I’ll share my story which may be atypical, but can show the opposite side of this coin. When I was 27, I was depressed, had severe anxiety, drank heavily, hated my job, had untreated mental issues, etc. And I had no way out. If I quit my job, my life would’ve been even more ruined because I had no money.

That same year, I received a fairly large but not enormous inheritance. Into the six figures but nowhere near seven, and it completely changed my life. I quit my job, was finally able to get sober, and I changed careers to something I was more interested in.

I spent about six months off work. I saw a psychiatrist for the first time because I couldn’t afford it prior to this ($375 per session). This allowed me to get accurately diagnosed, and properly medicated. I was finally able to quit drinking, which I tried to do so many times but was always unsuccessful.

I simply wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without that money. Now, two years later, I’m still sober, have a much better job that I’m actually succeeding in, and I’m genuinely happy for the first time since my early 20s.

All this to say that, yes, giving people large sums of money especially without any financial education or guardrails is definitely a bad idea. But giving your kids some breathing room in case they get into a situation like I did, is a great idea.

Also, I heard Jordan Peterson say that he used his fortune to “help his kids get established in the city” AKA pay their rent and living expenses. So don’t listen to everything you hear. Money helps people, generally speaking.
