DEAR GOD.

And you

Help everyone I know out.

you are obviously a nice person and well meaning, but giving people money does not help them and they will bug you for years afterwards.

I'm close to that league and I was an asshole when i was young and poor. I'm still pretty much an asshole unless you have a sense of humor.

I'll tell you a story. Long ago I was playing blackjack and was about to run out of money. Dealer had a 5 and I had an ace. I didn't have the money to double down, old guy next to me said you got to double down on that here's the chips. I won. Then went on to win $300 which at the time was a lot for me. Later on in life I was down in the islands and a guy was in the situation as I was long ago. Time to pay a debt back, I gave him the money to double down. he won BTW. Ended up with $50 after a few hands and ran for it. LOL.

The point of this story is you need to pay back your debts if you can. I played little league baseball and my neighbor's son played with me. He owned a landscaping company and he didn't like our infield so one day he brought the boys and built us a new infield. I'll pay that back some day, my son is 4 so we have a few years.

I don't think it's life changing but if you make some money, pay your old debts off.

Donate to the no kill shelters for dogs and cats.
Donate to the injured combat veterans, for rehabilitation and prostetics.
Keep my real job. Quit my part time job.
Have a indoor rifle range constructed.
Hmmm. Nothing else comes to mind. I'm a simple man with simple pursuits.

it is funny you say that! i read covergirls post and relived the horror of "helping" people out, how they hounded me for years!!! i was able to help my paternal grandmother out as she had a 11k year ss income! i paid all of her bills for several years. ( much to her chagrin, she was prideful)

You're a really good bro. My grandmother raised me...my older brother as well. She was offered a full ride to get her MBA 23 yrs ago but she couldn't because my mom got pregnant as a really young teen...twice lol. So she sacrificed her career and worked 2 jobs to put us through private school. She's like an angel on earth. I can't wait for that time where I'm able to help her out one day. Must be the best feeling in the world. Way to help out your grams. Infinite respect broly.

Would still work just the same as I do now. LOVE my job and wouldn't trade it for anything. Would probably rest a little easier at times with the additional $$ but would much rather have the people and other things surrounding me that really bring comfort and genuine happiness than any amounts of $$. When it's all said and done, you can't take it with you. Everyone leaves their legacy and money generally has nothing to do with that.

I could have wrote this myself.

I'm selfish I know...I'd build a beautiful home in the mountains complete with a fully functioning "play" dungeon. A girl's gotta have some fun
