I’d add NY to that shortlist. Port of Elizabeth is technically NJ but they aren’t fooling anyone.

I think it has already started. It just hasn’t consolidated yet.

Well I still need to find a job. ASAP.

My wife got some postal mail about unclaimed funds that looked bogus. After several repeats, we found out that it was due to her uncle passing away intestate.

My wife’s already deceased father and him had mingled their finances. But another cousin had found out first and had already moved on cutting us out.

Fixing it has taken over a decade, but the estate finally closed last month. Our share total was around $350k. The thieving cousin probably got away with double that. But hey, a free windfall for retirement.

Unfortunately, I’m out of work so we’re living off of that money now.
