I'm sure I would think so if I was in your shoes...
Have you brought this to his attention or is he just a piece of sh*t?
My older brother and I have followed different paths but both of us have ended up wealthy. We have a older sister that has a great life and family yet they often struggle with finances. She has two collage age daughters and we have paid the full ride for them to goto school. She also has two little guys in grade school... Their educations have also been paid for in full. My sister doesn't need money for day to day living but can't do much extra... So that's where her two little brothers come in...
I have just recently started another company... I have requested my sister to help me run it. In her spare time, she is on the ball!
I have named her as my partner... What she doesn't realize is that she is at the verge of making rude amounts of cash.
Its family! You gotta have each others backs!

Maybe he has faith in you that you can work out your own financial problems and that you will have more appreciation for the lessons that you learn than if you were just bailed out. I know I appreciate what I have learned financially. I wouldn't want anyone to save me from learning. He probably knows that even if he gave you a load of cash it wouldn't solve your financial problems. That is something you have to do for yourself. But I don't think he should be rubbing it in your face and maybe he's not. Maybe you just have a little bit of jealousy going on there.

It is up to him as it is his money. Did you ask for some help? Did you beg for his forgiveness for how you were treating him before this? Is that all you care about when it comes to your dad? Why are you struggling? Is it his fault or your fault?
It sounds to me like he's upset with how you and your family have treated him in the past.

I don't know your situation, but at this time my oldest child is 17. If I were to inherit a lot of money today I would not give any of it to him. Why??? Because he has no concept of how to earn money or how to budget money. He (and maybe you??) need to learn these things before a large amount of money would be helpful to you.

Why do you think you deserve a share in his windfall.
Your Dad has probably had to put his family first for years & its his turn now. The novelty of having money to spend on himself for a change will wear off.
You say " me & my family" which makes me think that you do not live at home with your Dad anymore. If you have a life of your own why should he subsidise your lifestyle?
Be happy for his good fortune & allow him to enjoy it.

No- its his money, why should he hand it out to a bunch of whingeing grasping bastards??? He paid out through your childhood to keep you fed clothed and housed, so wish the guy luck and put the begging bowls away. You want money- go earn it. If your struggling, its your own fault, not his.

Nope he doesn't have to help you out just because he has come into money. If he didn't have the money you wouldn't be upset that he hadn't helped you out. You are an adult no one is obligated to help you out. You need to do that yourself. You are not a little girl anymore where mom and dad are going to bail you out. You get yourself into trouble get yourself out of it.

It has been repeated many times before and will do so many times again...
In instances like this money brings out the worst in some people.

Come on man! Don't dissapoint real men here. How old are you?
Your desires seem childish and unmanly to me. Be proud of what are and stop desiring what by law belongs to another man even if that man is your father.

It's his inheritance not yours. He is not obligated to dig you out of your hole.
However, you can tell him to stop comming over or stop showing you all his new things, because it is hard for you to deal with seeing his good fortune because you can't help but covet what he has.
