I mean, yeah, that's the other thing. even if they'd feel weird just taking your money, find out what they've always wanted to do and do it with them. if they want to run a restaurant, buy a restaurant and put them in charge. like wtf. it isn't that hard

thinking about it if my friend made a billi I wouldn't want them to just deposit a few mill in my checking account or hire me to drive them around, I'd want them to produce some sort of creative project of mine

change is change and trauma comes from positive change since all change necessarily involves a loss.

not unsurprising, i'm quite sure he'll get over it

if he can avoid becoming the thing he hatesa, he'll likely be justr peachy.

northern europe isn't well adjusted to extreme wealth what with their japanese like jante laven/the nail that sticks out gets hit thing, but, being a progressive bunch, i'm sure it wont be a big problem

change, even positive change can be painful to a degree.

northern europe is contradictory in that it's "don't stand out" mentality can isolate the sucessful, but despite this they are socially progressive and (by and large) inclusive so I doubt he's lost his old friends.

yeah exactly

the thing is, he could do this in a nerdy way too

like just start a production company and pay his friends to help him fart out weird game ideas then farm them out

doesn't even matter if they make money doing it just do a thing to keep away the existential crisis and keep your friends employed and around without it being a blatant "i'm paying you to hang out with me" weird thing

you misunderstand, that I think he'll be fine doesn't mean I think he's any less of a whiny bitch, just that he has potentially the worlds best social welfare to support him if needs be (rendering the isthenotchdeadyet.com kinda redundant).

i was told as a kid that the safest thing to do with a lot of money is a reverse mortgage/debenture to a bank. but, given the poo poo theyve pulled in the past god knows how long, im thinking thats the third worst bit of advice ive ever received.

reverse mortages sound good for olds who wanna buy stuff and dont mind leaving nothing behind

a final gently caress you to your rear end in a top hat kid/heir

when you lend the money to a bank, and they have to pay it back over 20-30 at extortionate rates with premature payoff penalties etc etc, is how i thought debentures worked.

i may be off, but how is that bad for the kids?

should an untimely death occur, the heir must continue paying off the debt, or sell the estate to pay off the debt and maybe get something, or get foreclosed on and get nothing
