Do you give her some of it, and how much?
Level 3 · 5 / 22
The Windfall
You win £80,000 in a competition you entered alone. Your sister stopped speaking to you four years ago over something she was mostly wrong about. She's now renting a damp flat with two kids and no help coming. You have savings, no dependents, and a plan for a deposit.
Do you give her some of it, and how much?
Then ask
- Would you give it as a gift, a loan, or through someone else so she doesn't have to thank you?
- If she never apologised, does that change the number?
- Are you giving to help her or to end the argument?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
