If you are curious about the family fortune, I saw very little of it. Over the last few years my mother was alive, my brother methodically took possession of every asset except her automobile and a small trust account she started for me when I was quite young. I drove the car for years and the trust acount became a small part of a down payment on a property here in the North Georgia Mountains. I did have the joy of spending a lot of time with Mom through her last few years. I got to enjoy her smile and laughter regularly during that time. We had fun and that’s what I remember and cherish. That is my inheritance. I got the better deal!
I understand my brother is currently “seeking fullfillment”. I guess money can’t buy happiness after all.
