    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.

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

    Now that is time management.

    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.

    And now I need to go have a Lifetime channel binge. Thanks.

    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
