...in these times, it may not be a good idea to show off your wealth, especially if it's sudden.

Think about it this way. What wealth? 3 million in debt will take half away. 3 mill left. Make merit, will be another 250 000 for sure. Contributing to family expenses, surely will be another million. So, left we stand with 1,75 mill. Not too wealthy after all. 

 

the last thing you want to do is publicise your win.
