Young man wins "life changing" amount of money, some family pressures him to share his winnings but he refuses, tearing the family apart: 'I can't stand the entitlement'

Money is a point of contention for everyone. No matter how steady you try to keep your head when you fall into a large sum, it becomes difficult and it's human nature. In this story, the protagonist is a 28-year-old man who comes into a life changing amount of money, so much so that he thinks he won't have to work another day in his life. He has his family over to celebrate his winnings, and to host them for eating and drinking. They come in with attitude he doesn't expect, and demand to know what he's doing with the money. He says that some is going to nieces and nephews, but they're not happy with his decision.

In my family, money hasn't been so sundering as it is in this story. Of course, there have been disagreements, arguments, or confusion around it, but it's never gotten to this point.

It's his money, and he has every right to do what he pleases with it. It can feel offensive when you're not chosen as someone close enough to receive part of the funds in this situation, but that's life.
