That's why you want to buy two of them, just to be on the safe side.Don't know which is worse - one you have to sneak your weapons past or one that;s liable to take the new ones for herself?

One woman is pretty dam expensive as it is, I don't know if could afford two of them and still be able to buy any guns.That's why you want to buy two of them, just to be on the safe side.
I won't get into it, as I know it's way off-topic for the thread, but I think it has more to do with the almost cultish mythology that has grown up around the "American family farm". I was raised steeped in this idea, that the family farm legacy is the absolutely single most important thing in life. My dad was obsessed with it. We all worked our butts off on that farm like you wouldn't believe, well into our 20s, until most of us escaped and made lives for ourselves. Their estate planning has very little to do with family, and everything to do with the perpetuation of the farm, almost as an entity unto itself. No disrespect intended towards farmers. I respect farming in general, and growing up on the farm has made me who I am. It's the family-destroying obsession and mythology that I'm absolutely done with. I want nothing to do with it.That's definitely the old way of doing things. The self-reliant children who went out on their own, forged their own way go unrewarded. The one who remained dependent, she gets rewarded. Or another way to look at it, the one who stayed behind gets rewarded for the on-site help she provided to the parents for all those years at home.
Interesting stuff. Your description of this behavior as obsessive is accurate. Family cohesion and welfare should come before retention of property; it they are coincident, I guess that's a good thing. Plenty of farms have gotten lost over the years. For people who had to work hard for one (meaning, they didn't inherit), I can see how holding on to a hard-gotten property and way of life would become their primary focus.Their estate planning has very little to do with family, and everything to do with the perpetuation of the farm, almost as an entity unto itself.

Never marry someone you wouldn't go into business with.As long as people do a good job of marrying someone with the same values. When I got married, I was the spender and we did ok. Bills got paid, etc. But, when we really decided we wanted to commit to having our own home and saving enough to weather tough times, our overall "wealth" started to really take off. I fear if I didn't change, my marriage would have more issues or it would have ended. It's almost like having a good business partner.
