ok...here is the situation...this could get really long so i apologize in advance, but i really would like to hear some thought about this.
...and 1 million dollars is on the very, very, very, low end of the spectrum that i'm dealing with here. (i just threw it out as a large number)....i've been told that 1 million is not even close.
my parents are very wealthy CONSERVATIVE texas oil and gas ppl. they are part owners of the first natural gas company to build a mid-stream natural gas pipeline in the marcellus shale area (w.virgina, pensylvania)(company is in texas, and they commute weekly by private plane)
the company was put together from scratch like 2 years ago, and they are now set to sell the company this month for billions. (17 companies have made offers, 4 are being considered)
well i'm one of 5 kids that is about to rcv. a huge amount of money i guess in the form of a "trust fund" or something sim.....as my parents want to share this payday w/ family and charity)
i do not know anything about having lots of money like that....each of us 5 will have to travel individually to texas w/in a cpl months to meet w/ a "wealth mgt. team".
i don't know how trust funds work, i don't know anything but living paycheck to paycheck.
my dad who is the main person behind all this is very conservative as i've said, and is evaluating the 5 of us and making determinations as to how each individuals funds will be set up.
my sis just got out of rehab for drugs and alcohol...so her set-up is gonna be way different than mine, and she's gonna be monitored like crazy.
my parents HATE dreadlocks....so i'm gonna have to cut mine before i meet w/ my family this month at their house in beaver creek, as it will make a difference in what goes down.
....super fucked up that it's like that, but it really is..... and i've been told in no uncertain terms that me showing up w/ dreads is not gonna fly.
...but for my family and especially for my son's sake i'll play the game.
...once everything is ironed out tho....i'm not gonna cut or comb my hair ever again.
...sounds petty and stupid to most i'm sure, but i've had dreads literally half my life (im 39) ...3 dif. times...and wanted this to be my last....i guess ill have to start over again...errrrrrrrrrr!
any advice or thoughts about all that....also i'll clarify anything if needed.
...and please give me advice for how to deal w/ this on my end...like i said i don't have a clue here.

. All I can tell you is "play the game" so to say but also but yourself to a point. You clearly are old enough to make good decisions as i've been lead to believe through posts i've seen you make here. You seem like you got a pretty good grip on things so I tell you trust your instincts. Cut the hair for now and enjoy what few people get to. Maybe diversify some of your funds into small businesses that earn money for you. If you have any kids you can start working on their future also. Take care 1
