How could I graduate from college — with a business degree, no less — and still not know the basics of how money works for real people in the real world? Saving, investing, taxes, credit and insurance — it's almost like personal finance was confusing on purpose.
Not to change the topic here:
Your will is about more than money and cutting your child out could backfire -
“ Just because you believe that your child's rejection or anger is undeserved doesn't mean that you're right. ”
As parents, I believe we're obligated to take the high road even if our children take the low one. Part of taking the high road is having your last act on earth be one that will be good for them even if they weren't able to behave in a way that you deserved or desired.
Fourth, in my survey of 1,600 estranged parents, it was not unusual for the estrangement to occur after the child married.
