Well, I think what he's getting at is that it isnt a 'life-changing' amount of money for him, but it might be for his sister.
Either way, I usually advise people never to bank on inheritances. Live your life as though you're probably not going to win the Lottery.
Then little bonuses are a 'nice extra.'
For instance, my kids better not be banking on getting anything from me, because if they are then that 'disappointment train' is going to deal them a crushing blow.
And sorry, as soon as a family member blames a spouse that is way, way offside and spiraling into really bad territory.
