If I had known in 2022 I would be where I'm at now. I should have done that

If that's not an issue, probably invest some money in home upgrades and the rest in retirement savings.
It could happen like me. I wasnt family but to my friend I was. We made plans post his passing what the future of the business would be and if I would be given full control. I know he had set up a will and from 2 other sources were aware of it. His part of the business and 100k. His sister was aware of this arrangement. She was exector of his estate. She passed it to his widow His widow worked to take my part of the store, my bank account and my farm. I was trying to deal with the grief and hold it together during covid. The will dissapeared.. She took me to court said a bunch of lies and I produced evidence. Judge ruled in my favor. So I shut everything down gave her his half, sold the farm and everything with it and was going to weather the storm helping my ill friend. She went blind. Those plans went poof. Since she couldn't take care of herself in the state she was in and covid was still hot. I made the decision to take care of her till I couldn't or she passed. July I get sued by his widow again. Something she says I have of my friends. A call would have solved this quickly I have to defend myself again. I waste no time telling the Judge I'll meet her at my friends house. He rolls his eyes. So we make the exchange. Next week I get a restraining order from my friends place which it had been a year since I had been there. What I'm saying you think everything is airtight. A determined person will attempt to take it all
