My fathers sister has died and she was rich. She had no children and her husband died years ago. Her only relatives were my brother and I. We talked often about her money and will and always wondered how much money she had. Both my brother and myself are in the will and will be getting about a million dollars after her assets are distributed. Much of her assets are in farm land, which will take a while to sell........

There is a spring in my step, I have been smiling a lot and have lots of ideas how what I can do with the rest of my life, now that I am going to be set financially........

Keeping it classy as always.

I just hope the aunt in question died without knowing that relatives were/are rubbing their hands in glee. May she rest in peace.
 
Didn't you post this on city-data a while back? Maybe it was your cousin.
 
It could be that the op is feeling more free to be honest with their feelings then a lot of people are as we are in an anonymous place on the web. The sad reality is a lot of people, and I stress A LOT, care more about the money than the person who just died. Or at least care more about the money than they publicly admit. However, among friends and relatives they act like a grieving relative. I have seen many sad sad situations at work so I speak with a fair amount of authority on the subject.

Yes, 12 threads, mixed up personal statistics, no verification, story changes, immediate life changing events, etc. Do you really believe everything you read on the internet? :D

I just had to check on the OP to make sure she was not the disturbed lady on a couple of other forums who made outrageous claims and created a family of sock puppets.
 
For those intrigued by the city-data idea - not hard to find considering uses the same OP name, pretty much identical stories from there about being forced out at 60, now 61, etc... all 4 years ago.

Yes, we've been had.

OP...for shame. Your original thread had a lot of people truly concerned for you, and spending their time going out of their way to point out ways you could help yourself. Some folks invested real time and thought, and actually worried about you. I hope they are generous with the next person in dire straits who seeks genuine help here.

Well, it's a bittersweet situation. I would gladly give my inheritance back to have my parents again (if they were healthy.) I loved them very much. The inheritance did change my life and I feel very grateful to have received it. I did feel a bit of (survivor?) guilt in taking the money.

I plan on paying for my great nieces college and hopefully will leave more than what I inherited to my niece and nephew. I see my niece and nephew every few years, they live about two thousand miles away. They probably won't grieve too much at my passing, but I'm sure the money will help them out.

Here: Retired Early? Are you ibitter about being pushed out of the labor market? (pension, supplement) - Retirement -Social Security, age, moving, relocation, finance, savings, early, hobbies, nursing homes - City-Data Forum

In that iteration he had already moved and received his inheritance:

"Now I am 62, have moved to a very inexpensive town and have a financial plan and money from a recent inheritance to survive until the lord takes me home. I am officially retired from the world of paid work!"

Someone needs to be forced to go traveling, perhaps.

And yes and thank you to all the people who are caring enough to offer carefully considered advice to him--the fact that this is most likely a sad individual in many ways doesn't make your efforts wasted or make us suckers. The troll mirror reflects stupidity in only one direction, back on the troll.

Well, at least the posts we made will likely be read by others truly in the same spot and needing financial advice. It is not an uncommon situation for older workers nearing retirement age to have trouble finding employment (except for the large inheritance part).

According to the O.P., he also received an inheritance from at least one parent so that could be the earlier reference. The O.P. may or may not be a troll but so far I'm not convinced there's conclusive proof one way or another.

I read his first post on city-data a couple of times to see if it was a similar enough writing style or not to claim foul. I couldn't make a decision one way or another until I got to his second post on page 3 and conclude that we have ringer!

I can't say that. I left the world of work in a whimper with my head between my knees crying.

Very unique type of reveal that was also on display here after one of the conversations with the property management company.

Really? Same story from 5 years ago, clinched by using the same handle? You're not convinced?

The shame is that when someone comes here with a legit hard luck story, some will be reluctant to believe them because of a pathetic person like this who trolls the board.

Forced,
Have you actually seen or posses a copy of the written will? Is there an assigned Personal Representative/Executor identified in the will?

You should be able to monitor the Probate court located in the county of your late Aunt's residence to see when a Probate case is opened for her by the PR.

In my state once the Probate has been opened, the Personal Representative is duty bound to notify all the devises/beneficiaries & heirs with a copy of the will. The next major event will be that the PR will need to share with the court a list of assets and valuations so that the appropriate probate fee may be calculated.

I'm now expecting an OP reply with a series of reasons as to why many of the above won't work or are 'complicated'.

Seriously... A spring in his step after his aunt died? She should have left the money to her favorite charity.

The more I read his posts the more I think [-]troll[/-] arse.

Here, I fixed that for ya !
 
I think we encountered a wormhole, and ran into 2012 version of OP.
All posts perfectly understandable now.

I inherited $600 when my Grandmother died. Used it to pay Community College tuition. Great investment.
I suggest OP buy a boat big enough to live on, a real impressive sized boat... Great marinas in Alexandria.

Despite the fact that this whole thread is a joke, I wonder if you can really save any significant money by living in a marina in Alexandria? Everything there is so expensive I suspect (with no real proof) that it would still be significantly cheaper to live in an apartment in Richmond than on a boat in the DC area. Just curious.
 
Harley,

My interpretation of Gravity's comment to buy a big boat in a nice marina to save money was that it was a sarcastic comment to Forced based on the history of this whole thing.

I'm in your exact position after Aunt Virginia died @ 99 years and 9 months on earth. She never went anywhere or took any pleasures in life--and she took $125K in 1965 and turned it into $3 million after living expenses.

Such an inheritance allowed me to buyout my sister's half of our lake house, payoff a car and small mortgage. But I no longer have to draw on my 401K until minimum distributions are required at age 70 1/2--in 4 years. I also bought my daughter an inexpensive, but nice house and purchased a 5200 square foot foreclosed house for 25% under market value.

We are enjoying ourselves greatly, however we're really not doing anything we couldn't have afforded to do with our own financial resources.
 
OK, I'm thinking I got fooled. There's a banned-for-life troll on another board I'm on, who posted similar stuff on citydata, who lived in the DC area. Well, my intentions were good.
