Thar Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I had this thought: "My life depends on my parents. If they were to die, I wouldn't know what to do with myself." Let's just assume this and that you have no way of getting with your relatives... what's your plan in advance in this hypothetical situation? My plan... join the military. Drafting myself is convenient, it'll give me the self-discipline I need, and it'll grant me a promising future, and if I die on the battlefield, then I don't have to worry about one. Discuss.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Basically nothing different except where I live and who I live with. Find a place to stay while paying rent. Move as soon as I can get a job/enough money. Not saying I wouldn't be upset, but basically that's how it would be.

Thar Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Not saying I wouldn't be upset, but basically that's how it would be. A disclaimer isn't necessary. Parents are some of the most emotionally attached people one can ever know, so their death is never easy to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahrheit Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 If you are a minor, the amount of choice that you have is fairly limited. It's most likely that their will - which they probably have - outlines a plan of action for someone to take custody of you. Sure, you can make choices past that, but I promise that this is something they have considered as well. If it matters to you, you can ask them.

Makο Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Tears aside, call a friend. "Hey, bro. Can I chill at your place until I am of age and stature to properly support myself?" Seems like a decent plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd take over our portion of the business and run it (my dad is associate with two of my uncles). I already work with it for 6 years anyway. I'd try to finish my degree at least (2 years to go) and continue running our business and maybe start something for myself in the area of consultation for other firms. I have quite a good plan if I happen to lose my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Get a job and pay off any utility bills I'll have to put up with. (Means that I'd better hurry up and get my degree) I have relatives though, but rarely see them (or they're screwed up from years past; not from my hand though) Luckily I have no siblings to care for. But seriously, I will be crushed if my parents go out. (They're in good shape, even if they are in their late 50s / early 60s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have a huge family to care for me and my sister if they died. In their will, my aunt and uncle would get direct custody. I'd be able to function with college, holidays and organizing visits to my former home state, but mentally, it'd be hard to go on. My parents are my rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juuzou Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hopefully I wouldn't have to change schools, but I would probably stay with my aunt or step mom and finish high school, then go live in a dorm at college. From there, probably get a job and start trying to support myself, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't even have a plan for what I'm doing while they are alive…so absolutely no clue what I would do if they died on me. I was going to say "bite the dust"….but I have 2 siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to dad's will, I get to live with my aunt and uncle in Arkansas. Bc ftw and fml. But I plan on running. Doing what I can until I'm 18, cash in on the trust fund my grandma left me half of. Apologize to various persons for running. Cry at night over my lost life and dad while on the run. Miss you guys at Ycm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smear Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Reminder that this is General and not Misc. To be fair, my post was perfectly on topic and didn't break any rules. Sure, it was short, but it's what I would do if my parents were to die. I would probably move in with my girlfriend and work on finding a full-time job.
