[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother passed away this year.  She left me and my two high school kids $25,000 each.  Complete windfall. I had no clue any of us were in her will.   My kids each get to use up to $2500 of theirs for a high school or college program that would otherwise me out of the budget.  Kid 1 is doing a pre-college summer program this year.  Kid 2 is biding her time. The rest of their money is going for college.

I’m using my inheritance in 3 parts. The first third is the the airfare, hotel/ AirBNB costs, rental car for a part of the trip  for a 2 week family trip to Europe this summer.  The second 1/3 is waiting for a trip with DH in four years— for our 25th anniversary, which is the year our youngest goes to college. I’d like to go someplace in the fall, which has been off-lints for travel with kids at home and in school. And the third is a trip somewhere in the US for a week or so with each kid— just the two of us— the summer after they graduate from high school and before college.

I wanted to do each of these trips. But couldn’t justify it with college costs about to hit.  Some of the family budget will go for the miscellaneous expenditures, museum tickets and food for Europe this summer. But, my grandmother is making it possible. I think that would make her happy.

So, two weeks in Europe, here we come![/quote]
