The trust fund doesn't quite work that way...we have no control over it whatsoever...we either get checks the first banking day of every new year or not...if it makes money it pays (which has been just about every year since 1990)...if it doesn't make enough to pay myself and my brothers because of the stock market and the economy (like 2008-9 & 2009-10) the we're just s.o.l...unfortunately it's about 3/4 of my yearly income and where most of my disposable income comes from...as far as the tax guys, it's not taxable so that doesn't do a damn thing for me either when filing taxes...it's tied up and entertwined with all sorts of other investments our father made and the bottom line is it either pays or it doesn't...it's just a crock that just when you think you have yourself covered for your so-called golden years (63) something comes along and takes ya down...it's hard to start over again at 63...
