Where to take a grumpy dad? So I want to surprise my dad with a trip and some much needed father daughter bonding time.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Dad Thought His Son Wasn’t Paying Him Enough, So He Got Mom Involved The alleged dispute over Joe Bankman’s $200,000 FTX salary versus his desired $1 million points to an unusual family dynamic at the former cryptocurrency colossus.

Dad passed recently. Mom is extremely risk-averse & anxious about money. Sitting on a lot of equity. Disclaimer: I know that my parents are the lucky boomers that everyone hates. They bought a vacation property 40 years ago & retired to it. It’s now worth around $1.5m. I also realize that even though I am set to inherit all this (only child), it’s my mom’s money to do what she pleases with. I just don’t want her to needlessly throw away money b…

Is my dad being taken advantage of by broker? TL;DR – My dad invested with Edward Jones for 15 years and his rate of return is 4.5% and was told his portfolio was doing “great.” A few years ago, I asked my dad how much his retirement nest egg was. He said around $600K. Tonight I asked him the same question. He said around $600K. Confused, I asked to see my dad’s statements. I just found out…
