In that currency, yes, but not in others.

I understand her being pissed enough to do it I mean obviously she had her reasons but you're right. My dad has his will set up in the best way it's split four ways - my brother my sister me and charity. If any of us die before he does our share goes to charities of our choice when he dies unless we have kids then it…

Maybe just get one of those insta-tshirts w/ “frosty wicked witch” on it.

(oooh even better - glitter iron-on letters from the clearance section at a craft store)

You are way better at urban puppy talk. I love frosty wicked witch please put that on my tombstone

Dang we gots a frosty wicked witch ovah here.

If my bubbe didn’t have dementia I could completely see her doing somehing like this (I mean hopefully not but she did like the write-you-outta-the-will threat). As it is her affairs are probably a mess and it sucks, but damn she had some spite to her. All the best “he wronged me so I kicked him in the balls” stories.…

It’s not that farfetched a fantasy!... Here in SF we see a lot of old single gay baby boomers leaving their estates to their caretakers/mentees/conservators/younger friends/ etc. People who choose not to have kids are figuring out that you don’t need children to have an heir/ess.

It would be ALMOST as much fun to donate large sums to causes that the heirs would oppose... My imagination tells me that each major holiday would bring a “thank-you” card/note to these heirs, reminding them of their lovely donation to the Human Fund, Planned Parenthood, etc.

My grandmother hid hundred dollar bills in the books in her bedroom for more than thirty years and never told a soul. After she passed away, the books were given away to places like Goodwill. We only found out after they called and thanked the family for the generous donation.

I don’t live quite like a miser, but I still kind of hope to do this some day. I don’t have, and won’t have children, so I like to imagine that like a dear friend of mine kind of ‘adopted’ me as her mentee when I was a young BeeAtch just starting out in business, that one day I’ll find a mentee. And leave her/him all…

Completely unrelated, but this reads a lot like my plan to clone my cat, with the minimum $100,000 of disposable income I will one day need to have in order to drop on such a venture.

It seems from reading the linked article that destroying large quantiites of currency is not permitted legally. Giving it away would be different.

God, at least spend the money on drugs or something

EXACTLY. MY first thought was ‘NO ONE WILL GET MY COIN JARS!’ but like, do i melt down all the change into a big middle finger or make thousands of wishes that people never touch my goddamn change?

It’s pretty normal to guarantee damaged money- if you’re super curious and have the time and cash to spare, rip a bill in half, another bill in thirds, quarters, etc., and see how many pieces before your bank won’t exchange a good bill for the constituent pieces of the old one.

This is exactly why one should live like a penny-pinching miser and then surprise people with your millions after death.

This is great! When I die, I’ll probably do a similar thing with my fortune to prevent my heirs from getting it.

Maybe she thoughts they would challenge it in court? Maybe they’d try to say she wasn’t of sound mind enough to change her will? Certain shreddy actions seem to indicate she wasn’t totally of sound mind. (I can understand wanting to screw heirs, I can’t understand not having at least one place you’d want to donate the…

There is a certain amount of justice in that she probably had the thing jam on her a million times trying to accomplish this.

Bonus points if in her will she stipulated that none of her heirs get the money. That would just be even more delicious.
