1. <sigh> Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther star if you don't get out of the house much, died without a will.
Guys, SERIOUSLY, please go get a will (and a trust, if you need one) TODAY.
Here are the top 3 reasons why you need this:
A. So what YOU want to happen, happens.
2. Without a will, the state gets involved and makes decisions FOR you. (Bastards!)
B. Making your family go to court for this SUCKS. A trust can avoid a lot of this, and is an act of LOVE for those you care about, because it makes less work for them.
3. Finally,
C. It keeps things from getting messy.
Look, people are ASSHOLES when someone dies.
Greed brings out the WORST in people.
I've seen families fight over $3 cans of tuna and want that deducted from a person's 'share' because someone got hungry and made a sandwich.
4. You do NOT want that to be how they remember you, or bring that out in YOUR family.
And, remember, there are famous people like Prince and Jimi Hendrix where they've been gone for years or DECADES and the family is STILL fighting over the money.
5. You know who gets your money in that case?
The lawyers and the courts.
Is that really what you want for YOUR money and YOUR family?
Remember, Chadwick was only 43 when he passed.
You are NOT going to live forever.
Handle this today.
End of rant.

Parents: Are AP classes a waste of time....or WORSE?
Thread:
If you have a kid going to highschool, then please pay attention to this.
I first wrote about it in 2005, and it was my most requested article for reprint EVER.
Pay attention:
👇
First, let me tell you what I see a LOT of:
kids getting loaded up with 3, 4, or in some cases 5 AP classes in one semester,
and they’re doing mediocre in ALL of them….which ultimately KILLS their chances of getting in to a top college.
Why?
Usually, it’s because ONE of the classes is completely over their heads, and they have to struggle so much to keep up in that class that they can barely keep their heads above water in the other classes.
