there are many ways to do thing.

some of you draw a thick line between you and your parents.

some of you draw a thick line between you and you spouse.

to me, there is nothing between us. it is my own family, we trust each other totally. we have decades of records to prove our trustworthiness.

in this way, we can reap the synergy of sharing.

Some family members got decades of trust also got problems after father passed away.

my dad is dead. so no problem. when he died, i could have inherited about 40k. i gave all this to someone that is more needy than me. because of this all my relatives know that i am trustworthy. not bad, use 40k to buy trust.

the next one to go is probably my mom. i dont see any problem with it either

i have seen siblings fighting over inheritance, real life not on tv.

Question, this 500k belongs to who?

this 500k is just for the lawyers to do the documentation. it is not real money. i do not have that sum in the account at that time. if some idiot tried to cash it, it would have bounced.

this is what i mean by synergy.
i own a condo
mom own a hdb
wife own a malaysia terrace house.

we all stay in our condo together. the rest are for investment.

if i took out wife and mom, it is impossible for me to have these.

Trust is hard to come by in these days.

I always have joint account with my mum, never touch the monies. There was once I utilised it out of emergency and returned within 6 months.

If we can't trust our family, who can we trust?

It is about belief and value systems.

What this means is that, it is his money, and you shouldn't touch, regardless of how low interest he is earning or how stupid he is managing his money.

This means you need to re-read the post :s13:

Never trust anyone with $$$, including close ones, unless you are fully prepared to lose the whole lot.

There is actually a code of conduct that is in my family DNA. We are brought up doing the right things. If one's value system is not right, I would not pass the money to them.

Quite true. When you put few hundreds k on the table. You will see whether whether the bond is truly strong.

When my brother sent my father for his cancer medical review, he asked my dad how he is going to split money. When my father pass on, he did not a get a single cent on his liquid. But quickly bring my mum to lawyer and draft a will on the HDB. Haiz..

Not everyone is like you. To me, just do what you need to do, anything that is yours will come to you eventually.

Depending on whose money, I will take :s13:

But last month I found $360 giant vouchers and my friend told me to spend. Instead 2 weeks later I went to enquire from the customer service counter and left my contact for the person losing them to claim directly from me. That same night, the person came over to my place to collect the vouchers :s13:
