Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories.

And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider?

And I'll like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from Key Estate

6764 from the M. I the asshole here subreddit and says, am I the asshole here?

Refusing to give my brother 200K from our parents' inheritance after he got scammed.

Throwaway. I-34 male recently inherited 400K from our parents' estate after they passed away.

There was a slight delay in my part in receiving the said amount because of some legal complications.

My brother, 31 male, received the same amount, but just after their death, he was swindled

out of nearly all of his life

savings by a shady investment scheme. Now he's asking me to share 200k of my inheritance

with him to help him get back on his feet. He argues that our parents would have wanted

us to have equal financial standing, and that losing his money wasn't his fault. Yeah, right, and that he'd pay me back

or later. I feel terrible for him, but I don't think it's fair to give up half my inheritance

for a mistake he made, no matter how unfortunate. I've been working hard, budgeting and

planning to use this money for my family's future. If I give them half,

it puts my own financial security at risk. My wife supports my decision, but some relatives

think I'm being greedy and heartless, saying family comes first. Am I the asshole here?

Eddett. And wow, this blew up.

I didn't think I'd need online strangers to knock sense into me.
