I am one of 40 grandchildren. What bothers me about the whole trust-fund thing is that it sort of presumes that everything is handed to you. And if there is one thing about my family that I do identify with, it is that everyone is extremely hardworking.
I'm not a trust-fund type.
It's hard finding people you trust or who aren't going to take your money. Everyone wants to get a piece of whatever you're doing. It's a nightmare.
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.
My parents put everything in a trust fund for me. I won't get it until I'm 18, so I'll use it for college.
Many of my colleagues are not able to run their family budget. On the other hand, I look at some of the apparatchiks in research councils, and I have even less trust in their abilities. Good intentions have always paved the road to hell.
My mom was on the United Way group that decides how to allocate the money and looks at all the different charities and makes the very hard decisions about where that pool of funds is going to go.
I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity.
It is important not to trust people too much.
My mom's made it clear to me that, like, there's no trust fund.
