Read the TL;DR, the rest just helps me feel better.

7 months ago, I attained the rights to land from my uncle that receives insanely high amounts of oil royalites each month. He struggled with addiction all his life, barely ever had a job, but always somehow managed to skate by. It broke my heart seeing him as he was before he died, and I knew he got money, but I imagined only enough to sustain, since he always had average little apartments filled with cool tools and a nice car. I only found out about his addication two years ago, and have had significant stress up til he died. Near his death, he admitted he felt he never deserved anything nice because of how pathetic thought he was, how much pain he caused our family, and that he's actually rich, and always thought we'd leave him for his money, and that the land he owns has, and seemingly always will be receiving an insane fuckton of money each month. I never believe him bc it seemed like a desperate lie to make me want to console him about his inevitable OD, since he'd make me rich afterwards. Back in April, I was truly given everything and more.

It has been surreal. I was a struggling university student half-assing my way through a tech major with no real passion. I went thru a reserve branch in the military in order to gain tangible skills as an aircraft mechanic, as a backup for if I failed in school. I stressed over exams.

I told my family/gf I have enough to pay their mortgage, most of their bills, and save a little for myself, which allowed my dad to go from 40-60hrs a week for years to a nice 20hrs. But I haven't told anyone the true insanely massive size of what I get. I haven't even bought anything for myself. But these past few weeks I stopped going to classes bc it's just fucking pointless. I feel weird every day when I think about revealing everyone close to me about it.


TL;DR I've been a wagie my whole life and planned to always be. Now I made it and I don't know what to do now.
