'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

I don't blame this woman for airing out her family's business after what they did with her education funds. For most people, family comes before all else.

She specifically set aside money for the women in her family to get an education. The OP, u/Accomplished_Bar5656, writes that her aunt helped numerous members o…

AITA: 'UNFAIR': Wealthy father stops bankrolling the college fund of his frivolous son, favoring his financially responsible daughter instead

If you've ever heard the tale of the prodigal son, you know that father's love their children no matter how financially irresponsible they are, but in reality, how far does that love go? Now, when you come from a rich family, that love is (unfortunately) quantifiable in the form of crisp dolla dolla bills. For some reason, rich children feel that they're entitled to the entirety of their parent's fortunes and don't ever realize the value.
