Economist, Daryl Fairweather, shared a viral Twitter thread regarding her observations about people's motivations behind different investment strategies. At the core of it all, it would seem to get down to people just wanting to be the best off in a worst-case scenario world.
This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for hiding his inheritance money from his girlfriend and her family. The tough part about this particular predicament is that they had a kid together. A fair number of people are suggesting that the guy should try to be transparent when it comes to those finances.
