So you were going to turn $128.03 down cause you didn't want to take anything from him? (not sure why you were going to turn down free money).

But since its more your taking it...

Well thats some interesting shit right there.

Congrats / sorry for the windfall I hope you had a very large mortgage, that got paid off.

I wasn't going to claim it because I was afraid of what it would do to my taxes. I'm not sure if claiming a hundred bucks is worth what it would cost me to have to go to a professional to have my taxes done because of a tiny inheritance.

And hell yeah I'm claiming this money. It's held up in some longer term shit, but I'll eventually get it.,

In the U.S., this would be a non-factor.

Are you saying $128.03 is less than the $5.6 Million your allowed tax free? Are you sure?

I'e said it before, my wife was raised on a family farm. It is passed on, and each generation tries to build on what came before. The idea that one would run the farm into the ground, rather than pass it on to later generations makes absolutely zero sense.

The same logic applies, whether you have a family farm or business, or merely a portfolio. Even though I do not have a distinct family-owned business, I view my stewardship exactly the same way (frankly, I don't see any logic in treating them so vastly differently). My main goal is to raise my children right, and all of the other things that you list. I see no reason to do absolutely everything EXCEPT be a good steward of my finances. I will do that, and teach them to do the same for their kids and grandkids.
