First, if he couldn't afford it, would he have given it to you? Second, if this is the way that he wants to celebrate your 4 decades on this planet by giving you a thousand dollars, who are you to say no? And third, what if it was you giving a gift like that? What if you could afford to give a friend such a gift and when you did they refused to accept it? Wouldn't you feel crappy? I say you accept it graciously, thank him profusely, take him out to a kickass dinner on the money, then take your lovely wife for a weekend away...

It really comes down to the pro's and con's and if you will ever feel okay if you accept vs. if he will be upset if you don't, and which one is worse. Good luck..... ohhh…that’s a tough one brother.
