Standing in the background of many families are unfortunate relatives who could not connect the dots and make a go of it on their own. Lacking factors such as intelligence, tenacity, integrity, or plain old good fortune, these “stragglers” live a life that is mostly mundane and prefer life in the lazy lane watching the world go by as ignorant shitcoms keep them entertained. There is nothing wrong with this path as long as their spending habits are sound. Vices must be kept in check or financial and emotional disasters will occur. To make ends meet, 1 must avoid cutting the purse strings and curb the expenditures. If all is in balance, contentment is attained. Just then, Rich Prick Uncle Joe gets the gripper (heart attack), and the immediate family goes to war. The “have-nots” come out of the woodwork and start drool dreaming over their newfound riches. The only winners in this non-willed estate will be the 22-$450/hr. lawyers representing all the “rightful heirs” and then dragging it through court for 4 years. Rich Prick Uncle Joe knew exactly what he was doing as he died with a smile on his 2 faces. It was the unscrupulous lawyers that helped that scoundrel attain his riches through lawsuits, deceit, and misrepresention. To the lick-turds goes the soils.
