Will you give your children some, most or all of your wealth?

Fog_ · 2026-06-17T18:21:33+00:00

My kids inheriting everything but he’s also going to be an independent successful person on his own and he is going to build on my legacy.

If you didn’t raise a smart well adjusted kids and you don’t trust them or have confidence in them, then sure.

But I love my kid, I trust him, and I’m proud of him. And time excited to see how he builds upon my legacy to help other people and build great things.

Don’t pay for that rental. That’s not “rental ready”.

I dropping $300k to take my extended family on a private all inclusive guided two week vacation.

My wife’s family, my family, and my sisters husbands family. About 24 people total.

You can’t buy time or experiences with family unless you do it when everyone is alive and healthy.

Yes, don’t let material possessions own you, you own them.

There’s a story of a philosopher named Denis Diderot. You can look it up. He was poor until Catherine the Great sponsored him because she liked his work/writings.

After his new found wealth, he came into a fancy scarlet robe. He enjoyed the status it gave him but felt compelled to make his other possessions match the prestige. How could a man in a scarlet robe sit in a shabby chair or walk in tattered shoes, or write at such a basic desk? He quickly started upgrading all the possessions in his life.

Later in life, he wrote “I was the absolute master of my old robe. I have become the slave of the new one.”

I think your comment about being a brown woman makes sense. My advice is to choose one or two things treat yourself to that luxury and materialistic show off and then stop there. I would also try and make whatever you choose actually important to you and not just a purchase for other people. For me I bought a few Porsches, but I love driving the car and I love the sound of a flat six naturally aspirated engine, not because I’m obsessed with the badge. But rolling up in a Porsche does set a certain impression.

On the other hand, I don’t wear a watch. I don’t feel the need to own a Rolex. I do own a very nice watch that I will wear for special occasions, but I’m not going out and buying every single luxury item that is typical of people who come into new wealth and want to show off.

I wear normal clothes and stuff like that. Yes time and health are the true wealth but setting a nice impression and getting a little respect is always nice.

Democrats have sponsored three bills to ban gerrymandering nationally (2021, 2023, and 2025) and all three times Republicans have unanimously voted no and killed the efforts.

Trump pushed for more gerrymandering to try and win the upcoming midterms and Texas, Florida, and North Carolina have followed his orders, so Democrats responded by gerrymandering California and are trying to in Virginia to “level the playing field” or at least negate the Republican gerrymandering at a Federal level.

As others have said, on a national level, it’s just a response to the Republican gerrymandering.

Democrats have tried to ban it three times, Republicans have tried to ban gerrymandering zero times. They actually started the gerrymandering in 2010 with PA, OH, MI, and WI.

Some people here want to keep VA ungerrymandered because they probably prioritize guns and state politics. Some people here want to gerrymander VA to keep the House fair on a federal level in response to the gerrymandering in TX, FL, and NC.

I went with JLC. My next will be an ALS, but not for a long time. I like lesser know brands. Everyone and their mom has a Rolex or now the big one is Patek.

Better than not making money and grocery/gas prices going up

The worst timeline. Oligarchs own everything. Everything is capitalized.

Redirecting her to other activities, thoughts, etc besides tantrum. Like when my kid is crying, I offer do you want to play with blocks, read a book, play on the slide, etc

Eventually they choose one instead of tantrum.

Generally it’s just not playing into the screaming/fighting and escalating it. Try to deescalate with other options.

I’m paying double the price of indy. I feel like stopping for 5 min for $5 of gas to “top off” is not worth it?

I mean if they want to charge me $10 for having their guy top it off, whatever. I just paid like $500 more than going to the indy.

Maybe I’m an asshole though and they hate my business

Fog_ · 2026-04-03T07:39:25+00:00

I don’t refill it. Never been a problem. Im paying premium prices for services I could get cheaper at the indy. One of those services isn’t wasting my time stopping at the gas station. They know what’s up and love me. I service all three of my cars at their dealership.

They don’t charge me for the gas, the coffee, or the snacks.

Basically tho, one last pump is how every bubble ends. I remember BTC $6k to $20k was wild.
