Won £250,000 on a lottery scratchcard
Me an hubby have had a bit of heated argument tonight. My brother and his wife won £250,000 on a lottery scratchard about 3 years ago. After about 5 months of winning he gave me a cheque for £1000. I am his only sibling.
My Dad is not short of money, when my Mum passed away she put money into a trust fund for me and my brother, but my Dad is quite a worrier with money so we have never taken the money out.
We have our own business and `tick over` and have enough to pay our bills and look after my 2 kids and hubbys 2 kids.
I am of the opinion that it is their money, and it is up to you what you do with it!
Hubby says I should have given him the £1000 back and if we win £1million we shoud give him 4% as payback!
Hubby says also that I should be able to access the money that my Mum left to me in her will!
To me family is more important than money
What do you think?

Your post is actually kind of confusing, I don't really understand what you're trying to say.

I am trying to ask if you think it is right that my hubby says my bro should have given me more than what he did & shoud I have handed it back the £1000.
Should I have access to the money my Mum left me in her will or should I just let my Dad have control of it?
Sorry I didn`t make it a bit more claer over the argument lol!0 -
Just send the money to me and I'll make sure that you'll never have to worry about it.:laugh:

Why should he have sent you more money? Sounds like you are looking a gift horse in the mouth. Tuck it away for an emergency and thank your brother for his generoisty.0

Ok, If you are of age, then you should have control of the money your mother left you in her will. That said, if you can get by without it, then it makes sense to not use it. Or, just use some of the interest and not the principle.
Why should your brother have given you more, or any at all? He won, his wife won, not you. If you think you should have gotten more, then that comes across as spoiled. It was a GIFT to you. I would hate for people to look at a gift I gave them and think, "It's not good enough." I'd probably cut them right out of my life.0 -

Your brother didn't have to give you any money. Just because family wins money doesn't mean the rest of the family deserves that money. He was generous to give you guys any money.
As for the money your mom left, of course you should have access. She obviously wanted you to have the money. But if you don't mind giving your dad peace of mind and letting him "control" it, then why not let him have that?0 -
Your brother didn't have to give you anything so your husband is wrong. You should get your money that your mom left you sin e she left it to you, not your dad.0

The 1000 was more than generous. He didn't have to give you anything. His money, his decision. You can explain to hubby that just because you're family doesn't mean you're entitled to anything. No one is entitled to a gift, not even family.
As far as the trust, that's your decision. If you don't feel you need it, don't worry so much about it. Personally it sounds like hubby is getting a bit greedy.0 -
