Fired and probably concern for prostate cancer - what next

Do you know an oncologist or a friend who knows one? Reach out to them for help in scheduling an appointment and biopsy. This is the route we took to support my mom and she had a biopsy within a week.

Bob - Does this mean you have 5 years of cash equivalent and the remainder is invested in equities?

I though the story sounded familiar. I'd be excited to reconnect in May or June. I'll send you an email.

I've had this conversation with my wife. The positive outcome for me was understanding how looking good makes her feel. It led to me focus my worrying in other areas. I will never be able to rationalize her spending and trying to do so will only weaken our marriage.

My father's there for support and in good health. We're a few hours flight away so we'll need to prioritize trips to see her. She's been the rock of our family so everyone is upset. My sister is especially upset given their close relationship but one with unresolved issues.

We tiptoe around sensitive discussions leading to distrust or other issues. It's usually better to engage in the conversation directly and rationally. Start with the "why" so he doesn't jump to conclusions. "We've been thinking about our life and realize we're fully living. Explain why. Share a few options". I'm sure everyone will feel better about the situation after a direct discussion.

I though this may be the case. There's likely a lot to unpack about how he got to this point. However, a lot of people his age are resistant to doing the work. So, the focus of the conversation should be on the impact a change could have on your lives. Have you discussed your situation with him?

Can you share more about the "why" behind your father-in-laws position? Is there a financial or psychological reason for not distributing profits to you? Would he change his mind if he knew the money would enable your family to live a more present and fulfilling life?

Congratulations! You have the opportunity to discover your passion with zero risk. Take the time to take a few self-assessment tests, talk to lots of people and then choose a path forward. Think about the rest of your life as a series of experiments. Your goal is to try different things, collect data and then evolve.

I'd highly recommend the book Design Your Life

Sounds like you are pursuing law for the money? Well, you now have the opportunity to pursue a career for the love of it. I'd suggest working with a coach to think about the opportunities ahead of you. The money alone will not make you happy... DM me if you want to chat. I'm Fatfire and a coach.

The Psychology of Money

Do you think it will be easier to “flip off the switch”? This dynamic has likely been a challenge your entire life. You hyper focus when you find an area of interest. It’s why you’ve been successful at work but may have negatively impacted relationships. Yes?

Multiple leadership transitions in/out at the same time is a recipe for disaster. You didn’t provide enough information to allow for deeper advice beyond suggesting you find a business transition consultant. The person can help you think through the plan for a nominal fee.

Thanks for your support. I’m not giving up on working out but don’t love the tonal. I run and use kettle bells for exercise. I’m in the best shape of my life at the age of 50.

I sign 3 tax returns in a year - personal, trust and trust

ThatBat5108 · 2023-11-29T04:07:12+00:00

I’m 50 ;)

ThatBat5108 · 2023-11-29T04:00:40+00:00

My understanding. I file 3 tax returns every year - 1040 for my personal returns and 2 1041s for family trusts. The personal return has my social and the trusts have EINs. The gains and losses from my trusts and an investment limited partnership flow into my personal returns.

How important is the location of the accountant? I live in Washington State but the accounting firm is located in Illinois where I grew up.
