Discussion [POLL] Would you leave some cash inside the letter to your family?

[AnonymousCat1]

...if one of the main reasons for catching the bus is inescapable financial trouble (see my story here for further context).

I could leave about 500 euros. It's not a huge amount, but it would help them a little. Then again, it might cause them additional anguish. Idk.

Feel free to comment in addition to voting. I'm more interested in seeing people's thought process than yes/no answers tbh.

If I had any money, yes I would absolutely leave it for my family.

 

[chaotic_crow]

For their personal use? Absolutely not, none have them have really helped me but for my burial I would but even then I don't know if they'd use it for that or get me cremated and use the money for something else honestly. I got $4 to my name though so that won't get very far lmao

 

[SpencerSees]

Naw, I only have sex work money and they don't deserve that. I worked my ass off for it. Maybe donate it to an animal shelter. I want the dogs and cats there to be happy more than my family.
Leave some for my niece though. She's too little to be bad.

i'm sorry to hear that your family sucks. for the record, my birth mother was a horrible person, and i'd never leave anything if i thought she could get her hands on it. in my case, this is for family that's actually nice. i know that dealing with my remains would be more expensive than that, even with the cheaper cremation option (we live in different countries).

sorry to hear about shitty family. donating to an animal shelter sounds like a nice idea <3

I don't have a job, and I've already lent a lot of money to my mom, which means I won't be able to treat myself to anything joy/pleasure or go on a trip before CTB,so I probably won't have much cash left over.

 

[WiltedDreams]

Before I CTB, I intend to drain out my bank account into cash. I want to make sure my mother, specifically can be able to recover from my death by having some financial leeway going forward. I'm also considering donating to some Streamers/Youtubers as a way of saying thanks for helping me keep being sane if I can't get all the money out.

I have zero family and everything left over will go to a scholarship.

My "parents" never wanted me and growing up, my older brother and younger sister received cars when they turned 18 and I was kicked out the day after I turned 18 with no food, money, shelter, nothing but a bag of my clothes.

When both "parents" died they left my younger sister a hobby farm and cash, my older brother got around 8 million (USD) and I got zero. In fact, it was in their wills that they did NOT want me at either their wakes or funerals.

I received zero and I asked my siblings if I could at least have my grandfather's birthstone ring, as I am named after him, and I was told that I would have to sue to try and get it, so both and got to 7734, or hell if one looks at the numbers backwards.

I feel like I would
It's ironic since my parents are one of the main reasons I've end up this way
But I would feel way too selfish if I didn't leave my savings to them
Maybe then they would forgive me for killing myself, too

 

[darksouls]

no, my family deserve no letter, they are human scum

 

[Cauliflour]

Some of these responses, wouldn't it be easier just to write a will?

 

[LastLightFade...]

I don't plan to be found once I kill myself. I plan to travel a decent distance and do it. I may leave a bit of money if I do commit suicide back home for family members. Give them my prized possessions because I don't need them anymore, and leave whatever cash I have left wherever I may choose to die for the people who may find me. I don't want to be recognized or known once I am gone, besides through my last entries on this site. After I am done with my goodbyes to everyone, I'm destroying my device. I hope my method leaves me unrecognizable. I think I am a horrible person and don't deserve to be remembered for what I've become. I am not the person people once liked. I've turned into nothingness.

 

[turbomightbegone]

why should I leave money to one of the main reasons I'd be writing the letter for in the first place?

 

[Defenestration]

Yes at my family

 

[Mrs. T-800]

Where I live, handwritten wills are acceptable under certain circumstances, and I keep a tab in my mind of what I would dole to who. Not just monies, but jewelries, too, or other precious and personal items... I rather see them used and enjoyed... mostly I want to take care of my mom and my goddaughters. And leave some donations.

 

[byec560]

Not much to give but I would leave it as a symbolic gesture
