WE INHERITED $250K—AND DECIDED TO SPEND IT ON OURSELVES, NOT OUR KIDS

The day the check cleared, my wife and I just sat there, staring at the glowing numbers on the bank app.

$250,000.

My parents’ last gift. A lifetime of saving, of skipped vacations and simple living, funneled into one final sum. A sum everyone assumed would be passed on to “the kids.”

But then my wife turned to me, her voice low, almost trembling.

“What if… we didn’t?”

It wasn’t cruel. It wasn’t selfish. We love our kids more than life itself. But we’d spent decades sacrificing. Always putting ourselves last, always working, always scraping. And suddenly, the idea hit me like a spark in the dark: maybe this money wasn’t about them. Maybe it was about us.

So we bought a camper.
