Wouldn't that be the epitome of perfect planning?

Even better yet, I want the last check I wrote to bounce.

Now that is time management.

    Not me, I’d rather kill myself working 80 hour weeks to save up for a retirement that I’ll spend in a nursing home so I can leave my millions to my lazy ungrateful kids.

    My kids have already divied up what they want from me when I die and oddly enough, none of it is cash. But it makes me feel good to know they are waiting with bated breath.

    Have a huge yard sale while you cackle on your death bed. Tell them that you’re leaving them a life lesson instead
  • I'm not taking a penny with me... my son can have it all

    I intend to continue working an 80 work week and managing my finances, then dropping dead from a cardic event exactly three days after retiring.

    I have it all planned out.

    sorry to tell ya but the nursing home will suck up every penny. That shiznit is expensive.

    Pfft.... just write a bad check.

    Then apologize.

    Then write another check, but forget to sign it.

    ..... it's not that difficult.

    Just putting to rest another long time family member this last few months. My Dad was executor on the estate and it is always a reflective and interesting time to see how life wraps up. Especially where life long pursuits of finances are concerned. But in the end, the 'stuff and money' just gets sorted away. I am all about decluttering these days and focusing on experiences and not things anymore. Same for my kids.

    I am alive and penniless so there's that

    except the loose change in the mason jar and a coin collection worth about 40 bucks if I can find it in the attic.

    Check that jar. I had one. A couple months ago I gave mine to my daughter. She's single and I thought I'd rather give it to her than haul it down to the bank. She told me there was over $400 in it.

    That's a major win for your daughter.

    I almost needed to empty it to finish paying for my daughters wedding this past month. :grimace:

    I am sure if you pay someone with the remainder of your pennies someone could help you accomplish that.

    I once had a meeting with an attorney to set up a trust and a will.

    The attorney asked me: Do you want to be buried or cremated?

    I Replied: Neither! Instead, I want to be beer battered and deep fried.

    The attorney didn't even smile.

    Then you need a new attorney. I would have laughed out loud.

    That would be a terrible use of pennies.

    I sometimes wished my paternal grandfather didn't leave anything behind. Found out in February, that my father's half siblings and their children have been living off the sales of my grandfather's properties for the past 27 years. Here I was thinking they were like us, the descendents of his first wife, living off our own blood, sweat and tears. No ... They sold off the last home for $5M, which they've quickly divided amongst themselves. Apparently, a silly cousin of mine spent all of his share on a car. The car is worth US$300K I'm told, then you'd need to add customs et al to offload that in the islands ... With all the potholes ?? ... Crazy.

    My Papa should have spent it all.

    Why not leave your kids some debt? Give ‘me a little project to work on when you’re gone :D

    Who know? Maybe if you left them with an inheritance it would tear them apart.. think of all the strife they may have amongst each other as to who gets what :D

    There’s something to this. You know how in movies the guy knows he’s bad for the girl so he’s a dillhole to her so she won’t cry over him even though secretly he broke down in the shower one time because it pained him to hurt someone he loved and then he steeled himself to feeling any emotions to prevent ever loving anyone ever again and this drives him to become a surly drunk until she comes back eighteen years later and says here meet your child that I bore and raised this whole time just so I could come today and be a martyr and by the way one or both of us is sick or something and we need your help or part of an organ or we’ll die so he kicks the drinking habit and shaves off his glorious scruff to rise up to the challenge of becoming the man he once was and could only be with her because this movie emasculates men to make women feel empowered and they all live happily ever after? I don’t remember where I was going with this analogy

    Exactly. They'd called a family meeting - it's a chauvinistic family, so our brother attends and represents our branch. He informs them that he will honour our father's decision to not receive monies stemming from the sale(s) of our grandfather's properties. Arguments ensued right there as to how my father's cut would be divided. Our brother thought it was a sad scene to witness. Greed and desperation.

    I want my money buried in the coffin with me. Then whoever's brave enough to go in and get it afterwards has truly earned it.

    :s that was such a long-winded sentence. Can you add grammar and re-explain it? I’m having trouble understanding

    This is funny to me for so many reasons :joy:

    @ChaelAZ you’ll appreciate this
