1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: I became a millionaire overnight and lost everything that actually mattered.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Hold on, Sophia, did you just say they lost everything

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: after becoming a millionaire.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: That's right to Gooda. It's inheriting too much drama week

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: on the Okay Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: This author writes, my mom just passed away and left

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: me a fortune, but now my girlfriend's entire family is

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: coming out of nowhere with their hands out. I can't sleep,

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: I can't eat, and I feel like the money I

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: inherited is slowly destroying every good thing in my life.

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: But first, a quick two minute break for the sponsors

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: keeping this show afloat. Where do I thirty mail even begin?

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm so lost right now. I don't even know how

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: to put things into words or find a good starting point.

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's funny, because you're putting a lot of words

16
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: down right now.

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: I guess it goes with how two months ago my

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: life was exactly where I wanted it to be. You

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: just have that.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I've been with a girl of my dreams twenty seven

22
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: female for the last three and a half years. We

23
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: have a house animals. Both of our families get along beautifully,

24
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: and honestly, the last three years with her and my

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: family and her family around the holidays have been some

26
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: of the most warm, fuzzy memories I've had in my

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: entire life. And believe me, I've been thinking about those

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: times a lot lately. By the way, this comes from

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: Windfall Curse And if you want to spit your own stories,

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: go to the r slash Okay storytime suburt it.

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: I'm Sophia, I'm Dakota, I'm Keon, and we're here.

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: To give good advice.

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Schoof lie, but we don't have all the answers. We

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: only know what we'd do, So let us know what

35
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: you would do in the comments right now. But Op says, so,

36
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: like I said, this problem is going to come in parts.

37
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Because my entire life feels like it's on the brink

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: of completely falling apart. You could probably pay to fix it.

39
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could use all the money you got to

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: glue it together.

41
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: My mother was a very, very wealthy woman. Most of

42
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: my life, she and I did not get along very well,

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: but I started working on the family business roughly five

44
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: years ago, and since then we've actually developed a great relationship.

45
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: It was one of those things where after many years

46
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: of feeling that my mother did not like me, she

47
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: was a last proud of me and not afraid to

48
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: say she loved me and valued me. So you started

49
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: working in the family business, and she was like, this

50
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: is everything I wanted from you.

51
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I just wanted you to be a good worker.

52
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: H Now I can love you without the fear that

53
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: you don't generate games.

54
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: You really were right. I didn't love you before, but

55
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: I do love you in like a way that a

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: boss loves their employee.

57
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: I love the capital gains you're making.

58
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Then last month, in mid March, she passed away. Despite

59
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: our complicated relationship in my early years, I loved my

60
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: mother more than anyone else in the world. I won't

61
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: say much more than that she had a hard life

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: in spite of her wealth, and I feel I could

63
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: write a whole book on a relationship. Anyways, she's gone,

64
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: and my siblings and I are now extremely wealthy, and

65
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I've taken possession of the business and all of her

66
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: investments and property. Sell it all, liquidate that, sell it all,

67
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: and buy a happiness new place. If that isn't scary enough,

68
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm need

69
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: need to do next the business I was associated with,

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: I can hindle, and my siblings and I have really

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: come together on this and they seem to trust me

72
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: with that part of it. But it doesn't wash away

73
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: the hurt and guilt. I feel that I only got

74
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: a few good years with the woman who gave me life. Anyway,

75
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: my plan is to marry my girlfriend by next year,

76
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: and we've already discussed the pre nup situation, which I

77
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: will be getting due to my new found wealth.

78
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: I mean, is it really new found?

79
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was always there.

80
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: You've kind of you've been in it for a while.

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Maybe your girlfriend was planning this all along.

82
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Say, oh, wait a minute. My mom was wealthy my

83
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: whole life and had.

84
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: This I never knew. She's been nothing but wonderful after

85
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: my mom's passing. But the problem comes with her family.

86
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: It always does. Those families always got something to say.

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say, give me all of your money.

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: They go, hey heard you got a rich, rich mom

89
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: who's not on the earth anymore, shuffled off the mortal coil.

90
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Give me your money.

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I won't go into too much detail, but I love

92
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: these people like an extension of my own family, but

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: they have already started trying to pry exactly how wealthy

94
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I am out of my girlfriend. They're like on a

95
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: scal of, Like he can go on a couple trips

Speaker 1: How rich is ope?

00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: He travels to different countries per year on his yacht.

102
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: of zeros? You know? Is it seven? Is it eight?

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: And her mom has always had a gravitational poll towards,

104
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, period schemes.

105
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: She's like, I'll pee, I'll be okay, baby, honey, wrong word.

Speaker 1: You're gonna give me your money and then I'm going

122
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: a fast food job. Terry and his wife have decided

123
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: they will be starting a family soon and stated that

124
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: they want the wife to be a stay at home mom.

125
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: The stock has only recently popped up and been brought

126
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: to my attention, and I feel like I'm being paranoid

127
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: been directed at me, as there is absolutely no way

128
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: they'd be able to afford this on the money they

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: currently make, or even while living in their small apartment.

130
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: They're like, we just really want my wife to be

Speaker 1: To help them out in a situation they are wholly

140
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: unable to handle. Right now, sibling Number two, Leslie, has

00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: four year long absence between girlfriend and Leslie, though prior

145
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: to this the two have always been extremely close, as

00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: Girlfriend is with all of her siblings as throughout their childhood,

147
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: a lot of the time all they had was each other.

148
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: Sibling number three, Casey, who I hardly ever speak to,

149
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: has even started chatting me up on Facebook more than

150
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: she ever has in the entire time I've known her.

151
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Opie starts posting stuff and she's like.

152
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: This is so funny.

153
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys are so cute. Ah, this

154
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: is the best picture I've ever seen.

155
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Best. I wish I had a free bag on money.

156
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: Be a coincidence.

157
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent happening.

158
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: It's happening.

159
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: It's happening.

160
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's happening.

161
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: Guys.

162
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Like the lottery horror stories you hear were people come

163
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: into the woodwork with their hands out when they smell

164
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: money on someone they know.

165
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: Have you seen that meme of the monkey the rangutan

166
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: that does like sticks its hand out.

167
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: It's just no face good, just wants nuts. Except instead

168
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: of giving money, he goes.

169
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Hey, buddy, I'm broke. I want you to give me money.

170
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: I know for a fact my mother, for all of

171
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: her faults, fell victim to this. When she inherited this money.

172
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: She became increasingly bitter throughout her life due to all

173
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: of the husbands and friends that took advantage of her

174
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: for what she could do for them, and eventually alienated

175
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: her own children. I don't want to be like that.

176
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen. It's been less than

177
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: a month that I've had more money than I know

178
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: what to do with, and I'm afraid to spend a

179
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: dime or do anything with it because I feel like

180
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's family is only the beginning. What's worse, and

181
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: will probably make me look like a total craphead, is

182
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: that my girlfriend is already committed to helping Leslie. They

183
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: were close their whole lives, and with all of the

184
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: legal trouble and pregnancy, girlfriend cries at night thinking about

185
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: what's happening to her. She has not asked me to

186
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: help financially or anything, but I have been there every

187
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: step of the way to help support them and her

188
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: as best as I can. But how will look when

189
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: my girlfriend starts giving out her money to people while

190
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't, and I get viewed as a selfish scrooge.

191
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: All of this is too much. The last three years

192
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: were just so wonderful, so many magic trips to the beach,

193
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: wonderful holidays, surrounded by not one, but two families full

194
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: of great people that accepted it and loved me. And

195
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: now it seems like because I lost my mother and

196
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: am getting a windfall because of it, everything is changing.

197
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't get to be happy with my family anymore,

198
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: and my whole life is crashing because of this. I

199
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: know this is so far beyond a first world problem.

200
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Poor baby, he's now a multi millionaire and it's a

201
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: little sad he can't have a happy Christmas.

202
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

203
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, didn't know you were a multi millionaire. Bro.

204
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: You actually just read my mind? What that quote? That

205
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: quote just read my mind. That's how I felt.

206
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Mm hm that is up.

207
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah not really now.

208
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I can't feel that way because you said it.

209
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: I didn't really feel that way. I'm sorry you felt

210
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: that way. I do feel it is a little silly.

211
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: We're all like, what do we do about things that

212
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: haven't happened yet? Stop it.

213
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: Just don't give them money. If you don't want to

214
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: give them money, doctor your girlfriend about it.

215
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

216
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: You already have a prenup.

217
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, what if Opie's Girlfriend's like,

218
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: you're like a multi millionaire in now, could I get

219
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: like a little bit of that?

220
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Could I just get a couple hundred thousand?

221
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: Come work at the business, beb come get your hands

222
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: duty him, work down at the dock doctors And it's

223
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: a docking some kind of do do doc based business.

224
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: But I feel so incomplete. I miss my mom and

225
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: now I feel like everyone is out to get night.

226
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: Oh.

227
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: He's like they're coming everywhere.

228
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: You should convert all of your money into quarters so

229
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: that you can just have them on you and you

230
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: can just like, if people are coming after you fear

231
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: your money, you just throw a handful of quarters at them.

232
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Take it.

233
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: Take this distraction.

234
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Even my girlfriend is getting a little tired of hearing

235
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: me voice my concerns over girlfriend's siblings one through three

236
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: and her mom's sudden extra interest to me, which is understandable.

237
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: They're all very close and stick up for one another.

238
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm even doubting myself and thinking it's all in

239
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: my head, maybe too many times. My mother told me

240
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: all about the time she trusted people and was let down.

241
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm just so lost here. And if you're new here,

242
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: there are multiple parts to this story, so make sure

243
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: to follow us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcasts.

244
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: Let's get back into the story, and we've got an update, folks.

245
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: But what do you think so far?

246
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: Simply don't give them your money.

247
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: It's very easy, and yeah, even if they guilt trip

248
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: you or like, but you have so much you can't

249
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: spare a dime. It's like, okay, yeah.

250
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should. Just you can also just lie,

251
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: just dude, like, no, I actually gave it all away.

252
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I have like fifty thousand dollars I got.

253
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: I gave it all to charity, all right. Or you

254
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: can do the Jim Carey thing allegedly where you get

255
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: some person to pretend to beat you for any family

256
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: gathering where you have to interact with them.

257
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: That is true. That's what that's going around a lot.

258
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: I saw there's maybe an update to that I don't know,

259
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: but not if it's real or not. Jim has spoken.

260
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: Jim has spoken. Update. Last night, I called my sister

261
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: and drove an out to her house and stayed the

262
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: night with her, her husband, and my niece's a nephew.

263
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Over some drinks, she and I started talking about the

264
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: whole situation, and oddly it's the first time we've really

265
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: talked about anything alone without attorneys or my other siblings

266
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: around since my mother passed. Anyway, it turns out she

267
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: isn't as together about everything as I thought she was.

268
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: I showed her the thread and all the replies, and

269
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: both she and I agreed to talk to a financial

270
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: advisor and look into getting attorneys to help us with this.

271
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: She's been primarily working with my mom's attorney up until now.

272
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to look into setting up a trust as well.

273
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Nothing too crazy, but enough that I can give small

274
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: gifts to these people and have a cap on it,

275
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: so to speak, for whenever it does come up. I

276
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: talked to my girlfriend on the phone this morning and

277
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: kind of laid it all out, and she was in

278
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: total agreement. She said she was surprised Casey had suddenly

279
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: started talking to me and that it was very suspicious.

280
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh so now she's okay with the whining. Before she

281
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: was like it was too much, but uh, you're giving

282
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: my family money now, so I.

283
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: You're so yeah, thank god for financial advisors. Right. They're like,

284
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: you can give them this much money, but you don't

285
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: give them any more than that?

286
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: What?

287
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: And we're like, oh my god, how did I never

288
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: think of that?

289
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: Can I do that with my taxes?

290
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

291
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: Good luck?

292
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: Oh no? She said the tea word man chocolatedyite.

293
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: She also said that Terry's wife brought up the kids

294
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: again and was showing her house as they wanted to

295
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: get that were way out of their price range.

296
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: Oh what dispension.

297
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: On the water. Isn't it beautiful?

298
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: And that's an island.

299
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can go. Maybe I'll buy that and you

300
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: can come visit.

301
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: And they're like, that's the house of my dreams. You know,

302
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: be really cool. You paying for my dreams.

303
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: How about I eat your dream and I make it

304
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: my dream and then you can come vacation at my

305
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: dream maybe while I'm there.

306
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: And my girlfriend kind of played dumb and just kept

307
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: asking questions about how they plan to afford all that.

308
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: So I know she and I are for now at

309
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: least on the same page.

310
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Girl friends like, well, that's my money now actually too,

311
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: so I don't know. We we kind of a we're

312
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: an impass here.

313
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: Lastly, when I was talking to my sister last night,

314
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: she said something that both uplifted and destroyed me. We

315
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: were talking about our mom and what a hard butt

316
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: she was, and my sister said that one of the

317
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: last conversations she had with her mom. My mother said,

318
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: you and your brother should trust Opie. He knows what

319
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: he's doing, and I'll make sure everyone is okay. That's

320
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: very sweet, like a little cinnamon bun.

321
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: It's so sweet.

322
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Anyway, thank you all again for all of your comments.

323
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: I feel like a better and stronger person. Just one

324
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: day later and we've got another update. But so far,

325
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: so good.

326
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. So far, I think I could have

327
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: given them way more money. Maybe you mean, yeah, you know,

328
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: it's like the gift that keeps on giving is when

329
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: you give money to them. You know, that's where that

330
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: phrase comes from. So you shouldn't be greedy, and you

331
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: should give them all the stuff.

332
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: That they Dakota is actually one of the siblings.

333
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I'm not.

334
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: I was just looking at an island house.

335
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I am not buying an island that has gone

336
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: out of vogue.

337
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: But we got another update. Hey everyone, So, in an

338
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: attempt to pick up where this post left off, my

339
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: mom had just passed away and I was settled with

340
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot of first world problems. The good I

341
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: managed to invest in crypto with a large chunk of

342
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: my money, and by some miracle entirely out of my

343
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: know how and against the advice of my former financial advisor,

344
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: bought low and sold high. Years later, this made me

345
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: the wealthiest of my siblings by far. Nice big wins,

346
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,479
Speaker 1: Big wins.

347
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, you bought poop coin at the right time.

348
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: Loving this bought low, sold high on dookie coin.

349
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: My sisters and my relationship has grown thick as thieves.

350
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: We sold their mom's company despite some complications, and went

351
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: in on a number of real estate investments together, and

352
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: it's worked out very well. In spite of the p

353
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: she is my very best friend in this world and

354
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: my constant protector as my big sister and all of

355
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: her kids get everything I have. When all is sudden done.

356
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, The not so good I'm divorced.

357
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, oh no. I wonder which reason it was.

358
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what happened?

359
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: What number was it?

360
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: Whose assets did you not purchase for them that made

361
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: her want to leave you?

362
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: She's like, you just didn't give my family enough money.

363
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: I hope that prenup was a airtight Yeah.

364
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: After having the conversation with my girlfriend about inheritance, I

365
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: thought things were improving. We ended up getting married. Cool,

366
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: no expense spared.

367
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, cool for now.

368
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: It turns out, however, that she was not who I

369
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: thought she was. Okay again, if you're new here, this
