saphire Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Once the RV happens it opens up a whole new can of worms. I suggest everyone get a decent arsenal of stress coping mechanisms. The ride has yet begun. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatmen4dinar Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 No stress here after the RV!! Just learning to manage money. If you consider that stress then I would love to be stressed out. GO RV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeful1 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think the stress will come after the money is in your accounts and your friends and family find out about your new found wealth. You will have to deal with them guilting and pestering u for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardk Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think the stress will come after the money is in your accounts and your friends and family find out about your new found wealth. You will have to deal with them guilting and pestering u for money. This is why we change phone numbers, email address and # 1 MOVE. Now family and friends who won't stand there with their hand out will know how to contact my family. I only have two family members that I really don't want to know this info. I know it's kinda sad but, IMO we all may have someone. Stay grounded, calm and be happy. Go RV/RI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not even call in or give notice. I will call to tell HR where to send me my last check! (significant reduction in stress) 2. I no longer need to worry about money (significant reduction in stress) 3. Go out and purchase the ONE of my dream cars. (significant reduction in stress) 4. Instantly plan my trip to Brazil or the Philippines where the women are beautiful and treat you like a king. ( EXTRA significant reduction in stress) I see no stress increase here!

icutiewatcher Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I completely agree... Unless you have held wealth, or had significant money as a means in your daily living walk, this is going to be a shock to the system. It is a whole new set of stresses...many good ones, of course, like where to buy the car, how much for the college fund, how much for the retirement, how much for the business, etc... But then there's the tax accountant and the management... the learning how to KEEP the money and not become the statistic of those that get significant money and it's completely gone in less than 3 years... It will be a gift for sure, but there is so much more to consider... The ride truly does just begin once we have the RV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctoddy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 The stress comes at tax time. 45% just gone. For most of us you pay off your house and factor in taxes. BOOM - there's a big chunk of your "wealth." it'll be a shock to the system of most of us to see that much money go that fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way most woman treat men like kings if they are treated like queens. Couldn't have said it better! But then again, the Gentleman probably knows about the LBFM that live in those two countries! As my boss always says: Money won't make you happy, it will just make you less miserable in a bettter part of town. ha ha The stress comes at tax time. 45% just gone.

Actualy you do have some choices, instead of paying taxes, you can make donations....of course you will need to sit down with a tax lawyer and CPA, to figure out what's legal ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderrb Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Start planning NOW, You need to have a solid financial plan. This is probably the only chance I will ever have to be Financially Independent. I will protect my wealth along with supporting the Troops that gave us this amazing opportunity.

After their wives become US citizens their next agenda was different than their husbands and that was divorce. There are many beautiful and wonderful women here that would love a Good man. Be Sure you do the right thing!! Hope this helps you XXX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard57 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Good point, Tracey, but that's the kind of stress I'd like to have in my life right now. First order of business: Hire somebody competent to do all the stuff at the office I am tired of doing. Then I'll be set to deal with anything.
