[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love everyone’s ideas! Just to be clear, I fully appreciate that folks are thinking about philanthropy - I actually happen to work in nonprofit and am also a donor (of my own funds) to various causes - but my relative did not wish for this particular inheritance to be used for such (he left a *lot* to his favorite philanthropies for those purposes). For the 5K/month to me (and yes, it’s indefinite), he truly just wanted me to spoil myself a little.

Again, I’m not looking for loopholes; however, I do think treating friends and family to some nice gifts/experiences is totally within the spirit of the bequest and so I have and will continue to do so.[/quote]

I’m sure it was a well meaning sentiment but this is so wasteful and unrealistic. Sure the first few months would be fun but wasting 60K a year on things and stuff you neither really desire nor need is ridiculous.

I disagree. Back when I was earning a lot, paying for services made life so much easier and enjoyable. Nanny, house cleaner, uber for nights out to dinner and the theater, massages, etc. Supporting local artists is very important to me and I really enjoy it. Splurging on any art and shows that I want and hiring an uber to take me to and from dinner beforehand would make me happy every time.[/quote]
