The next 50 years

I am really skilled at being frugal.  martha stewart could learn from me. I've been occasionally thinking how will I handle it having access to a lot of funds for a short time?  I mean, my usual approach is turn the liquid assets into life assets that save me money over the long term since my income generating has always been sketchy.  So I prefer to have the money get spent on making life cheaper for awhile or enabling me to do more things, .ike a good tool I know how to use and that can improve quality of life or generate income, for example. I'm not spending for ego. That's what gets a person in trouble. I did for a  couple years when Dan was earning a fair bit, and still I didn't buy things to compete with the joneses or inspire envy. I did spend more than I needed to on feeling like someone who had money, and also thinking this money earned me some kind of entry to society.  I didn't labour under that delusion very long, but it had the biggest effect on my ...

So I am realizing my sister really has got a lot of reason to straighten up and fly right regarding the estate. That house exists. It's half mine. She has the dosh to buy me out with the stroke of the pen because you bet she used the time with Mom in her house to bleed the estate dry of liquid and minor assets. Installed her kid in the house, sold off the stuff, you know, 'coverinng expenses."  Which is not going to look good in an audit. Especially for someone who's lifelong career was based on fiduciary trust. Not a good look if it happens and if a lawyer finally listens to me and starts litigation, the chances of an audit skyrocket. It's not only her reputation, but oh boy, it includes criminal charges and all that nasty arrest stuff and court time. Then it's very expensive one way or another, even if you don't have to book in for a few weeks or months stay. Even more cute, no limit on litigation even if it takes me more than 12months or 18mos, ther...

I am still waiting on news about my mother's estate.  Still the only last word is my sister insisting mom was practically bankrupt and anyway gave it all to her.  Still cannot get so much as help navigating the court website to request information. I did see a thing online that in some country, maybe canada, she could go to jail even years later for this.  That renewed my hope she will cave and follow through with her legal obligations.  But for  now, I am still rotting in the street slowly getting worse and worse and worse. My hernia now stops me doing anything if I can make the choice not to.Just getting up to piss has it falling out and trying to rip the skin apart further.  I'm always tired and depressed anymore. Today a woman was telling about her chronic pain history.  How her dad would bring her a hot toddy in bed to help with the pain.  I realized, Dad didn't give a shit about me ever.  Not once.  Never in the history of his life...
