Never EVER tell ANYONE how much money you have.
You can just say that you inherited from a relative if questions arise as to how you are now able to afford certain luxury items. OMG If you tell someone; you will have everyone's hand out.

No absolutely not!
if you discuss the money with anyone it will distort that relatioship. Also people will be tempted to make offers to you and investment deals. You should not let friendship enter any money decision. If you are married it get more trickey. If you want to talk about the money find a person whose disintrested. That's not a church guy or a car dealer or a small business person. Find a really rich guy who thinks 2 million is a small sum . He's not going to see it tempting. The rule is don't talk about your money ESPECIALLY WITH FRIENDS RELATIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS.
If you are female only with a very reputable big city attorney. Until you HAVE the money in the bank account.... it doesn't exist. In the meantime take a second job. You'll be too exhausted to think about it so much. Let 'em think you're a workaholic.

I think it's best to at least wait with telling people about it. Some people are such morons that you would suddenly get a lot of "friends" who are really nothing else than bloodsuckers who like you because of your wealth. Some others would also get jealous and wouldn't treat you the same anymore and you'd have a whole bunch of people asking you for loans or donations. It's better to keep a low profile about your wealth, at least to begin with.
Make sure to spend your money wisely. Don't just spend it all fast or waste it on bullshit. Be wise and use it well and save some for the future. Good luck and congratulations! (I hope nobody close to you died by the way).

My son started that "phase" (I hope) around your son's age & is still doing it. He's a year now. He doesn't do the car seat thing & I sure hope he doesn't start. With the whole diaper thing, I find the only thing that works is giving him something to play w/ & that only works some of the time. The times it does work is when I give him something thats not a toy (i.e. diaper cream, powder, a remote control, a balloon, etc. & keep alternating) & sometimes if I let him hold a brush or some clothes, he feels as though he's getting himself dressed & will be ok. He does the same thing w/ his food too. Stubborn little things. They want to be independent already! I have been letting him self feed a lot. I will just break his food up & let him feed himself & sit at the kitchen table & put my makeup on. Or wheel the highchair into the hallway & watch him eat while I'm getting dressed or do my hair or whatever b/c you are right, sometimes you just don't have the time. Another thing that works (SOMETIMES) & your little guy might be to young for this is that I eat the food w/ him. Babies are not stupid, they know that the food you eat does not come out of a little jar on a baby spoon. So I will take a bite of what I'm feeding him & say "mommy take a bite" & feed him & say "baby take a bite" & we do that until we're done. Another thing is I pretend like I'm getting the food off of my plate when we are eating together & I feed him from a regular spoon. He sees mommy eating off of a regular spoon & her food is better, so food that comes from that spoon is obviously better than this bland stuff I get off of this plastic spoon lol. & sometimes you just have to remember, he might not be hungry. Although we want them to eat when it's easiest for us, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Good luck! & wish me luck too!

I think you did just tell a lot of someones! If this is so, I'm sure you could live off the interest. If you tell a lot of people and you do inherit, they'll be coming out of the woodwork for a handout. Keep it as quiet as possible, It goes fast if you start borrowing money to people.

If asking us people on the net does not put your restlessness at ease than maybe tell your mum or dad or bro/sis. I would try to stay quiet about it. Money brings out the worse in people. There is no end to the possibilities of where you can end up with this money- set for life, travel, in debt, somebody killing you for your money- o.k. maybe not that extreme. My point is- money is green- the colour of envy, everyone around you will be envious of you- for all the wrong reasons. Do what you know you have to do to keep yourself real.

You just told a lot of people! Still want to tell someone ? Only tell people who you know like you for you and those who have been there through the tough times

Are you my stepson? His name is Brian S. I think of how it would be to have that money and not spread it around. I mean verbally. Then live your life the way you see fit and find out who your friends are, not ever worrying if they just associate with you because of your money. Contact a lawyer, yes... get some advice.

Wow, that's cool and be sure to invest wisely and not give out too many "loans" to people or it can disappear fast. If you invest wisely you can have quite a nice retirement nest egg and then leave some of that to charity (scholarship, or whatever).

And all of a sudden, we ARE your friends !!!
Just deposit it into your bank.
Do not tell anyone yet except us.
Ask your good lawyer what comes next.
Do some charity........for the natural disaster victims around the world........believe me, the interest alone will help a long way !!
Do you know me, Brian ? just kidding.........
