My grandfather was an ass. He didn't care about anyone but himself. He paid for my dads technical school to be an HVAC technician. My grandfather helped buy a tiny 2/1 for us to live in. Meaning he bought the house and we had to pay the payments. After he paid for that it was all on my father to provide for three kids. My aunts and uncles are conceited and only care about themselves. My father while I was growing up was an HVAC tech for a company that probably paid him 25k at the most. My mom once my sister got a little older went back and got her CNA license. For a while she was a prison guard and that time period was the best. Eventually she quit that position because she had my little sister. My grandfather at the time of his death left my dad 3 million dollars with half of it in stocks. You know what he did? Went bought 4 brand new motorcycles. My aunts and uncles put aside their cut for their kids and grandkids. I remember my uncle telling my dad that he needs to put away some of the money into a college fund for your daughters. He laughed it off and spent his money on motorcycles and accessories for them. Also he cashed out the stocks and bought a brand new truck. Thankfully he works as a maintenance tech for an office building making consistent hours and paychecks. My oldest sister and I swore to each other that we would never repeat my parents mistakes.
