My wife's family just gave us our 'inheritance' early and now I have to give it back.
By @nicoee · Family
Her dad gave us and her two sisters a check for $25k each. they said it was part of their inheritance, but he wanted to see us enjoy it. We put it straight into a down payment fund, but now one of the sisters is demanding we all give the money back because her husband feels it's 'immoral'.

What people are saying
@nicokk — i love family drama about money.
@jettok2 — the sister's husband is using 'morals' to mask his own insecurity and control issues.
@owenwelp — lol my grandpa did this but he gave us all scratch-off tickets. my uncle won $500 and my aunt is still mad about it.
@liam — i feel like we're not getting the full story on why the sister's husband is so against this.
@ediemaybe — you never, ever turn down a gift from family.
