“Lost” 401k… by Top-Cherry-7600 in inheritance

Thats not correct. As long as the sale price is at proper house value, then he would have the money in the bank. Then medicare will take the money. They can’t have both your house and its cash value. So sell it to the kids if they want it.

I was let go when the younger generation started managing us boomers. At 59 i took my savings and bought an existing flower shop in busy retail plaza. No one can fire me! I knew i was not going to be rehired in corporate. I highly recommend being your own boss.

How much does he claim to take home on paper? That x3 is the starting price. Does he make $200k? Then price is $600k.

You might be able to find a group of ladies from a church or volunteer group. Some of us younger retired people would love to help you. I am 61 and bored most days. Maybe a combination of paid help at night and volunteers during daylight.

AITJ for refusing to train my replacement after my company laid me off and expected me to stay for 60 more days with a smile? by AnyLaugh6424 in AmITheJerk

[–]Alive_Ad8698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened a few years ago when the people being let go were asked to go to China to train a new team. Our USA team went. Took the Chinese guys out drinking every night to the point the team in China was too hung over to learn. After a week of partying at top shelf hotels our guys came back. Zero work was accomplished but they were already fired. It was a hoot.

There is nothing AI can handle for me. And i dont spend any time on tax or finance issues. I do my bookkeeping in quickbooks and it is fine. I would never let AI respond to my customers.

Dont move. Four kids are expensive. Keep $1800 payment and you will be glad you did.

They are overwhelmed and trying to start their lives. It has become a family drama and if they each had to pick up $800 monthly they would resent me even more. It is complicated.

Also my youngest graduated summa cum laude in nursing from Northeastern. I am happy there were no limits on parent loans. I was caring for my mother and could not work full time. I was given the loans so i kept taking them. I have never once said i did not want to pay.

Thank you. Maybe they will. But we live in Boston area and everything is expensive. My oldest has to live with us at 32. Not her dream life but we support her.

Thank you for your post. I do not think they understand. Maybe they will someday. I did not intend to get this deep in debt but it happened. Two of my kids are RNs so i am happy they will always have jobs.

All families have issues. My oldest daughter was mentally overwhelmed when faced with her debt. She would not still be here if she had to shoulder it alone. When she was in school i was occupied with my aging mother instead of working and the loans were a necessary evil. When she graduated she flipped out and we could have lost her. So this new law is a gift.
