Who does he think should pay for his financial problems? The taxpayers? While he is sitting on a chunk of money?
Before you count me as an unsympathetic jerk (ok, I might be) I am also a single father of 3 little girls who lost their mother in a car accident.
Mr. K, you are are not an unsympathetic jerk. That was my first reaction too. And may God bless you and your children.
This guy needs to just buck up, pray and rely on family and hopefully his faith for answers.
She can get disability from SS and Medicare for an in house hospice if she gets real bad.
He will eventually get his money from mom and dad. Prayers for the children.
This is what I do now: I have appropriate insurance in place and am making every effort that I can to be financially independent for the remainder of my life.
I agree. It’s one thing to have sympathy if he has no resources but I can’t sympathize with his desire to sequester any inheritance for some purpose other than paying legitimate creditors.
That’s why I don’t practice so-called “medicaid planning” - the practice of legally giving away all your assets to your kids so it won’t be subject to the “spend down” provisions of medicaid. (Unlike normal estate planning, which is getting rid of money to keep it exempt from death taxes, a completely legitimate consideration).
Thank you...I feel for the guy also, and I understand where he’s coming from. Doesn’t mean I would support his prescription for fixing his problem.
Concur. There are any number of people that feel that they shouldn’t be asked to use their assets to pay for college, healthcare, housing or other things the soicalists have convinced them oaught to be “free”.
