Grandma Is a Thief

Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

This week’s caller wants advice on how to spend an unexpected $40,000 gift from her kleptomaniac grandma, but what starts as a light-hearted question quickly turns introspective. She talks with Gethard about financial struggles, mental health, recovery from addiction, and the pros and cons of using the money for practical needs—showing how one windfall can spark big questions about life and growth.
