So what does his daughter do? She posts about the money and settlement on FB and her father loses the cash.
So, other than standard things (such as food, medical care, schooling and other expenses) what is the most money that you've ever "cost your family" by doing something foolish?

I once left the freezer in the garage open because I was too scared to close it. (I was young and the garage creeped me the -blam!- out.) We ended up losing about $1000 worth of food including the elk my dad had just killed. He still hasn't forgotten about it and jokes that I owe him an elk every time I come to visit.
