Looking for some advice for a friend. And yes, this is a Alias for a semi known poster here and it really is for a friend, not me thankfully.
Close friend of mine had “the talk” last night with his wife of roughly 8 years. The theme being “what the heck are we doing”. She’s unhappy, he’s unhappy - they have a kid together so “it’s complicated”. Neither one is iminantly ready to run out on the other but it was an interesting conversation to say the least. 2 or so years ago my buddy (the guy) lost his second parent and inherited somewhere in the neighborhood of north of $1M, which in Maine where they live is enough money to never work again, he’s 43.
Now to be clear if this breaks bad he isn’t going to pick up and leave the wife and kid on the street. He would pay off what little of the House they own and leave them the place, that’s not a question. He does however have an issue with leaving her mid hundreds of thousands to go with it. So we are at the point of the old FBG joke “start hiding money”.
other than getting a counciler and trying to save the marriage (which was what I recommended) does anyone have any advice to prepare for said event?
he asked about taking out a huge chunk of cash which I advised against as any forensic accountant is going to rip apart. I suggested hitting up the ATM for a thousand a day and getting a gambling habit.
