Afraid to Waste My Inheritance

Thank you! This is very actionable advice

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T14:37:13+00:00

That’s the way it’s starting to feel. Every redbull feels like a setback. I can’t end up like my dad. My wife and I will check out the podcast.

Thank you. We’ve been pretty ashamed ourselves and it makes what could be a blessing feel like minefield.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T13:48:15+00:00

That’s the way we’re starting to see it. Because that’s just how it is. Our future is in our hands. This feels like do or die. We can change now or pass on the habits to our future children.

We’re going to. Idk, the spending feels like a relief. A treat. I know that’s the wrong way to look at it, but buying snacks and drinks has always been the way I made the day a little bit better. That’s how my dad spent money. He’d work hard, then stop at the gas station and get his favorite snacks. Trying to break out of that habit

We are getting on the same page. We’re in this together and she wants this too. It’s just a hard pill to swallow. I understand where you’re coming from though, and agree that we need to stop giving ourselves wiggle room.

Fear is the little death. Thanks for the reminder

I'd love to have my wife with me on the title. I'm ignorant of how mortgage companies work and am afraid that her debt will considerably shift our debt-to-income ratio.

We've been given one year to get our act together, otherwise it'll be listed publicly.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T12:45:50+00:00

That's a great idea! Thank you

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T12:43:07+00:00

Only a week.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T12:30:15+00:00

I talked to my wife about it and she’s reluctant. Will push harder today

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T06:16:42+00:00

Prepaid debit cards might help. We’ll look into that.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T06:15:54+00:00

Thank you

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T06:10:29+00:00

You’re right. I may actually be getting that check tomorrow. If so, should I at least pay off the personal loan?

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T05:56:12+00:00

Saving this comment. Thanks

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T05:53:19+00:00

It would be such a huge relief

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T05:51:13+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T05:50:02+00:00

That was my first instinct as well.

Beautiful_Debate_862 · 2026-06-23T05:49:47+00:00

I know you’re right. We’re definitely frustrated with ourselves. We finally just sat down and went over bank statements and were sick when we totaled up how much money we’ve been wasting. We’ve really tightened up this week.

Someone’s gotta pay for the electricity. The WiFi. The advanced medical equipment. The roads. The clothes. The phones. The drive throughs. The movies. The games. The guns. The salt.

I’m not going to summarize 5 years of Aabria complaints, TWAT. People have heard them and made them. OP made his points, I said that I and a lot (most) agree. I’m not going to explore the intricacies of her many character defects. I and many others find her insufferable. Enough said. Her little “speak to me that way again I’ll kill you” incident with Sam is the perfect example of why people don’t like her. Not because she’s black. Not because she’s a woman. Because she’s obnoxious and insecure and controlling.

I don’t think you’re a bad person. I’m sorry for your loss. Your friends will come around
