00:00Jimmy said, my mom died a couple of weeks ago, and before she passed, she told me that in the crawl space of her house, there was close to $100,000 in cash.
00:09I have two siblings, but neither of them are really close to our family.
00:12One moved out years ago and rarely calls, and the other is very happy with their own family and also hasn't seen my mom in 10 years.
00:20Neither of them could make it to the funeral.
00:23I think that says a lot right there.
00:25Yeah, right there.
00:25My mom looked at me before she died and said I could do whatever I want with the cash.
00:30My wife said we should split it because, you know, karma.
00:33But I can't help but believe I should cover funeral expenses and help out my family, the only family that cared to be around her.
00:41Whoa.
00:44Well, I think the one line that makes the big difference here is my mom looked at me before she died and said I can do whatever I want with the cash.
00:50Which one?
00:52Oh, gosh, that's a lot of pressure.
00:53I wish you had just told me, Mom, what to do.
00:55You know, you already told me what to do my whole life.
00:57Tell me now, please.
00:58But I think he needs to do what's right for his family, and his family is the one that's been around her.
01:04Seems like they were very, very close.
01:05Seems like some of the burden of funeral expenses were on him.
01:08If it's not in the will and this is something outside, he keeps the money.
01:13You don't share a dime.
01:14That's his money now.
01:16If they wanted to make an effort, they would have showed up to the funeral.
01:19There's nothing in the world that would have kept me from going to my mother's funeral.
01:25I don't care.
01:26But I disagree with both of you.
01:28I think that there's the right thing to do, and that's what you do.
