The Simpsons

A grandfather inherits $100,000 from a woman he fell in love with at the rest home. He now finds himself uncertain about how to handle his new‑found wealth and what course of action to take properly with the sudden money.

Old Money is a programme presented in the form of an episode. It centres on a single storyline that follows one character’s unexpected turn of events, offering a snapshot of his life rather than a sprawling series. The format keeps the focus tight, allowing the audience to zero‑in on the central dilemma. In this particular episode, the elderly protagonist – affectionately called Grampa – receives a windfall of $100,000. The money comes from a woman he grew close to while living in a residential home, a relationship that blossomed in the later stages of their lives. Her bequest leaves him suddenly richer than he’s ever been. The sudden influx of cash, however, doesn’t bring instant relief. Grampa finds himself wrestling with the question of how best to use the sum. He’s torn between practical needs, potential indulgences, and the desire to honour the memory of the woman who left him the money. This internal conflict drives the narrative forward, highlighting his uncertainty. Throughout the episode, the story stays rooted in his indecision, showing the weight of newfound wealth against the backdrop of an unexpected romance. The focus remains on his struggle to choose a path that feels right, underscoring the personal stakes of an otherwise simple inheritance.
