Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Need to vent on generational wealth

I guess I could look after it for you.

Take some of that cash and spend it on getting the daughter help and straightened out, that'll be some of the best money you ever spent. If she refuses tell her there will be no inheritance.

Fits in well with "spend any money as soon as you get it because it's never going to have as much buying power as it has today".

I plan on leaving a bunch to St Jude's hospital. They care for kids with cancer, and cover all costs including parental accommodations, travels, etc. Danny Thomas had the right idea.

Campfire kids fund.

Funny.

I am always amazed that folks won't spend time and MONEY with a proper trust attorney that will walk their clients to a sensible solution.

How would you "straighten" her out?

Hell yeah.


Wtf is wrong with people?

Speaking of reality, who wants to go into an old folks home with all the rest of the half demented geezers, often running into you with their wheel chairs, spitting big slimey throat oysters onto the table, stealing the few familiar things you brought with you from home, watching them spoon the mashed potatoes onto their heads and trying to eat the gravy with their fingers at dinner, defecating and urinating all over themselves in the teevee room, having some illegal alien who smells of stale garlic and tequila changing your Depends five times a day, hobbling around all day with droopy drawers, never having any freedom nor even a good home cooked meal of your favorite foods, your main activity trying to put together a jig saw puzzle that has a dozen missing pieces, unable to toss a line in the lake to try and catch a fish, or take a walk in the forests and mountains of yesteryear that you enjoyed so much ............. ?

No, It seems to me that when a man notices what's happening to him, (Fireball's "reality check above) if he's considerate of himself and his family, it would be time to eat his .38.

My opinion.

Just remember, if you or your wife ever need long term nursing care or assisted living for any length of time, it's easy to burn through your life's savings. Some places can cost up to 10,000 bucks a month, but around here there are some real good ones for 5000 to 6000 per month per person. It doesn't take long to go through money that way. With that much money, you could also pay people to care for you in your own home. Save it for you, and don't hesitate to live as comfortable as you can.

You are right. That is why it is extremely important to buy long term care insurance. My brother who is virtually an invalid at home, is using the long term care insurance he and his wife took out years ago.

It has saved them thousands and thousands of $$$$$$$$$.

Look into it, boys and girls. Some day you might be extremely happy you have it.

FWIW.

All I can add is to keep abreast of the costs
of the funeral services desired and have
adequate insurance to cover it.
It got me bad when my mother passed a
while back, and pretty much ruined me
financially to get her in the ground

Lots of good advise as usual. The 'fire always gives.

Geez, Leanwolf. Your evocative writing hasn't left you.

This.

I gotta keep my hand in.

L.W.

Leanwolfs take on it. I think Stephen Hawkings enjoyed his life somewhat. He had it pretty rough. You have to have a purpose.

Suzi Orman has a good book on trusts. Read it, arm yourself with knowledge, then go to a trust attorney. You will be able to understand it better and also know if your attorney is worth a Schitt.

This!

You should enjoy some of the fruits of your labors.

This, heck yeah, you have a lot of time left to spend and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Just because you married someone doesn't mean you have to reward their offspring. Honestly, I'd have a hard time leaving a dime to someone else's kid who obviously doesn't love or respect God. Pray for that girl. Pray for her every day, and leave your money to whomever you believe will use that money to further God's kingdom. Not that He needs it, but just because. It will be a blessing.
