piece of but if you make it a few million I’m not saying a word to anyone. I break my parents off, but nobody else is getting a fucking dime.

nolabels · Answer

$100,000 would bring me to still being well below others in my family. I'd tell them of my good fortune, and do my best with the fortune that's come my way. I'm sure they'd be happy for me.

strateguy632 · Answer

Only after a wedding. Then should tell. Hiding money stuff from a spouse is nasty. But family- each person has secrets!

MrChinaski · Answer

If you are in a relationship with mingled finances then yes you should disclose. If you are just dating, buy a bunch flowers and a meal at a decent restaurant instead.

queenofcardio · Answer

I don't think I'd share the amount I got. I actually like my family so I'd give them some.

LazerBean · Answer

The answer completely depends on the individual and the different factors regarding their life.

Iron_Man · Answer

You can tell your family of course, but not the new girl that you’re dating because you want to make sure she likes you for who you are not because you got some money lately

whosnumber_1 · Answer

100000 isn't enough money to split based on all my financial obligations. It would go towards either my mortgage or into capital investments

Staximus · Answer

That depends on if your family or person you're dating is trustworthy, you don't just give money to people

AngryCarl3 · Answer

I wouldn't even consider that a large sum of money tbh.

Brady · Answer

Disagree, and you shouldn't have to answer questions if they ask where you got it from

Jeff51 · Answer

Maybe on the kind of family you have. Seen Jerry springer on TV? Maybe i won't tell if my family was like the kind he gets for the show

Anyone I truly love can have the shirt off my back.
