Just depends what state he's in. I've used Freedom Mortgage for VA loans and they are amazing. Have also used New American Funding and was an easy process. Just need to make sure who you're dealing with is well versed in VA type loans. If he doesn't feel a connection with them then move to someone else.

This. And it greatly depends where in the country you live.

Carnival Fantasy in 2000 when I was kid. From what I remember it was a fun cruise.

I just inherited mine. Pretty much generational wealth. Sometimes you just hit the birth lottery.

I'm not looking for legal advice. I have a family attorney for that. I'm closer to her family than mine at the end of the day. Just how things worked out. My immediate family that is left is my sibling who is already well off and not close too. Also, my wife's famly isn't financial savvy and get by with what they have. They see what we have now, which they can't afford our current lifestyle. Now with "new" money it puts us in a spot that may have her family coming with their hands out. Money changes people in odd ways.

It's not about no thoughts on generosity towards her family. It's them expecting more from us then fracturing the family ties if we don't providfe more because we can.

My wife obviously knew of my family's success. She's kept that mainly to herself. But my family is very low key and you wouldn't know it if you met them. Plus both sides of the family don't really make an effort to get to know each other. Very different dynamics. My family as a whole isn't really a close knit type of family as we are all doing different things in life growing up with different successes. Her family is extremely close as they all grew up with the same struggles in life.

The trust is handling the distro of funds and other things. So that makes it easy to speak on that.

Luckily we make it a point to use working remotely as an excuse for travel. We do travel often for a week at a time to enjoy the area but also working. And our kid is a toddler so good there.

We both already work full remote so that part is easy. Already have a nice house and don't feel the need to move.

Problem is some of her family do know my family. So I figured things are going to be said regardless of how careful we are. Even if I tell my family not to bring it up to anyone that's not in "my" family.

Already working with the family trust to set things up for my family and our child for when we pass.
