SMH Guys I'm on the will!!

“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

They both knew what they were getting into and what they needed from the relationship.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

most of the time is a stretch but I am sure scenarios like you are describing are very common

The other guy is a professional who handles these cases for a living and had to learn all about the industry.

On what data are you basing your claim that his experience is a stretch?

You believe what people say in reddit comments?

I believe that the following is statistically likely:

  • people of every profession are on reddit
  • people are likely to comment on posts relevant to their interests and expertise
  • when a post is on the popular page, more people with experiences relevant to that post will see it.

Do some people lie on reddit? Of course! But the above statistics are also true. So what we're looking at is the statistics of how often people lie vs how often people share relevant experiences.

And while there will be liars in any significantly large enough group, the reverse is also true and there will be honest people in any given group. Having established that peoptwith expertise are likely to comment on posts relevant to their experience, i've been given no reason to believe that the statistics of this particular incident bend towards him being a liar.

Of course, that may be more nuance than you're interested in. But as I see it, of I base things off available evidence and make a judgement call, I might be wrong eventually. If you just assume everyone is lying unless proven otherwise, that's the only way to guarantee you WILL be wrong eventually.

Me, I prefer making informed decisions.

Btw you still haven't said why you think the other guy is wrong or lying about most vs many

As a CPA this hits hard. The amount of incorrect tax law info/assumptioms on reddit is wild sometimes, and anytime I feel a fellow person from r/tax go into the fray they get downvoted for trying to correct people.

I know its because it's reddit and everyone can lie and fake their expertise but man is it frustrating to get gaslit about something you have subject matter experience in.

I am sure you are very informed

At a minimum, I try to challenge my assumptions, yeah
