I can understand how it would be frustrating to be expecting something on a specific day, especially money, only to have that date pushed back. I hope everything works out, Susan.

Thanks, Nicole.

In all fairness, Susan has made her family's none-too-easy financial situation clear from her postings on this board. And that the money from this inheritance is more a ticket to the economic middle class than fun money. So I won't begrudge her anxiety.

And Susan, my apologies if I'm speaking out of turn.

I'd complain. But then I always complain when people don't do what they promise. and possibly think about changing who I do business with -- when possible,of course.

I would like to make myself clear. I do not begrudge anyone windfalls of any sort, and I understand that money is a stressful thing and the stock market exponentially so. I do not want anyone to wonder what is too First World to post and what is not.

However, there are a lot of people for whom repeated posts over a long period of time about windfalls not moving as fast as they should are like unto rock salt in a really deep wound - people who also have really hard (sometimes desperate) financial situations but do not feel comfortable sharing such things on a public board. That's what I feel some people are responding to today.

Which I get, juliana, but I don't exactly think of my inheritance as free money. I paid far too steep a price for it.

CUTE cut, Sox.

Sox, that is super cute.

To be honest, megan? I didn't realize your inheritance was still tied up. I am very sorry for that.

I'm sorry I rubbed salt into anyone's wounds. That was never my intent.
