Yeah, it’s a significant amount-enough to change my life. But honestly, it’s also bringing up a lot of mixed feelings. I didn’t know him, and now I have this huge responsibility on my hands.
That’s understandable. Inheriting money can be a blessing, but it can also be a huge responsibility. It might help to talk to someone who can guide you through this, like a financial advisor.
If there is/was a guy in your life that you “thought” was your dad. Go spend some time with that guy. If he’s struggling financially, help him. Whatever love that guy needs, give him some love. That guy for 31 years filled the role as dad. He’s hurting right now. Let him know that DNA doesn’t make father and son, love and connection does
But he called the guy a "family friend" and the guy sent him birthday cards. So sounds like they did meet, but the link wasn't made apparent to the caller.
Glad you caught that too. This man was clearly trying to find a way into his son’s life, and mom prevented it and lied. Until this man dies and now mom is motivated by millions of dollars... but she has to finally tell her son. I’m not sure I’d be keeping that woman in my life at all.
My dad is awesome! He’s sick with cancer and still trying to see what he can do for us. Anything to make our lives easier. He was always present growing up and spent every penny on my mom and my siblings and I. I hope to emulate him as a parent!
Im trying be more postive but NO MAN is sending you random bday gifts unless hes been with your mom or trying be with your mom again. Most people have their own kids to worry about.
I would also have an attorney review it, put John has an itchy trigger finger. Obviously the man and his advisors knew what they were doing. It would be stupid to sell the holdings. That would be a taxable event. It’s a good thing the father left his attorney in charge as trustee. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
It's very clear that there is a lack of knowledge of how trusts work. You don't inherit a trust, they are named beneficiaries. One of the many points of a trust is to bypass the inheritance process (probate, etc) and to create protection from liability.
That's the opposite of what I would have told him, everything is different. Don't let the money rule your life, money is there to help you, not be an inconvenience. Just calm down and do nothing for a while.
The guy needs a good lawyer ASAP just to make sure the slime is held at bay and to keep the creeps locked away and don't sneak out of the woodwork they are hiding in. That kind of money brings out the worst of the worst.
Also, I understand his reaction to recomend getting a lawyer to make sure he has access to "his" money.... But if I was the dad, I would also make preparations to ensure my heirs could not blow my years of hard work of wealth accumulation in a few months 😅 Starting at half a mil a year for life - plus increasing dividend payments - seems more than enough for most.
Went from thinking his dad was a good guy to John forcing him to have trauma of his dad being bad in just a couple seconds. He wasn't bothered by this. Let the man be happy!
Any normal person who finds out a truth like this after 3 decades of life would be in shell shock mode. Maybe even denial for a while. You have to be slapped in the face to wake up to your reality which is exactly what John is doing. Luckily, this guy has a lot of gold at the end of the rainbow but still, his ability to trust others has got to be shaken by this
@@katiejon17 the point I'm trying to make is if the father tried and the mother prevented the father from seeing the son she probably wouldn't be getting any of the inheritance. We are all making assumptions here but it is clear
Wow that is a very well thought out trust -enough to help him every year but not ruin his life and doesnt get the full amount until 60. Well done, Dad!!!!!!!!
No, the lawyer gets to pull a certain percentage every year he manages it. The lawyer is VERY motivated to not disburse the money but “manage” it for this guy and have a new second salary.

John is dead wrong here. The man left him and his mom money…the mom that you know probably didn’t even want him. Yeah that man was a good man. Not every dad is perfect. And a lot of men end up not involved in their kids lives except if they are needed. I had two parents and I have no kids so no…I am not coping in any way. I just think you don’t spit on a father that sets you up financially for life.
I agree. I think John was out of line to just make a flat statement that he was not a good man. Lots of complicated issues in there. In the end he left his kid his money.
@@aitinsightsyes they can. In fact, if they don’t want a child in the first place they have 3 options that men don’t: Adoption, Moses laws and abortion.
Really unfair of John to say the dad is a "bad man." I say this as a kid who also didn't have a dad growing up. My father, was like most people, flawed. Good or bad is too simplistic and not very helpful. Another swing a miss by the Doc.
Wait, John mentions that this guy did not fight for his son and that the caller deserved to have a Dad. There was never any mention about whether or not his mother was married (to a man that this caller thought was his real dad). That is the question that I wonder about.
I am left questioning something…..why did the dad send cards throughout the years if he was this very bad guy who wanted no relationship? Bcs many of those men would not even send a card or remember birthdays….all for their mother to tell the kid it was from some random dude yet. Maybe it’s all true but something seems flawed to me
My ""father"" left my mom because he wasnt ready to raise a child, at 29. Im almost 40 now and never met him. If he died and left me money, Id spend as little money possible putting him in the ground. I wasnt worth his time and now hes not worth my money AND time.
Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Nicole Anastasia Plumlee” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
@penguin12902 I have 3 daughters and I wouldn’t want that as well but in this situation! What memories or relationship is he trading in for money? His mom still doesn’t even kno if that’s he’s real dad or not, so in this case. Thank u for the money stranger
I'm glad Dr. Delony was one of the hosts on that call to give permission to that caller to take a moment and grieve his whole life being different; for better and worse.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.
I wish they had clarified whether his mom raised him as a single mom, or if he had someone in his life he believed was his biological father. I feel like that makes a world of difference in terms of the psychological impact of discovering this.
@@SalisburySnake When you have to pay for his burial because he didn't have enough insurance then you are stuck with his debt. In fact my father hurt himself and L.A. county charged us to remove him from his car and storing his body.
Tired of John telling people to breath, let him talk and get to the detail! So many unanswered questions on what is a wild and unique call... missed opportunity for the show!
It’s what the will dictates. Trusts are not inherited for many reasons, one being inheritance taxes. 500k a year not even touching the principle, this is the dream
How do they know the conversation the mother had with the father. He could be a good man. Sending cards seems like he wanted to be part of his life. Then the mother dismissed him as a friend.
The first advice on everything will change was spot on. After I would have advised:keep it for yourself for a few months, keep your current job while you figure out things. Then maybe try to know, for example through this lawyer, this new found father. I would also have asked about the “raising” father, if any. Lastly legal or financial advisors… The mother is not trustworthy.
They had some good points, but they really needed to say in plain English that: * The ownership of the trust (the principal) was probably not protected against the heirs' total control; * the trust attorney was probably just trying to protect his rice bowl; * _once the caller had learned how to invest for the future_, he should ** discharge the attorney, ** divide the principal between the heirs, ** move _his_ inheritance to the proper new places.
My brother became a widower at age 62 and he received half million $ from his wife’s insurance. I told him repeatedly the women will be coming out to help him spend it. He didn’t listen to me and after two years he’s flat broke. Owes thousands in credit card debt.
I love this show. The panel is great. ❤ I find that with big decisions I have no one to turn to for plain talking helpful advice. Next time I will call. Be careful of listening to family, take impartial advice, pay if you need it.
That could absolutely be his motivation, but also the caller gave us very little to go on if he had any financial responsibility, so the lawyer does have a point. He's never managed wealth. All we know is he is an unmarried, 30yo renter. May mean nothing, may mean something. Lawyer is better equipped, at least initially.
@@jaysleeper264 yeah idk anything about Trusts but assuming the Lawyer doesnt have any access to the money, it seems like it was designed in a way to keep the money safe until he is age 60 at which time he should be more wise with handling money. surely they're not taking out every bit of the profit each year like he mentioned and only being left with the principal at 60, you'd think the father would have wanted it to keep growing. i guess either way it doesnt matter, 14m principal at 60 is still ofc a ton of money, but being left alone until 60 it would be 288m if it got 11% average annual growth lol
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problemthe trustee can bill their admin fees to the trust (usually 1-1.5% annually) so it definitely has the potential to be a decent stream of revenue for the attorney.
The fees on the trustee are usually 1-1.5% annually, with the lawyer hiring other professionals like a CPA and investment advisor, so typically you’ll have no less than 3 people billing on the account. Could end up being 4-5% annually when it’s all said and done. These juicy situations are the golden goose for a professional trustee and counterparts because the person who accumulated the wealth was probably really diligent about fees and costs but the heirs just treat it as found money and pay little attention as long as the checks roll in.
He's the worst out of all the Ramsey personalities. He's always looking for something deeper even though sometimes there isn't anything deeper. He likes to complicate things, and he's the biggest simps out of all the personalities.
@@klord6711 There was also a caller, not too long ago, who called in to complain about her husband, how he's not making enough money and they are struggling financially, and John was trying to convince her that her husband was abusive. She denied it, twice, kept saying no, he's not abusive, but John kept asking her until she became unsure if she was being abused or not. John is the biggest simps on the show.
@@terriesmith2616 It sounds like the McMartin Pre-school witch hunt. The kids grew up and said nothing happened. They were manipulated into making outrageous accusations. This destroyed the McMartins’ lives and reputations, and ruined the respected preschool they had owned for three generations.
GOOD advice. Your own good attorney should be able to explain the law and the working of trusts. Your legal/financial education is just beginning and it is IMPORTANT. Don't talk about your finances. Read & study, relax & rest, read & study. That's your job now.
What an emotional story! I thought stories like this only existed in the movies. Apparently, I was wrong. God bless Michael! I hope he turns out to be the best father he could ever dream of for his kids one day. ❤
Dr. Baloney never pushes back on women. It is obvious that the man wanted a relationship with his son. It was the mother that was preventing it! SHE IS THE BAD GUY, NOT THE DAD!
It is possible, if not probable, that the MOM kept the baby-daddy out of her life, and the son was just collateral damage. We can’t assume that the baby-daddy didn’t want to know his son. But, we will never know because, as usual, John jumped straight to assumptions without bothering with the facts.
The multi-millionaire who assumed he was the dad, remembered every birthday while mom kept him away and lied because she slept around.... Was the bad guy... Right... John rides the highest of all horses...
It's tough to gauge, especially when the market seems so disconnected from what's happening in the real world. People are struggling with rising costs, yet stock prices are up. It's confusing.
It feels like we're walking a tightrope. I've been debating whether to adjust my investments or just ride it out. But honestly, I'm not sure what's the right move.
You're absolutely right about the importance of having an advisor, especially for retirees. As a businessman, l've worked closely with my advisor, who expertly managed my portfolio.
"The trustee is the lawyer, and has complete authority...." Translation: this guy won't EVER be seeing a single solitary penny of that money. Already the lawyer will be working out how to cut out the trustees....one way or another.
John and George are right--the caller needs to hire his own trust attorney. It sounds like a somewhat complex trust. With the amount of money at stake, it would be good to have a set of professional eyes on the trustee.
All good sensible advice. Poor guy, he needs to care for himself. Suddenly, he lost a dad he never knew, and a mum who evaded and lied because it suited her.
Only thing that irks me about dave is how they want you to load up on paying professionals, I get getting an attorney and insurance, but then getting all these other guys on retainer is an easy way to over pay significantly. This guy can make is fulltime job managing the money. My dad is not worth as much as the father was but its up there, and he does it all himself and the financial advisor he needs is a yearly 1 hour call with a cpa.
I don't think the dad was a bad man, and it was wrong of Dr. John to say so. We don't know what went on between the caller's mother and the bio dad. Things were different a generation ago; Dr. John is using today's standards to judge the past. It's clear the bio dad did not forget his son, considered him his next of kin, and wanted him to have his earthly possessions.
"Are you tired? Look at yourself in the mirror, breathe, you need to grieve. Are you tired? Reach deep within and ask yourself, am I tired?" What the fuck? Ps. "How about now? Are ya tired yet?"
Listen, brother. Listen to me carefully. That energy you feel, that's your body screaming "I am tired". That coolness you want to project, that's your mind being so tired of holding this burden that you've kept for all of two weeks. Time to lay it down, brother. I am a PhD and I'm tellin ya, you're tired.
That is literally what he does the majority of the time. He asks them questions and keeps insisting until he gets the answer that he is satisfied with. He wants people to feel the way he expected them to feel.
I think he should ask the mom if she ever received child support from this man. It’s just odd the man had no other children or even family to leave money to.
oh my gosh! This seems like a dream to me. I wish I had a surprise father. That is amazing that just does not happen every day. Congratulations and use it wisely.
Frustrating how he was about to explain what his mom told him about the dad and John completely cut him off. Terrible listening for the caller and unsatisfying for the listeners.
we are in a bull run, and a housing and stocks super bull run that can peak in late 2024 and mid 2025, once the ath and benefits come to those markets then they are coming to btc, and that is very soon to happen, not seeing a major bearish pullback that holds prices stagnant for much time afterwards here. We are in 25- 30 rating of extreme fear for a couple weeks, but the price holds on 57k, this is probably the last bottom right before the reverse into bullish territory by the next week, and then starting the parabollic trend in late july or agust breaking previous ath of 74k, running till october or november to 90-110k. Then a major pullbac again, and if the bull still holds another ath peak in mid 2025......for me trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Kerrie Farrell, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape....
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience..
I can’t even imagine what you’re going through.
Yeah, it’s a significant amount-enough to change my life. But honestly, it’s also bringing up a lot of mixed feelings. I didn’t know him, and now I have this huge responsibility on my hands.
That’s heavy. It’s not just about the money; it’s everything that comes with it.
I think he is scared of making the wrong decision and losing it all.
That’s understandable. Inheriting money can be a blessing, but it can also be a huge responsibility. It might help to talk to someone who can guide you through this, like a financial advisor.

And a lot of men end up not involved in their kids lives except if they are needed. I had two parents and I have no kids so no…I am not coping in any way. I just think you don’t spit on a father that sets you up financially for life.
I agree. I think John was out of line to just make a flat statement that he was not a good man. Lots of complicated issues in there. In the end he left his kid his money.
@@penelope5500 and apparently tried to have contact through sending birthday cards.......at least for a while it seems
I agree. And who knows what the actual circumstances are. The caller certainly can't rely on his mother to be truthful with him.
the father didnt want to stick around , didnt you hear that? women just cant up and leave a child but men do it all the time
@@aitinsightsyes they can. In fact, if they don’t want a child in the first place they have 3 options that men don’t: Adoption, Moses laws and abortion.
Really unfair of John to say the dad is a "bad man." I say this as a kid who also didn't have a dad growing up. My father, was like most people, flawed. Good or bad is too simplistic and not very helpful. Another swing a miss by the Doc.
It's different if the guy didn't know he was the dad. This guy did. The fact that he didn't want a real relationship doesn't make him a good person
@@laundrygoddess4 How do you know he didn't want a relationship with his kid? It could have been the mom's decision.
@@jacobg8640 a real dad fights it in court if they want one. That's how.
@@laundrygoddess4 Ah yes because courts are known for granting custody to the deserving parent instead of the mother 80% of the time.
Wait, John mentions that this guy did not fight for his son and that the caller deserved to have a Dad. There was never any mention about whether or not his mother was married (to a man that this caller thought was his real dad). That is the question that I wonder about.
Typical Maloney answer. Not curious about the circumstances or context. Just blame the dad.
I am left questioning something…..why did the dad send cards throughout the years if he was this very bad guy who wanted no relationship? Bcs many of those men would not even send a card or remember birthdays….all for their mother to tell the kid it was from some random dude yet.
Maybe it’s all true but something seems flawed to me
John is a simp
For all we know. The guy could have been a gangster. And he didn't want his way of life to be around him.

My ""father"" left my mom because he wasnt ready to raise a child, at 29. Im almost 40 now and never met him. If he died and left me money, Id spend as little money possible putting him in the ground. I wasnt worth his time and now hes not worth my money AND time.

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Nicole Anastasia Plumlee” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Few banks are going out of business, inflation has tamped down, markets are not tumbling. The sky is not falling.

Im the same age as this guy and if I woke up tomorrow to this my life would be shattered. Kudos to him for keeping it together
Why would it be shattered? A dad you never knew or meant left you millions, thank you
Shattered?
I'm glad Dr. Delony was one of the hosts on that call to give permission to that caller to take a moment and grieve his whole life being different; for better and worse.
Hes right the guy needs someone in his corner
Grow up.
And don't tell potential girlfriends at all.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
Digital Asset"? What is that? Does it have some intrinsic value or is it a made up ledger of imaginary ones and zeros?
That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.

The caller is lucky to have such good counsel from these wise men.
Arrange a good team for sure. But what a shock.
I wish they had clarified whether his mom raised him as a single mom, or if he had someone in his life he believed was his biological father. I feel like that makes a world of difference in terms of the psychological impact of discovering this.
At least his dad left him in a better position. My estranged dad left me and my sister in debt as next of kin.
That's not how debt works in the USA. You can't inherit it, unless you're trying to keep the item the debt is attached to.
@@SalisburySnake When you have to pay for his burial because he didn't have enough insurance then you are stuck with his debt. In fact my father hurt himself and L.A. county charged us to remove him from his car and storing his body.
@@2009Holleywood Whoa! That is hardcore. Sucks you had to go through that. Well wishes to you and your sister.
Tired of John telling people to breath, let him talk and get to the detail! So many unanswered questions on what is a wild and unique call... missed opportunity for the show!
Always question it when the lawyer that helped write the will is the trustee of the estate.
That should be illegal.
It’s what the will dictates. Trusts are not inherited for many reasons, one being inheritance taxes. 500k a year not even touching the principle, this is the dream
How do they know the conversation the mother had with the father. He could be a good man. Sending cards seems like he wanted to be part of his life. Then the mother dismissed him as a friend.
Yeah, the mother lied to him all those years. Was she any better? I would have loved to hear the rest of the story.
This would be a good John Delony show call. That's a lot to take in although a blessing at the same time.
What an amazing closure, an amazing show
I have so much respect and trust in the Ramsey. Team you have no idea
I'm thrilled for this guy! Life doesn't normally hand out gifts like this.
The first advice on everything will change was spot on.
After I would have advised:keep it for yourself for a few months, keep your current job while you figure out things.
Then maybe try to know, for example through this lawyer, this new found father. I would also have asked about the “raising” father, if any.
Lastly legal or financial advisors…
The mother is not trustworthy.
GREAT ADVICE GUYS!!!
We needed Dave on this call. The personalities just don't have the experience or knowledge that Dave has.
They had some good points,
but they really needed to say in plain English that:
* The ownership of the trust (the principal)
was probably not protected against the heirs' total control;
* the trust attorney was probably just trying to protect his rice bowl;
* _once the caller had learned how to invest for the future_, he should
** discharge the attorney,
** divide the principal between the heirs,
** move _his_ inheritance to the proper new places.
My brother became a widower at age 62 and he received half million $ from his wife’s insurance. I told him repeatedly the women will be coming out to help him spend it. He didn’t listen to me and after two years he’s flat broke. Owes thousands in credit card debt.
I love this show. The panel is great. ❤
I find that with big decisions I have no one to turn to for plain talking helpful advice. Next time I will call. Be careful of listening to family, take impartial advice, pay if you need it.
“You’re worth having a dad”

@@BobDobbs681 But that's a reasonable thing to ask someone looking for financial advice lol
You are not a Dude. You are not chill enough. Let go, relax.
Wonder what that lawyer's cut is for the next 30 years?
That could absolutely be his motivation, but also the caller gave us very little to go on if he had any financial responsibility, so the lawyer does have a point. He's never managed wealth. All we know is he is an unmarried, 30yo renter. May mean nothing, may mean something.
Lawyer is better equipped, at least initially.
@@jaysleeper264 yeah idk anything about Trusts but assuming the Lawyer doesnt have any access to the money, it seems like it was designed in a way to keep the money safe until he is age 60 at which time he should be more wise with handling money. surely they're not taking out every bit of the profit each year like he mentioned and only being left with the principal at 60, you'd think the father would have wanted it to keep growing. i guess either way it doesnt matter, 14m principal at 60 is still ofc a ton of money, but being left alone until 60 it would be 288m if it got 11% average annual growth lol
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problemthe trustee can bill their admin fees to the trust (usually 1-1.5% annually) so it definitely has the potential to be a decent stream of revenue for the attorney.
@@mikederucki yeah that sucks, thats a ton of money, especially if it was just left alone to keep growing.
The fees on the trustee are usually 1-1.5% annually, with the lawyer hiring other professionals like a CPA and investment advisor, so typically you’ll have no less than 3 people billing on the account. Could end up being 4-5% annually when it’s all said and done. These juicy situations are the golden goose for a professional trustee and counterparts because the person who accumulated the wealth was probably really diligent about fees and costs but the heirs just treat it as found money and pay little attention as long as the checks roll in.
His dad was a Nigerian Prince.
please send this lawyer 2 bitcoins and he'll send you these dividend checks....
John is just unbearable to listen to. So dramatic
He's the worst out of all the Ramsey personalities. He's always looking for something deeper even though sometimes there isn't anything deeper. He likes to complicate things, and he's the biggest simps out of all the personalities.
@terriesmith2616 yeah I'll never forget when he told us if you EVER yell at your child you're abusing and traumatizing them. Lost all respect
@@klord6711
There was also a caller, not too long ago, who called in to complain about her husband, how he's not making enough money and they are struggling financially, and John was trying to convince her that her husband was abusive. She denied it, twice, kept saying no, he's not abusive, but John kept asking her until she became unsure if she was being abused or not.
John is the biggest simps on the show.
Almost everything he says is based on assumption because he always gives advice before getting the facts.
@@terriesmith2616 It sounds like the McMartin Pre-school witch hunt. The kids grew up and said nothing happened. They were manipulated into making outrageous accusations. This destroyed the McMartins’ lives and reputations, and ruined the respected preschool they had owned for three generations.
Best wishes to the caller.
GOOD advice. Your own good attorney should be able to explain the law and the working of trusts. Your legal/financial education is just beginning and it is IMPORTANT. Don't talk about your finances. Read & study, relax & rest, read & study. That's your job now.
What an emotional story! I thought stories like this only existed in the movies. Apparently, I was wrong. God bless Michael! I hope he turns out to be the best father he could ever dream of for his kids one day. ❤
Okay, I know it's why the channel exists but that advice was top drawer!!
Truly bittersweet. My head would spin for a good while. This guy must have many questions
@njabulom Yes, questions that his own MOTHER has refused to answer for years, and STILL is not answering. SMH.
maybe he can hire someone to find out what mom wont tell him
Dr. Baloney never pushes back on women. It is obvious that the man wanted a relationship with his son. It was the mother that was preventing it! SHE IS THE BAD GUY, NOT THE DAD!
He needs to ALSO establish a Trust of his own now too!!
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady🌹..How are you and the weather condition like ?
I feel this poor guy is in denial.
Idk how this changes anything, he didn’t to ever expect to meet his father and now he inherited this money
It is possible, if not probable, that the MOM kept the baby-daddy out of her life, and the son was just collateral damage. We can’t assume that the baby-daddy didn’t want to know his son. But, we will never know because, as usual, John jumped straight to assumptions without bothering with the facts.
John is more bothered about this situation than the caller LOL. It’s almost like he wants to the man to be sad
The multi-millionaire who assumed he was the dad, remembered every birthday while mom kept him away and lied because she slept around.... Was the bad guy... Right... John rides the highest of all horses...
I've been keeping an eye on the market, and I can't help but feel uneasy despite all this talk about us still being in a bull market
With inflation and other economic issues, I'm not so sure. It feels like things could change at any moment.
It's tough to gauge, especially when the market seems so disconnected from what's happening in the real world. People are struggling with rising costs, yet stock prices are up. It's confusing.
It feels like we're walking a tightrope. I've been debating whether to adjust my investments or just ride it out. But honestly, I'm not sure what's the right move.
Consider a CFP, though. It would be especially in critical times like this.
You're absolutely right about the importance of having an advisor, especially for retirees. As a businessman, l've worked closely with my advisor, who expertly managed my portfolio.
7 million!!!!!worth every lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naa. I love my dad as flawed he is. He is my dad. And no money would make me feel better if he wasn’t.
Yeah you could be a good father and be rich.
@@boredoreosmost are neither
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why do they keep this John guy on the team? lol dude is always reaching for something deeper that’s not there.
That's what therapists are trained to do. How they convince people of abuse that never happened. Destroying relationships along the way.
Shame on his mom and for never telling him.
"The trustee is the lawyer, and has complete authority...."
Translation: this guy won't EVER be seeing a single solitary penny of that money. Already the lawyer will be working out how to cut out the trustees....one way or another.
I got an inheritance from a relative I never met. I got $2100. The fine print in the will at the bottom said
“Miscellaneous $500,000.”
LoL
You can replace a trustee who is abusing his responsibilities.
John and George are right--the caller needs to hire his own trust attorney. It sounds like a somewhat complex trust. With the amount of money at stake, it would be good to have a set of professional eyes on the trustee.
Don't have trauma? Hold my beer, said the therapist.
All good sensible advice. Poor guy, he needs to care for himself. Suddenly, he lost a dad he never knew, and a mum who evaded and lied because it suited her.
Only thing that irks me about dave is how they want you to load up on paying professionals, I get getting an attorney and insurance, but then getting all these other guys on retainer is an easy way to over pay significantly. This guy can make is fulltime job managing the money. My dad is not worth as much as the father was but its up there, and he does it all himself and the financial advisor he needs is a yearly 1 hour call with a cpa.
But most people aren't educated in these things. So hence, paying a professional.
Your dad is knowledgeable because he earned an accumulated the assets. People who didn’t build wealth don’t know how to take care of it.
I don't think the dad was a bad man, and it was wrong of Dr. John to say so. We don't know what went on between the caller's mother and the bio dad. Things were different a generation ago; Dr. John is using today's standards to judge the past. It's clear the bio dad did not forget his son, considered him his next of kin, and wanted him to have his earthly possessions.
There is so much more to this story!!! Why did y'all dig deeper!!!???
"Are you tired? Look at yourself in the mirror, breathe, you need to grieve. Are you tired? Reach deep within and ask yourself, am I tired?" What the fuck?
Ps. "How about now? Are ya tired yet?"
LMAO
Listen, brother. Listen to me carefully. That energy you feel, that's your body screaming "I am tired". That coolness you want to project, that's your mind being so tired of holding this burden that you've kept for all of two weeks. Time to lay it down, brother. I am a PhD and I'm tellin ya, you're tired.
What an insane situation!
1:00 quite literally 🤣
And here I am fantasizing about inheriting the diamond mine my distant relatives own through silly circumstances.
Moms aunt left me oil rights in Arizona 😂
Value is being there side by side.
John asks questions just so he can hear what he wants to hear, and then say his "gotcha!" advice.
He literally forces them to answer the way he wants and refuses to accept any answer that isn't what he's looking for.
That is literally what he does the majority of the time. He asks them questions and keeps insisting until he gets the answer that he is satisfied with. He wants people to feel the way he expected them to feel.
I think he should ask the mom if she ever received child support from this man. It’s just odd the man had no other children or even family to leave money to.
I groaned when John said, “sit with me for a second”
oh my gosh! This seems like a dream to me. I wish I had a surprise father. That is amazing that just does not happen every day. Congratulations and use it wisely.
Frustrating how he was about to explain what his mom told him about the dad and John completely cut him off. Terrible listening for the caller and unsatisfying for the listeners.
I wanted to tell the story but they didn’t want to listen
we are in a bull run, and a housing and stocks super bull run that can peak in late 2024 and mid 2025, once the ath and benefits come to those markets then they are coming to btc, and that is very soon to happen, not seeing a major bearish pullback that holds prices stagnant for much time afterwards here. We are in 25- 30 rating of extreme fear for a couple weeks, but the price holds on 57k, this is probably the last bottom right before the reverse into bullish territory by the next week, and then starting the parabollic trend in late july or agust breaking previous ath of 74k, running till october or november to 90-110k. Then a major pullbac again, and if the bull still holds another ath peak in mid 2025......for me trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...
