Why the HELL would that even be considered? What good could possibly come from that? Instead of you getting all the unwanted attention, you want some relative to get it instead?
Suddenly finding yourself with a lot of money COULD potentially lead to a lot of problems, but it doesn't necessarily mean it WILL.
It's really the stupid people who don't know how to handle finances who think they could never run out of money that ends up getting themselves in trouble.
I personally think I wouldn't have a problem if I hit a lottery jackpot. I would spend some on a decently sized house, but nothing too extravagant... have at least a couple cars, one nice one like a Ferrari 430, but definitely still have a practical vehicle for daily errands and stuff.
Overall, I'm probably more cautious with saving money than I need to be, but that gives me full confidence that I'll never blow away my windfall like an idiot.
