[quote=Anonymous]My FIL is like this. My MIL got very ill 5 years ago and died fairly recently, and since she's been ill, I think FIL has realized that he is sitting on a bunch of money for no reason. He's the cheapest man alive and basically has been saving (I would say almost hoarding!) money his whole live, so his cost of living is next to nothing and he has all this money in the bank. So, he started writing each of his kids a $15k check every Christmas. It's not 100% reliable though - one year I think he just straight up forgot. We like to be self reliant, so we generally spend it on like one thing we want (a piece of furniture or part of a trip), bulk up our emergency fund if we had any unexpected expenses that year (we had a few 4-figure vet years in there), and then donate the rest (75%ish) I would say it doesn't impact our relationship at all.
