I agree, nothing happens unless God wants to to happen.
Focus on your relationship with God.
Thats a one on one relationship, which requires a relatuonship with the Holy Spirit.
If you are walking in the
Spirit , there is no shame or fear.
Everything belongs to him and you are a temporary steward.
You will be judged on how you use your time here.
We all are called to share the word and bear fruits in the spirit.
No matter how much wealth you accumulate or inherit, the goal is the same for all of us.
All of us are called to be content in our condition.

YES! This is a great response. I would suggest praying about it and talking with your spouse and letting the Lord decide what you should do with the wealth next. Something good will certainly come of it
Part 2: She grew up fairly modestly. I’ve been working in consulting for three years now and make a decent salary of $125k, but I grew up middle class, working since I was 15, and I had to take out student loans—though not a huge amount. While I want to lead our household, it’s still surreal to grasp how much wealth we’ve accumulated at just 29 years old. It sometimes feels like I’ve skipped a step in life, and the thought that this wealth could continue to grow with future payments is overwhelming I know I’m blessed, especially considering my background where money was never abundant, but it has caused me to reflect on my priorities. How can I use this position to better glorify God? I also recognize that so many couples, especially in today’s economy with rising housing prices, are struggling with finances, so I feel guilty even typing this out. It’s not something I can really share outside of my wife and me, as I don’t want to be judged differently by my friends or family. We both live very modest lives and live off of our income without touching these accounts but I almost feel guilty for having it. Especially in our life group at church and other family/siblings around me struggling to purchase a house let alone for save for retirement.
First country issues it seems. Build a church? Idk, something crazy that would fulfill your human duty. I'm more younger in experience, but if I'm in your position, I'd share the blessings on others. Create support or charity initiatives on third world country, Create programs for people who are unfortunate (hunger, education), etc.
Happy to chat :)
I agree with A1 - give where you can and thank God everyday for it.
Matthew 6:19-21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

^ sharing this article because the scriptures within summarize better anything I could say.
Truly I'd advise you to study the Word of God and pray about EVERYTHING. About every single decision about all resources more than just money. Don't feel guilty about your earthly riches because the Lord has entrusted your family to be good stewards of the wealth, it's more of a matter of what will your response be? Hoarding or sharing? Trusting/loving money or stewarding and using as a tool to glorify God? I, too, have more than enough I could need at my age mid-twenties and I struggle with investing the funds when I know my own family has debts I could easily cancel if they'd allow me to. I'm at a point where I listen closely to others around me that could use financial assistance and I cover the bill when we go out to eat or attend events, small ways but insignificant enough that they allow me to do it. Right now, I'm working to figure out how I could bless friends/fam anonymously in bigger ways like paying a couple month's rent or paying off their high-interest debt. Eventually my husband and I plan to foster/adopt which we're saving for as well (once our first little one is past the toddler phase) and hope to maybe start a school/orphanage type of institution. That's where our heart is, I encourage your family to ask God for guidance where you can also plant and love on His children in ways specific to your talents/giftings.
