Only just spotted this. Sensei John Dee
Instead of a wooden man you could do karate on a bookshelf
Lol, ram it.
I wish he'd grow up and stop acting like a drunk twat. But yeah he can definitely keep that Queen's English accent. It's a lost art.
I'll get right on that, pranny.
The fuck is this all about?
I see it
I considered that possibility LOL
Once I came to conclusion it was me and 4 other posters working alts
still open to the idea
Just fuck him already and be done with it
if you give these relatives money, each will feel entitled to the whole thing. Keep it quiet, your relative knew these people and chose to give you their resources as a step up. Use the step wisely, don't crap on the wishes of your dead relative.
I always go to mexico through Calexico in California or down SD to rosarito I never drive through AZ to get to Mexico if I am going that far into Mexico I just fly there.
You said "more than one year's salary" so I'm going to assume its somewhere between $50000 and $100000.
I think the first question you need to ask is "Where do you want to be in life? - What is the end goal??"...For me, my 'end goal' - which Im really damn far away from by the way - is to have a house of my own, nothing fancy, just something I can say is my own, and enough passive income that would allow me to travel the world whenever I pleased and live a humble life without being forced to work a 9-5 for someone else.
So, for me, since I don't have a house and only minimal passive income (about $300 a year in dividends lol), I would probably buy shares - good, boring high dividend paying shares - with a third of it, lump most of the other third with my current savings, put it in a savings account and start seriously looking at what my budget for a house iss and what I can get with it.
I'd give a grand or two to some charities, take my gf out for a nice dinner, maybe even a cheap week-long holiday to Asia and buy a few bits of new clothes.
That's me though addressing my priorities. Yours may be different, but I think a similar approach would serve you well.

Correct, and much closer to the second number.
My problem is there are relatives that I REALLY WANT to give a bunch of it to. Really good people who could really use it.
And then there are the shitbag relatives who I don't want to give a cent to - some because they're shitty people, and others because I believe it would harm them due to their demons.
If I could get a gaurantee I could dole out half of it to the deserving relatives and it wouldn't get back to the shitty ones, I'd do that and would be happy. But I know that eventually someone would hear about it and there'd be a shit storm.
True. I don’t have close relatives (parents migrated to Australia with only my brothers..rest of family stayed in Portugal) so I can’t relate.
However, that money is YOUR money now. Your relative left it to you because they wanted you to have t and to do what you think is best. So if you wanna give it to some family and not others, that’s your right as it is your money to give away as you see fit

You could always Anonymously send them a cashiers check in small increments.
With that kind of money you could buy up most of NFLD.
Your dilemma is shitty though. Perhaps just ask those you like to give a detailed list of financial debt and you'll see what comes of it. Give the regards the "I promise you guys I didn't give cash to anyone." Have truths can keep families together.
Set aside some portion of the money you inherited and invest it conservatively. When you hear about the good relatives having problems, give them what they need out of that money. Buy Aunt Sally new tires and a gigolo. They don't need to know where it originally came from, and it'll keep the shitbags out of your life if they think it's money you earned. Even if they think you earned it by blowing dudes.
@Khabib Fears Conor the floods effecting you at all?
Nope, I think it's only central Newfoundland. Grand Falls-Windsor is all I've seen having flood damage.
