Reply #16: my mother-in-law was one of those people who carried on about [View All]

"the will". i can't speak for my sister-in-law, but my husband and i were never interested in her money. no one has ever given us anything. everything that we have we have worked for. we just have my husband's daughter -- and all she wants is money. after my mother-in-law died she kept sending my husband notes and e-mails saying things like "i know it's hard -- hang in there" once he told her that "nana" died penniless the notes stopped.

we have our will set up that everything goes to animal charities. my sister is our executrix and will make sure that our wishes are carried out. of course, if an illness happens our estate would go the way of my mother-in-laws. my husband is covered for long term care, but they won't cover me because i have chronic fatigue syndrome and take certain drugs for it. so if i get sick, we could lose everything, house, savings. we're long overdue for universal health care.

and i agree with the class warfare. you can't just keep people down. i see people all the time busting their asses for $8.00 an hour and no future to look forward to. the american dream is all but over.

we are truly blessed that my husband has been rewarded for his 36 years with the same company -- but we're scared -- his job could be outsourced tomorrow. he is eligible for a pension, but he's only 58 so we'd have to wait for him to hit 62 for social security.
