MyTwoCents: 'I am tired of hearing about how 'lucky' he is and how he plans to invest his money.' CharlotteCowles responds
Photo: Debrocke/ClassicStock/Getty Images My sister is married to a guy who recently inherited a lot of money. She doesn’t seem to care that much — she has a good job and has always been pretty frugal — but he talks about it nonstop. I think he means well and wants to be honest about his situation, plus he’s very generous and always wants to pay for family things like dinners out. Which is nice, but sometimes it’s super-awkward and kind of braggy.
He might also have gotten the memo that honesty and transparency around money are good things. And that’s true! But is it your job to be his sounding board as he wraps his head around becoming a Rich Person? Of course not. He needs to be more aware of how his oversharing affects other people, specifically you and your family.
If that doesn’t help, Clayman suggests redirecting the conversation toward how it makes you feel. For example: “If I inherited that kind of money, I would probably be anxious about it. I even get anxious listening to you talk about your situation.”
