Gotta be Black/White. It was the first time the writing really took a step forward. The antagonist wasn’t just evil for no reason. They had a compelling story and their motivations made sense and you could sympathize with them.

9·9 days agoI was a skeptical kid. A fat man making his way down every single chimney in the country in one night? No way. Never really bought into it.
Yes, for education and medical reasons. If you are not a legal guardian (which doesn’t need to include adoption if you don’t want it to) you are unable to officially be a contact point, decision maker, or caretaker of a child.
That means that if the kid falls off a bicycle and breaks his wrist or needs some stitches, the hospital cannot release him to you. It means that if anything happens at school, the school legally cannot call you and has to contact his parents. It means that you cannot sign release forms for school trips. You can’t pay for his medical expenses via your insurance. You can’t sign any form or piece of paper in general that he may need until he’s 18.
What you have done is a wonderful and generous thing. Do the paperwork to become his legal guardian now so that when a situation arises where you need to be, it’s all set.
$5 million of spare money. Not net total wealth but actually $5 million investable dollars.
At that point, I’d you stick that money in a very conservative and safe brokerage account allocation, 5% return per year is $250k. That is a higher salary than almost anyone needs, meaning you can live very comfortably without working. You can’t buy a yacht but you can be “done” and so can your children and their children if they aren’t stupid.
If you choose to work, then you can just reinvest that $250k and let compound interest do its thing and get richer. Lucky you.
