If you grew up in a household with an unhealthy relationship to money it is even more difficult to overcome.I have come to believe that we no longer live in a financial setting where someone with limited knowledge is able to invest in a few mutual funds and a couple of rental properties and forgot about them long term.  

But depending on your household income otherwise, a $20k ish gain probably isn't bad. 

Another often overlooked topic is that sometimes... sometimes there is city code limiting the maximum number of 'unrelated' individuals that can live in one household.
