After I received my inheritance from my mother, prior to her death, I experienced a brief moment. She wanted my brother and I to have the money early, but we were to pay for her assisted living and hospice from that money as well.
I still remember walking into the bank and the bank manager was fawning all over me, and I thought to myself, "How awful!" It certainly wasn't fun to be treated differently because they thought they could get some of my mother's money.

@4meAndyou My wife and have always said that if we ever came into a lot of money we would still just be ourselves and live our lives much like we do now (the only difference being that we'd have more money in the bank and we'd have a little better and more for improvements where necessary). Having money is not something we'd flaunt...most people unless they knew us personally would not even guess we had it. However, we are also well aware that people would find out, and living normal lives would be a struggle because they wouldn't let us just be "normal". They would either treat us differently, or they would be trying every trick in the book to get their hands on some or all of our money. That's the main reason we would only want enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives and not have more than we'd ever know what to do with.
