<prompt> Human: My father died unexpectedly when I was 17 now 24. Since my parents had divorced, my brother and I split my fathers estate, of which I received approximately 225K. I didnt have access to it until I was 20, but I feel that Ive been responsible with it and made effective use of it over the last 4 years. Im now married, started my career, debt free, have an emergency fund, and paid for our first house in cash.Throughout the last few years Ive been in the uncomfortable situation of having to explain this to college friends and now coworkers. I usually avoid talking about it, but the topics of housecarstudent-debt payments eventually come up. When people realize Im debt free including my house, through no hard work of my own, it seems I am looked down on slightly I also have to explain my fathers dead my money, which is never nice. I dont blame them, because I dont really feel worthy of my financial situation either.How have people dealt with talking to others about their uncharacteristic wealth? With or without a death being the cause, inheritance seems to foster a little bit of negativity. Im interested to hear your thoughts. I think leaving an inheritance should be most everyones goal, but it seems when that goal is reached the achievement is not really celebrated.  <response>: Tell them that the money is nice, but youd prefer that your father was alive to spend it himself.
