When you inherit a lot of money, there might be some strings attached. It might come because of the demise of a loved one, meaning that buckets of grief come along with buckets of money. It might mean that people from all over your life come out of the woodwork asking for help with their issues. It might also mean being forced to define new relationships with those you love, especially those you share your finances with. 

Generosity is always a good idea. Nobody likes a hoarder, especially if they specifically neglect the people they love. If you come into a huge chunk of money, odds are you’re excited about sharing it with your loved ones (that is, if you have any sense of character at all). You’re not a completely selfish person who thinks their stuff only belongs to them. You’re always thinking about others… ideally.
