When inherited wealth comes with conflicting family obligations about abundance

My wife and I inherited money from different sides of the family but her inheritance came with explicit instructions to 'preserve family wealth' while mine came with stories about ancestors who shared everything they had, and we can't figure out how to honor both legacies when they seem to demand opposite behaviors. We both want to be good stewards but good stewardship means completely different things in our family traditions.
