if I were him, I wouldn't tell anyone, not even wife. I would let her clip coupons and buy stuff on sale, I would let the kids struggle to get good grades to get into college and when we retire and kids are out of college, I would split the money 40% each kid and 20% left for us and travel around the world to see all the places I couldn't see before. Until then, keep it all secret, don't tell anyone. Now that's a problem I wish I had
Can you imagine what would happen when you wait to retire before you tell your wife that you had million$ of dollars sitting in a bank somewhere? For starters, you would be nut-less because she will kick yours off. Why would you want to hide that from your family? I could see trying to keep it from everyone else, but not my wife. And that's not because of the nut thing I mentioned, I would want to tell.
