Just got screwed again... - Page 2

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...

Hang in there and you'll think of something to support your family. There are opportunities all over the place and this is a great time to start something new. Best of luck!

keep your head up, things usually work out for good people. After I got out of college it took me a year and a half before I finally found a job that I could call a career. I had to work for 8 bucks an hour at a sporting goods store.
