Money and Health: Where there's a will…

Where there's a will…

By Anonymous - 09/02/2021 05:01

Today, as a final effort to get me to lose weight, my recently deceased father left me $25,000 on his will, which is only to be released to me once I weigh 150 pounds. No exceptions. I'm about to lose my house. FML

Free money for me, but not for thee

Today, my dad refuses to let me inherit all of his money, which might just put a roof over my head when I’m older. *His* money? Well, actually, he inherited it. FML

Today, I found out that my dad left his entire estate to charity in his will, including his house. He knew I needed that house to get my kids back, because I’m currently homeless and my kids are in care until I can prove I have a suitable place for us to live. FML

Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Today, my dad, who never supported us growing up, and who calls once a month to collect his monthly living expenses, gave me an ultimatum: either buy him a plane ticket so that he can come live with me forever (he's a raging alcoholic) OR to send him $4,500 US Dollars (which where he lives is someone's 6 month salary).

Today, I witnessed a man die from a heart attack. When I told my dad later, he said "Lose some weight or you'll be next." FML

Today, my father calculated that the only way we can afford to keep the house was if I get pregnant and claim child benefits. My family now won't speak to me because I refuse to do it. I'm 15 years old. FML

Unreasonable

Today, on my 21st birthday, my dad handed me £12,000 and revealed he’d been saving my rent. When I asked what for, he told me it was to rent my first house because now I’m 21, he’s throwing my ass out. Neither me or nor my mom could talk him round, and unless I’m out by next week, he’ll start smashing my possessions. FML

Today, my parents finally decided to get a divorce. The catch? I'm on my step-dad's insurance and without it, I will no longer be able to receive my absolutely crucial mental health medication, on which, no exaggeration, my life depends upon. I'm cooked. FML

I mean, if you're about to lose your house I feel like that was due to events that had nothing to do with your weight or your father.

I honestly daresay you can contest the stipulation as unrealistic...

Seems like a pretty good deal. Assuming 150 is healthy for your height.

Well, homelessness is a great way to lose weight! You'll be skinny in a jiffy and the $25k will make a great down payment for a new house.

True, just because someone puts a stipulation in a will or even a business contract doesn't necessarily make it binding. Probably pretty open/shut for a judge to strike that part.

Try to lose weight, you'll be thanking yourself and your father for doing it, take it from a former obese person, exercise is great for the body and mind!

Yeah they weren't blaming they're father. It was an added point on to the wtf. Christ, why are people so quick to hop on this wagon?

google go-cleanse, you know what needs to be done. 30 days strict diet, you could lose up to 40 pounds a month, downside is it's not cheap, like 400 or something i don't remember but it worked for me i lost 38 pounds in a month, it wasn't easy, but I did spend ALOT less on food
