In and Out of the “WILL”
When you live in “Florida” – you will be expected to invite family as guests and spare no expense in entertaining them! Be careful which family members you take to different places, because they seem to enjoy everything while they are with you, but you could be cutting your own throat!
Here’s my story: My Aunt Irene was wanting to come down for a visit, and of course stay with us. This was just fine with us. Instead of me helping my husband at the restaurants we were operating, I took Aunt Irene to see and visit all the major places of interest and took pictures so she could show her friends when she would be back in Missouri.
As a special treat, my husband said, we should take Aunt Irene to Hialeah Park Race Track, Hialeah, Florida. I only like to go to the “Race Track” if I will be eating in the Club House. I do not believe in betting on a chance. that I might win someting – I would rather take my money and buy something, that I can put my hands on! So, we planned a day for the track and “Club House” and Aunt Irene was happy to go.
We enjoyed a very good meal and of course, my husband did what he usually does, bets on the horses. He has good “LUCK” – that’s why we called him “Mr. Lucky” and the one restaurant was called “Lucky Boy” Drive In. I took several pictures of Aunt Irene at different areas in the “PARK” and in color so she would look good when showing off her stay in Florida.
Well, when she got back to St.Louis, Missouri – guess what was said and done? Aunt Irene had money, and she had a “Will” with the different Church Charities and family and friends to whom she was planning to leave money to in her “Will.” Within a couple of weeks of being back home the word was that I had to be taken out of the “Will” because my husband would spend my inheritance on the “horses!”
So, I was taken out of the “WILL” and she did name my children to inherit what I would maybe have received? So this, is the way it was until my husband died, then my Aunt Irene went to the extra expense of putting me back in her “WILL” and taking my sons out!
Money is something that – too much is hard to live with – and too little is just as hard to make ends meet – if not used wisely?
