Default OT Family Argument

Anyone want to give their opinion if I give the details?

And it does involve money (mine not yours).

This ng is never short of opinions. Whether they are all worth listening
to is of course another matter. ;-)

Don't bother with the details - we never read them anyway.

I'm sure you'll still get plenty of opinions without them.

Due to top posting and random signatures going weird, I read that as "Brian

Tell 'em if they _really_ want it when you're dead, they better be damn
nice to you now.

If they want it while you're still alive they better be even nicer ...

The trick is to become penniless on the day you die, I wish I knew how to do
it.

Easy DIY solution: carry all you own with you in cash; and wander about
a bit at night around here or in Brixton, Toxteth etc etc. I assure you
the option to die and be penniless will present itself to you before
long, albeit you *may* have to help a little by not handing the money
over when asked.

You could pay all your money to a hitman. Though that's probably not the
way you'd want it to end.

You could donate everything to a charity in your will if you hate your family that much - do you really hate ALL your family? And you can give money to a friend, it doesn't have to a be a relation of course.

I'm suggesting that if you have a "nest-egg", spending the last few quid on
the last day of your life is the target
Y'know, maybe enjoying your money in a linear fashion until its all gone on
the final day.

It is not usually possible to predict the last day with any degree of accuracy.

I spy an underwriter's opportunity there.
He gives you a wedge, you spend it and he gives you some more every
month until you pop your clogs. Size of wedge and payments depend on
your age and state of health.
In return for which, you sign over your house, car, etc. [1]
Some will live too long of course [2] but over the long run if the
actuary is right, the underwriter should be quids in.

[1] Those house buying schemes were on the right track, but depended
heavily on a rising market.

I have made a will. At least I will not be around when that argument starts
(should I die before my Mother)

Family + money = answer is it'll end in tears.

But by all means go on to give the detailed question(s)
