@burro :D:D:D Plan B, Dude! Life is short!

@Fab - I'd make sure the help took their "little blue" vitamin pills everyday.

@handballer - don't have regrets, you probably sold at the right time, when I bought at the wrong time. I'm swimming deep underwater.:(
 
Buy a forty footer and sail the Caribbean!

The other 500K I would learn to instruct scuba diving and teach down there for beer money!:cool:

If I could pull my current take home without having to spend all day at work I would be a very wealthy man. Who said you can't buy time?

Plan B then, deal. Let me know when you hit the mainland and I'll show you some back roads that might be fun to check out on your upcoming RV adventure. We'll call it an interview, that way you could deduct the cost of the trip as a business expense.

I would pay frixxxx a salary of four times whatever his current government pay is to be the CEO. My only owner/micro management requests to him would be free trades for all current TSP.COM people and Burro would have to be employed as the marketing manager/vice CEO.

Thanks for your vote of confidence there Scrappy. I have to be honest with you, I don't have much formal managerial or CEO experience but I'm a quick study, I'll get right on that sir. Rest assured, I've got the marketing and vice part down pat though.

Make sure you get Frixxxx one of them fancy satellite phones with heavy bandwith so he can direct the operation from his boat. I'll hold down the fort at HQ. (Don't worry boss, I'll have your desk professionally cleaned before you sail into town, just call me first, give a guy some warning).

I would start two businesses.

1. First would be to open an investment firm. I would pay frixxxx a salary of four times whatever his current government pay is to be the CEO. My only owner/micro management requests to him would be free trades for all current TSP.COM people and Burro would have to be employed as the marketing manager/vice CEO.

That would be nice, but I'd work off performance only....I believe in getting paid only when I perform.

Thanks Scrappy!
 
Xacly, us late-blooming boomer FERS folk-stuck in the middle-again-2021 anyone? Little engine that could-I think I can, I think I can. :nuts::( long way home-song about that, gonna have to post it. I'm off to the lounge.

And the really bad news is that you wouldn't start out with $800k. Because Uncle Sam takes a much bigger bite out than the 15% that we originally figured.


And that doesn't include state tax, which in Utah would grab another 7.5% off the top. <sigh>

So we'd be starting off with more like half a mil. Could you even quit your job with $500,000? I hope so. I quit my job with a whole lot less than that.....

Ok Steel_Mag, you get another shot. The prize was 2 mil, you get to keep 850k after the man gets done with ya.

We don't want to hear about how bad it hurt or analyze any charts now.

What would you do with the free and clear chunk of change?

Okay, I like this one! I would have a lawyer set up the MWE---- Trust and have the trust buy my home and homes for my two children! Then the kids couldn't do anything stupid with the equity in their homes and would always have a roof over their heads. And I wouldn't have a mortgage anymore. WOOHOO!
 
:D LOL! Not quite the credentials I was hoping for... but, there's still time to work on that re-ass-ume! SLMAO!

I'm going to have to pass on the offer then KonaKathy, to be perfectly honest I have no plans to work on the re-ass-ume, I is what I is.

But if you get tired of the kept yes-man lifestyle, I'll give you a run for your money, there's nothing like the smell of fresh cut grass in the morning, after your husband goes to work of course.

Or I could always drop by and make sure you're receiving the right channels on your tv, no extra cost. Oh yeah, just move the anennae to the left a bit, that's it honey, coming in clear now, see you next wednesday.
 
I think I'd give it to the rightful owners. If it were me getting the inheritance tho, I'd be providing a generous finders fee to the person who gave me the inheritance I didn't know my dad had saved for me.

OTH I wonder why the inheritors couldn't be bothered to go through the house thoroughly to make sure it was really ready for sale. I'd have looked to see if was anything in the attic before putting it on the market, my parents stored Christmas decorations and miscellaneous other stuff in the attic of the house I grew up in-trap door pulldown and everything.
 
That is a tough one. My heart wants to say give it back,

But no ****, just the other night I had a dream about what I would do with 40k, only I had to do it in 5k blocks, so after padding the emergency savings accounts and ROTH and brokerage and buying a new used vehicle and taking a well-deserved vacation and drawing up a list of projects for the house, I decided I really needed $60k instead.

Then $45k falls out of the sky? That's like a $5k bonus, guess I could cut back somewhere.

Unless I personally knew the intended recipients, no doubt I would decide I was more deserving.

Difficult choice, but I'd probably keep it. And I'm the type to give $5 incorrect change back at the drive thru window.
