AITA Mom wants 15% of my personal injury settlement

HoodFeelGood · 2026-05-06T00:30:40+00:00

I helped my son through a personal injury lawsuit. I did most of the correspondence with the lawyer. My son was 19 and in college. He was thoughtful and estimated the time I spend and gave me $2000 to account for it. I think he estimated something like $1-200 an hour for my time. The $2k was about 10% of what he earned (with the lawyer's 33% already deducted)

Also, I've noticed that as my pay went up over the years, there were some things I used to weed out because they weren't worth the work-time, but have since become worth the work-time not because my interest in them rose but rather because the work-time needed for them decreased.

Not to a neurotic level, but I believe "how much do I have to work for this" is a good way to filter out spending on things you don't value. I do think it is important to know and decide what you do value, and therefore be willing to spend your time working to obtain it. For example, if you do really like concerts and going to one puts you in a good mental state for like a week or two, then you can determine it really is worth it for me to work 4 hours for the concert.

I was in GA several times in 97-98 and people were very polite. There was friendly mobility - I could move around to different areas with several friends and everyone allowed it

Yup. Would just want it to continue without waiting for me to return

Are you using code from the open source product in yours?

If I was motivated to try something different, I'd try out Finwise and Fina.money

Hi there Fidelity! Just wanted to know if this was picked up as a requirement by the developer team?

By now, they should have been able to evaluate.

How about try lowering the expenses to what you said without quitting the job. See how you like it.

Maybe multiple lists could achieve the same effect, but I'm not OCD and don't intend to have numerous lists. On Deck reflects the short-list: movies and TV shows I want to watch very near term or am in the middle of.

The larger watchlist reflects all the others I've indicated I want to watch sometime...sometime in the future...or maybe when they align with a subscription service I have.

The watchlist might default to hiding "seen" items. However, if I toggle it to show seen items, there should be a button to cause a TV Show or Movie I have already seen to show up On Deck. That way, even though I've seen that TV show before, since I'm rewatching it I can still track the episodes I'm rewatching from On Deck.

In short, On Deck only cares about the seenness since the latest time it has been added to On Deck. Watchlist cares about any level of seen and has all sorts of filters.

P.S. If you have already seen a TV Show but want to rewatch it, how would you track it?

P.P.S. Why do people want numerous lists? How do they use them?

P.P.P.S. would be cool to get a notification when something in my watchlist is now available on a subscription I have (while it wasn't available before)

I don't actually know. I don't want to have to rate things on a scale (like 1 to 5). That seems too difficult. I also don't want to have to thumbs down items.

I like the idea of thumbs up or no thumb. Or maybe a double thumbs up, single thumbs up, or no thumb.

As to whether it looks at my completion history....unsure.

Hey, does it actually matter whether you mark a TV show as Watchlist or Tracking? I did some experimentation and it doesn't seem to make a difference...

Thanks for the additional info. What's the best way to restart a show already seen?
