  • First bad storms of the season tonight. Guess ill be up till 3am tonight. Till the tornados leave.
    Finally found out an ancestor that had been bugging me in her aloofness. The ladies are always the hardest and she had a first name only and in one census so I guessed and ran into a perfect match then found all the documents to prove it afterwards. Guess I work backwards.
    Daddy is still being a tad bit controlling. He wants all my money to invest with his guy. So I do what he says and he changes the whole deal on me at the last moment. I am feeling bad cause he insulted my paltry amount of money. But it's my money. Shouldn't I be kind of tight when its all I got?

  • Absolutely.  I'm the same way.

  • wow, that sucks about your dad.  You should be able to do what you want with it.  I'd ask that if the investment doesn't pan out if he'll reimburse you.

  • Wow, the things you put up with for Daddy.

  • Do what you want!

  • You definitely should be tight with your money!
    Apparently a bad storm is here now.  I work me up.

  • I agree with godfather!  Do you

    really

    want to take a risk with your savings, small or not, you worked hard to earn and stash it?  

  • Tell that hippie to get a job and pay for it himself.

  • Based on current situation and general election is around the corner, lending money, borrowing money or investing money is not a good option.  Only fixed deposit or normal savings are safe in a long run.

  • Your dad needs to steer clear of your finances. You could even tell him that you want to avoid having bad feelings towards him if the investment goes bad.

  • @hesacontradiction - It wasn't as bad as I expected.  I got to sleep before midnight

    @godfatherofgreenbay - He assured me that the federal government backed this particular mutual fund(?)  But I still don't particularly like it because its changed from the last thing he talked to me about.  I don't like changing things so quickly it makes me nervous.

    @RulerofMasons - It's the way of the southern girls... we'd do anything for our Daddy's and they are Daddy's forever.

    @jennylovve - Oh I'd love to run away to exotic places right now lol.  

    @C_L_O_G - I usually am pretty tight with my money.  I just don't like change and the work situation makes me worry that I might need that money and it won't be where I can access it easily.

    @endlesssummer128 - It was stashed in a regular savings account he wants to stash it in a mutual fund.  both seem to be backed by the government but I have easier access in a savings account.

    @we_deny_everything - that hippee is retired he needs a job or a hoby so he won't worry with mine.

    @RestlessButterfly - nothing is truely "safe" but i see the point because that's how i felt.

    @Pepin909 - I admit i've been having bad feelings this whole week due to his interference with my hoby now and my finances.  it's hard telling him no because he ends up sulking and taking it personally if you disagree with him.  

  • @LadyofWaters - I know what you mean.  I always like to have some easily accessible money too  

  • @LadyofWaters - My mom is the same way! She can turn anything into a negative comment about her. 

  • I know savings is hardly paying any interest right now, but it's safe. And, like you said, you can get to it.  Could you put half into a fund and leave the other half in savings?  

  • I think you are being exceptionally cooperative, but it is your money. I used to have my own money, but then I got married.

  • @endlesssummer128 - That's what I've desided to do.
