And I was her only kin, of course.
And now I'm responsible at like 20 years old.
to take care of her estate, and then she died 10-3-09.
My first child was born 11-3-09.
We just bought our house August-09, so I went into just deep anxiety, depression, panic attacks.
I couldn't handle it because I couldn't mend the relationship we had.
And then on top of it, financially, I went in severe credit card debt because I had to transfer her
body across state lines they charge you per state line at least they did in 09 and i had to come up like 30 40 000 when i didn't have it we just did the baby's room that was the last penny i had for the crib and the you know members babies are us back then and that was like five grand on a credit card i didn't have and then i got another 40 it was it was a complete nightmare and then about two years after that
My grandmother loses her husband who owned Lombardi Masonry, built all the Westfield shopping malls in New England, their foundations.
So she inherited about 4.5, 5 million bucks.
It took my grandfather 40 years to build.
And then she had a stroke, led to dementia, because on top of losing her husband, she loses her son, my uncle, through Agent Orange, you know, from battling cancer for years because of that when he was in Vietnam.
So, you know, she was in Ludlow Nursing Home across from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut for seven and a half years, which $5 million, gone.
Because what people don't understand, like, for every dollar you need for care, it actually costs you $2, right?
Because you have to cash out IRAs, 401ks, real estate.
You got to pay realtor, capital gains, ordinary income tax, federal tax, state tax, FICA, Medicare, unemployment, social security tax.
So by the time you get the dollar, it's 48 cents.
So that money was gone.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, holy crap.
My family were very hard workers.
