ok let me rephrase

If someone dies in my family and leaves me money, then I'll blow a little
bit on something frivolous like rims. then the rest would be put away.
Actually, if it were enough I have a weak moment and get one of those boost
inducing modifications.

Not that I want anyone in my family to die, but I've lost 2 this year, and
bad things happen in 3s.
