My father won an equivalent of $40 000 here in Poland which was a hefty sum in 1999, it opened some perspectives for us, we renovated our communist-built flat (bye bye wooden windows), my sister got married with her boyfriend, parents bought them a flat (for silly money, inflation is a removed), paid for a moderate wedding, I got a PC (shitty for that times) and my father bought a car, he had a minor cardiac arrest a year later, he couldn’t keep his job with his condition, so he became jobless, money was spent, my education fund was spent, fast forward few years later long story short I got married, had to pay for my wedding by myself, living at my wife’s parents
