There’s a pattern that repeats itself in some families. The one who inherits something instantly becomes the designated lesson in generosity. Everyone else gets to act noble on someone else’s balance sheet. It’s the emotional version of crowdfunding, except the donor is guilted into thinking virtue requires a discount. In modern generosity, optics matter more than math. People want charity to look selfless but rarely want it to cost them anything. The wealthy love advising others to be giving because they’ve finally reached the safety of abundance. Meanwhile, the ones still budgeting every grocery trip are expected to prove they have a good heart by ignoring practicality.

Some call it kindness. In practice, it’s theater performed with other people’s assets. There’s nothing wrong with compassion but it loses its charm when it comes with performance notes. The guy isn’t greedy for wanting full price. He’s just tired of starring in somebody else’s morality play.

Son refuses to sell his inherited home at a 20% discount for a family “friend” his mom hasn’t spoken to in 20 years: ‘She asked why I wouldn’t be generous and charitable, I am not wealthy. I am a teacher.. I have been poor my entire life’
One modest rural house, passed down through the generations, suddenly becomes a test of moral fiber. The guy who inherited it wants to sell it fair and square. The mother, now comfortably cushioned by remarried wealth, wants him to play local savior. Her plan involves selling to a family friend for a generous discount, in the name of community spirit. He's still living on a teacher's salary and doing mental math on medical bills, but apparently he's the selfish one for wanting market value. It's like the Inheritance magically sent the mother the ancient Greece and turned her into a financial moral philosopher, looking for virtue in her son's pockets.
