Doesn’t make you any happier! My step mum and dad both left a sizeable inheritance and, apart from removing financial worries, I would say I have actually felt more down lately. Didn’t get on that well with the step mum, but dad and I were on the same wavelength and enjoyed a lot of the same interests. Would hand the money back to have him back for a bit longer.
Think I have said before but when we first married we were skint......and I mean skint. But we had some of the happiest times of our lives. No money=nothing to worry about. We lived according to what we had (or didn't have).

We can maintain our current lifestyle quite easily on our current pensions and savings.
I get the state pension next year and MrsD gets hers the year after. At that time, our household income will exceed that which we had when we were working. I will also have one of our lump sums petty much intact. That should do us quite nicely until I peg it.
Now.....if stepmother kicks the bucket in the meantime......:highfive:

I'm buying my stepmother a pair of roller skates for Christmas.
She'll find them at the top of the stairs....
