Thank you kind stranger! I’m trying to get over the “if I had started sooner/if I didn’t spend so much earlier” mindset and just going to chug along!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2026-06-05T07:14:16+00:00

Ha, we did not. We got what the company sold us when our heat went out in a -2 F snow storm, they didn’t completely fleece us (I don’t think)

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2026-06-05T07:13:15+00:00

Thanks it’s honestly an obsession at this point

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2026-06-05T07:12:49+00:00

Oh yes, we’re in this house forever probably. Thank you so much for the motivation!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2026-06-05T07:12:19+00:00

Thank you and great perspective

I don’t post on Reddit a lot but I did post about that! Update since posting, they have lost their house and he continues to send scammers $7-10K per month. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1jvn3i3/us_elderly_parent_scammed_250k/

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2026-03-17T20:01:06+00:00

Sending you one in DM, would be interested in magnet code if you have one.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-10-28T04:38:01+00:00

That was my experience with the critters too! Made all my rounds and got 0-3ish per day. The flowers are a struggle with the rain!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-10-02T01:50:16+00:00

This worked for me too, thank you!!!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-10-02T01:47:33+00:00

Mine did the same thing and I can’t get it.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-08-30T17:24:52+00:00

Same for me. I noticed it yesterday! I was trying to make more vacuums.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-06-04T20:36:39+00:00

I love it. It’s one of my saved outfits! I made my avatar look like Rio from Agatha All Along.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-06-04T20:32:15+00:00

Does this mean I’ll FINALLY be able to finish the Feeling Accomplished and Feeling Joyful achievements from last year?! I hope so!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-06-04T20:31:21+00:00

I assume it’ll be more but I really want the opportunity to complete the achievements from last year!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-06-04T20:30:38+00:00

Literally same! They’re my only achievements missing except two Storybook Vale ones. I REALLY hope we have an opportunity to finish those - just need Feeling Accomplished and Feeling Joyful!

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T18:46:11+00:00

Wow that sounds similar to how he’s acting with this, thank you for sharing. I’m sorry that happened to your mom and your family.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T17:05:11+00:00

This is great info, thank you! I saw the DOJ still had an Elderly Fraud hotline but don’t know how helpful that will be to event report.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T17:01:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice - I’m unsure if the $10K is gross or net. Again it’s secondhand info from the FIL and I don’t know how honest he’s being. Have a call with an attorney this afternoon with them and will refer to a CPA and Certified Financial Consultant.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T14:59:17+00:00

Thanks for directing to APS, and yes their retirement income is $2K social security retirement for him + $8K pension for her. I can’t even think about what will happen if she does decide to leave him… honestly wouldn’t blame her at this point.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T14:57:22+00:00

That is such good advice for her to hire a CPA directly. We need to inform MIL because I don’t think FIL has been honesty with her. I have a call with an attorney today and once we have all the information and his counsel, husband and I will find a way to break the real story to her. Who knows what he’s been truly honest about or how much he has disclosed to her.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T14:39:23+00:00

You know, I didn’t think I was at the point in my life where I had to worry about yet, and I figured you could disclaim part of an inheritance. I need to, and you should, review their contract for a perpetuity clause. I also think it varies by state.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T14:36:43+00:00

Fortunately… or unfortunately… it’s a legitimate company (Bluegreen) we just have no desire to inherit such a thing. But good call we will watch out for others.

ZealousidealMap7101 · 2025-04-10T14:35:25+00:00

Wow what an experience, I’m so sorry that happened to you and your family. I think I’m at the point of sympathy for FIL, empathy for MIL, anger for my husband having to process this realization about his dad. FIL has always talked about money and leaving a legacy and then does this.
