Some stuff I had to get off my chest.

[amat]

But I have a house, a lake-house that is mine and only mine. I've only been to it once but I like it, it's about the same size as my apartment, a little bungalow, and it's just a chill place. I don't know how often I'll get up there, hopefully more now that I can afford a car that's better on gas then the 1989 Caddy I bought the day I got my bank account with all my money. It's good money I have, the money I get when the Church sells (6000 sq. ft right in the heart of Virginia Beach, it's an awesome piece of real estate) I will likely become rich yet I'm still combating all this bullshit. But I guess writing this post out does help me put the problems I have in perspective in the fact thathere just not that serious but I guess it's just things get shitty sometimes and it's hard for me at my age to figure out.

Sorry for bringin the place down here, but I just wanted to share the good news and since I'm such an asshole I had to include all the bad in there with it. Buut in reality I am super super stoked, I'll put some pics of the house in here right now.

These are the realty site pics, I'll take some when I actually go down there myself.

The pics don't do it the right justice It's a nice little house, I have to install central heating and air conditioning which is really the only major undertaking I have to do right now. Everything else is just painting. It has boat access, and a nice sized yard. There is a carport which I am going to tear down soon and make a separate garage out back. Lake County is so fucken backwards, they never check for work permits, I might do it myself to take my mind off some things. It's 2 bedrooms one bath, a nice sized living room. The floors are hardwood, the tile in the kitchen and bath is ugly and will need replacing pretty soon, as will the carpeting in the bedroom but all that stuff is relatively minor compared to the heating system, it gets REALLY cold in the winter and REALLY hot in the summer, I don't want to rely on space heaters and ceiling fans, especially space heaters which run up the power bill. I'm pretty excited though just thought I would share, sorry for all the other stuff, just musings I had to share.

Congrats on the house amat, sorry everything else is going so tough for you right now. I remember when my mom died I got a little bit of cash, which I've been using to pay for school. It was nice, I guess, but it didn't dull the pain or make me feel any better.

Yup, my Uncle died on New Years Eve and it's not just losing him, it's just the fact that everyone is sad now and at times angry. I would give it all back in a heartbeat just to go back to December 30th but that will never happen so I suppose it's time to move on. I also got another cashiers check for 15 thousand which I am just going to sit on, I don't even want it in my savings. It's for school, it's been so hard to do fucken homework especially for math but I've been coasting by, I'm only at a JC so the real money will be dished out at the 4 year especially if I go out of state.

Of course you would, so would I, but in the end once all the negative feelings subside a bit it'll be nice for you to look at your house, your education (or whatever else you do with the money) and be thankful that someone who you loved and who loved you was able to give you that sort of gift. I'm just about finished my undergrad and I never would have been able to do this without incurring massive debt without my mom's help and while, like you, I'd do anything to have her back it's still nice to know that she cared that much about me. I'm seriously worried that I'll tear up at the grad ceremony .

Anyways man, it's really cool that you have a house, paid for, at such a young age.

Congrats Amat.

You know, I feel you a lot because I have a deeply fractured family as well, except that the fracture originates from my asshole of a father. He did stole a couple of grants to me, my bro and my 2 cousins, the son and daughter of his brother who's dead now, best guy on earth, who did everything for my father, including shelling 40K to put on our house at some point and buying him a Grand Cherokee. He destroyed my Mom's self esteem which I took years to build back and never helped for my handicap brother since his accident pretending he did everything and that my mom wasn't doing "that much' with him.
One thing I can tell you: Do not let anger consumes you. I've been angry at my dad way too long, it consumed my energy a lot, now I am over with it, he's millionaire and will die alone for I don't give a flying F. The second best advice I can tell you is to stack at least 2/3 of the money remaining and place it somewhere, do not spend it, I know way too many peoples (including my dead uncle) who had money beyond limits and did spend it all because they didn't realize that money is fast gone when you're on the ride. This nice little home is perfect, nearby a lake, perfect for some quietude, not too far from your center of interests, I am happy for you.

I'm not sure how much money I'm going to save, my dad also blew a lot of money but he never invested in a house. IDK, it's only like 44K I have left after the house and the 15K cashier check I took. Any suggestions? lol. I am going to buy a boat, obviously, I think I'm close to buying one for 6,500 I've been negotiating a couple days with the dealer over email, seems like a nice boat. Of course some money will also go into the house, in addition to the floors I would like to have a nice yard and I want to remodel that back deck you see in the pictures and add a gate, IDK, I should make a checklist.
