you don't know me son.
I don't think this guy is lying, or that most people here want to see him fail. I don't. I want to see him succeed in escaping the hell his parents set up for him. My parents aren't rich but I can relate about parents trying to control their kids life and basically preventing them from growing up.
My life sucked for 10-15 years until I finally got out from under my dad's thumb. He "gave" me a place to live on his land out in the country, except it wasn't mine, and I had to live under his and my bitch stepmom's rules. You just don't really understand how draining such a situation can be on you until you finally escape from it. It dragged me down and prevented me from growing up.
I also knew a guy, cousin of a friend of mine, who was a similar situation, except it wasn't his parents who were rich, it was his fiance. She was part Cherokee and got paid like $10k/month from a casino. They got married and bought a big house in a fancy neighborhood, which I visited just after they moved in. They had the biggest TV I've ever seen; bitch had to have been like 80".
Probably about 6 months later is when the dude shot himself with a .357.
Basically, I'm saying don't go down this road. The key to that is :
1) learn some self respect. Do you want to keep the dreads? If so, tell parents to fuck off. Their money would be nice, but it's not worth compromising yourself over.
2) If they decide not to give you the money because of that, then you're better off. Move to Alaska and do all those things you dreamed of; you only have so long to live.
3) If they do come to their senses and agree that they should stop controlling your life, and decide to give you the money, DON'T leave it in the hands of wealth managers. Learn to manage it yourself, via LOTS of reading, study, and discipline. It's hard, but you can do it, and not only will you respect yourself 100x more in the end, others will too. Oh, and ditch any "friends" who get pissed off or upset when you won't give them shit for free.
What could you do with all that much money? Most fools would just blow it on vacations and such. You can read that mindset in numerous responses to this thread. (Agreed with TMB--it's fascinating to see the psychology behind various people's thinking in this thread.) A better idea is to invest it in assets that will make you money. Don't rely on "wealth managers" to do that, because they will manage you straight into the poor house. You must learn these skills for yourself if you want to truly be a man who is in control of his own destiny. The good news is all the information is out there....so get to learning!

Me too, I'm the rational mastermind to a T. My mom is an ISTJ, the inpector type and my dad is a ISTP the Crafter type.
Have you figured your parents out?
My Mom is a retired teacher and is a real cold old bitch at heart. My dad is a retired maintenance electronics repairman. My dad can fix anything.
My issues right now with them is that my dad is getting sick. Mom won't cook for the diabetic diet and just doesn't get the glycemic index. They don't listen to me at all. I'd like to see them sell the house and get into an appartment but that house is thier life and will be the death of them.
My dad's been falling down and has been fairly ill for the past year. My mom is such a bitch and now she has the dominate role over my dad because he's sick, she's on a power trip.
i have 1 other handle ...don't even remember it tho ...it's mtn_goat or something like that. (made it when i was banned once upon a time)
...ask s4l.
btw...i don't have time to pretend to be anyone but me.
quite an interesting response from an alaskan friend:
I'd go as you and see what they offer. Personally I don't like being accountable to others for my basic necessities. I would have to live with the resentment and that would eat me. That said. They have obviously caused you and your sibling(s) some grief and while they don't owe you anything it could be looked at as compensation (think of it as a shallow apology) for that. The real question is what feelings would you be living with by compromising to accept their "apology" wrapped up in money. If you could compromise with an open heart accepting their fallibility and need for control knowing you'd benefit for your own family then it might be worth it. Idk if that helps or not. I don't think accepting money by compromising (unless it was an immoral compromise) makes you any less admirable. It's more about what feelings you have wrapped around it. Xx
PS I might be able to find a way to accept it...I've never been given the opportunity.it's a blessing to have the opportunity even if you turn it down.

First world problems,it all makes perfect sense now.Stay away from the bottle and old nasty FB bitches.
What a trade off,character for an unfulfilled life...I imagine your folks hoped you'd have some by now.Little did they know.Sucks that you'll never understand what it means to be your own man.
Sorry bout your illness,but the part where you say they paid for this, and paid for that because it was in their best interest is extremely telling...you don't need to be a liar to be an idiot.

I remember thoughts of sliding down the rusty blade of anonymity. IMO, a remote lifestyle is the last thing you need.
