Wish I hadn't done it. Got out the calculator and figured out I've been ripped off to the tune of $209,664 by B's and my ex. My ex was supposed to have paid $450 a month until the kids were 18. That was $89,000 I didn't get. At four percent one-time interest, that would have been $92,664.
So, that was one of the rip offs.
Then, we had to pay his ex $1,000 a month, half of which was out of my pocket, so with legal fees, that worked out to $72,000. Then we squandered $55,000 for B and sometimes me to travel down to Houston for years and the total out of my purse is $219,664. Double that and B and I have thrown $439,328 down the toilet.
What a dope I have been! Little did I know, when I walked into his office in 1980 and met him for the first time, I would be ripped off to this degree. His daughter, Sarah, is the worst offender, having stolen $10 K we sent to her for her children's education. Unforgiveable.
So, we have written a couple of kids out of our wills to save our own financial asses. All I can say is, marry the right person or you're effed. Has no one any shame to have picked our pockets threadbare?!
