It's one thing to inherit grandma's china or a dusty box of coins from a distant uncle. It's another to suddenly find out a co-worker has left you nearly half a million dollars in their will.

The 27-year-old, who works in lower management, described himself as an "old soul." While most of his colleagues his age bonded over happy hours and weekend plans, he connected more naturally with older co-workers.

Their friendship grew beyond the office — he even introduced her to his mother, and the three became so close they felt like family.
