I have been a saver my whole life, but I just found that my wife and I will be gifted millions from my in-laws and - do I even need to save anymore?
Briefly

A Reddit user has been diligently saving with the goal of accumulating $6 million for financial independence. However, after learning that his wife may inherit between $12 to $15 million, he is reconsidering his saving strategy. Experts advise against relying on this potential inheritance as it is uncertain and not guaranteed. They emphasize the importance of continuing to save and plan for one's financial future, as unexpected circumstances could alter the inheritance situation significantly.
"You may feel like some of the pressure to achieve financial independence is off once you find out a big inheritance is coming. However, you absolutely should not let this news change your plans to build a secure future for yourself."
"While the OP seems confident his wife will inherit, there are some huge issues he seems to be overlooking, which could affect whether he ever sees this money."
