My wife inherited £20,000 from her dad's death. We've never been poorer

As I was excited for her to spoil herself, I was worried too ‘What should we spend it on?’, my wife asked uncertainly. It was June 2023 and her inheritance from her late father’s estate had just landed in her bank account. She now had an extra £20,000 to do what she wanted with but, after months of waiting and a rollercoaster of emotions, she had no idea where to start. ‘Well… we could go on some nice holidays or you can spend it on treating yourself,’ I suggested.

So, I had a frank conversation with my boss, who agreed to make me redundant and apologised that he couldn’t do more to help. But I felt confident in the decision and took comfort in knowing that there was an alternative solution out there for me – Universal Credit. I won’t lie, it was a long process to get approved as I had to prove that I had a limited capacity for work and work related activity, but for a while we found a new routine around my payments.
