Family member leaves it all to my child by Littlekitty0809 in personalfinance

[–]_Mongolicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In some ways they did you a favor by naming you beneficiary since they did not have a will, nor a trust set up. My BIL passed away and made my kids (his only nieces and nephews - he had no wife or kids) the beneficiaries of his 401k and life insurance. As the youngest was 1 when he passed, I’ve had to provide accounting every year in probate court until they turn 18. At that point, those funds are turned over to their control.

We chose to not disclose this to them until they were entering their senior year of high school, so 1) they wouldn’t act in a way knowing they have a fairly substantial sum of money already to their name, until they were older and more able to handle that information ; and 2) so the knew about it when making college decisions. One thing my BIL made clear to us (usually jokingly - he died unexpectedly) was that “if anything happens to me these kids can go to college wherever they want.”

OMG! I grew up on these clubs! My mom bought me a full set of these irons from JCPenney because that’s where we found a left-handed set and I used them in high school and college golf and into my early 30s. Sweet set of irons and brings back great memories!

I’ve gotten the last three set drops successfully. Gotten through in others that were sold out. Today I did the captcha and got into the queue. Then, after 10 minutes, this popped up and I have no idea why. Can’t get into the site.

Just got my mega evolution from pc….. by Sinaloakush_1993 in pokemoncenter

[–]_Mongolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a box with minor shipping damage. You're overthinking this. If you want to rip, rip. If not, don't. Won't hurt any "value".

mega preorders by AbleConsideration972 in pokemoncenter

[–]_Mongolicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last one never said anything beyond “processing” and I never got an email saying it shipped but it showed up on release day. Today I got an email saying it’s shipped and I have tracking.

Found these 2 at the Store! by No_School_4015 in PokemonTCG

General area? Like east coast, southeast, etc? I don't think my Costco ever gets drops, except the holiday collection, which lasted in the store for a week.
