Indecent Proposal question

[Lead Belly]

The old joke where a guy says to a woman in a bar:

He: Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?
She: Why, yes- I think I could do that
He: Would you sleep with me for $10?
She: Absolutely Not ! What type of girl do you think I am??
He: Well, we already established that... now we are just haggling over the price.

Well, my rhetorical question is: how much money would it take for you to screw-over a family member? Steal all their life-savings/take their inheritance, knowing that you could never see them again?

$50,000?- a new truck...
$250,000?- small house...
$1,000,000?- beach house...
$5,000,000?- retire early time !!!

What price do you place on family. They say: everyone has a price. I've seen this happen- some of you have too, when it comes to $$$$, just wondering what y'all think.

There is not a price for me to do something like that to family.

 

[baboon]

It’s been my experience that happens over inheritance and it was a very petty amount. Family members can become very greedy and down right thieving sumbags.

$1 for my mother in law. Shes an old battleaxe

Too many zeros... 50 bucks should do it


But seriously though. I've cut ties with a few family members but couldn't ever bring myself to do something like that.

The real question is, who screwed you over?

Depends on the family member. There’s a few that our out for good and I didn’t get a dime.

Short version: Mother screwed over her grandkids using back-dated contracts.

I got a couple of old cats

over here.. take 50 cents apiece for em'. Ok... .30 cents... call me?

 

[PinnedandRecessed]

IME, if you don't want to see/hear from your in-laws...just loan them money. Problem takes care of itself.

Back to OP's question, people have been killed for much less than $50,000. Much, much, much less.

 

[Wudidiz]

Couldn't at any price. It would make me feel as criminal as they were. I'd move on and let God take care of it.

I watched the family vultures after my grandmother's death and I don't want to ever hear from any of them again.

 

[seeker_two]

Wouldn't do it for money, but certain behaviors on their part would be enough for me to act....

 

[oldag]

Read the title and thought someone had offered you a glock.

 

[Whistler]

Not enough money in the whole family to kill over but there're a couple I'd take out for free...

SIL had her eyes on the family money from day one. It did not end well for her.

 

[popsgarland]

When mom and day passed, me, 1 brother and 2 sisters, were to get 25% each of their estate.
That's around $250,000.00 each. Brother and 1 sister were suppose to split the inheritance 4 ways.

I was traveling for work at the time and wasn't able to be involved in the estate split up.
I got nothing, zilch, zero, not a damn thing. Those 3 split everything between the 3 of them.

I haven't spoken with any of them in over 16 years and if/when I'm asked about any siblings
I tell people that I'm an only child.

I wouldn't but have family who have. I was giving my father-in-law computer lessons so he could send emails, wasn't charging him anything. Later on I found out he was paying his granddaughter $100 an hour to teach him. That was the tip of the iceberg, his son and his family was using his credit card for anything they wanted. I believe he died penniless.

In this hypothetical situation, do I like my family? If so, how much? Are we close or is it just cards at Christmas and Birthdays?

Only child, same here, 8yrs now. I 'lost' my only brother when his wife made her power play during the last year of mom's life, that pissed mom off so much she changed her Will to disinherit him so that SIL couldn't touch it. My only family now is husb & dog. Kinda nice, actually.

Sticky part now is that neither husb or I have any heirs.
Oh well.

Yep. And that ain’t screwing over. We won’t enable addictions, for one.
