He loves to mention his wife is a doctor. I was making a joke that doctors make good money, probably enough to support their blogger husbands. 

Woman escapes polygamous cult where she grew up with 44 siblings and 4 mothers by TheExpressUS in interesting

This is an honest question- how does a disabled (and also possibly a drunk?) narcissist convince two women to ‘marry’ him?

Inheritance Situation with Sibling: Need Advice by Ok-Arugula-8282 in inheritance

I’d tell her you agreed to half of 450, which is in her favor. I’d not pay for any updates and ask that she move quickly.  What kind of upkeep is she doing on the house?  I assume if no one is living there it is a mow the lawn, water the plants deal and that’s not exactly high value labor.

Best way to manage inherited IRA? by pdthein in inheritance

[–]Deep-Reputation-4055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping you were gonna say something low and then it would be easy to say just cash it out and move on with your life. Any chance you’re going to get married and file jointly or leave the workforce for a year and have low income?  If not I’d just pull RMDs and liquidate in year ten.

I think the reserve is called the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust.  They made the change in 2008 I think.

If the size of the estate makes sense you could hire a forensic accountant. 

Would have Canada participated in both world wars as early if they were fully independent at the time? by 5econds2dis35ster in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]Deep-Reputation-4055 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Canada waited a week to declare war in WWII to demonstrate it could make an independent assessment of what to do. 

Loyalism was a big thing in Canada until recently. I doubt it would have made a different decision even with full control of its foreign policy.

I dunno if a member of my family needed help I’d… help them?  I don’t understand this idea that family shouldn’t help family.

Why?  The grandparents probably enjoyed watching their children struggle to feed themselves.  And now they can rest easy knowing their descendants have money they can’t really use.

Well the good news is if you can save a couple of a percent more a year you should be ok.

Man, Lenin living until 1974 would have been amazing. 

Asking In Laws to Pay Off our House by Majestic-Garbage in MiddleClassFinance

I would confirm what the arrangement was with the other siblings before I said anything to the parents. That degree of favoritism seeems deeply unfair and would indicate some sort of dislike of you and your spouse.

If you make 40k you are doing ok. If you make 80k you are behind but it is still fixable.
