What I mean is, don't do this to:1- get out of debt,2- stop clamoring for time for the family3- stop worrying about bills.Rather, focus on1- gain financial freedom,2- enjoy quality time with family,3- having plenty to share with others.In doing this, you re-frame your current dislikes into rewarding goals.

There are plenty of things in place that make no sense.Just be glad the funds can be gifted and they are not required to be "seasoned" in your account.If you want the property you have to play by their game.
