[quote=Anonymous]A year ago it looked like I was about to come into a large amount of money. Nothing shady, a reputable company wanted to purchase an inherited asset from which I had received income for almsot 20 years, and I signed a purchase agreement.

I ran into an elderly Black man on the street. He had ended up a thousand miles from home as a result of going on a road trip with other people who abandoned him when he reached his destination and stopped answering phone calls. He had his wallet and ID but no money. I got him a motel room at a decent motel, paid for a bus ticket home, and a little extra cash for food. The clerk was very helpful--her husband was a trucker who had done the same thing once for someone else, and she even set him up for a late check out so he could sleep late as he had spent a cold night outside the night before.

A month later it turned out there was a cloud on the title for the asset (having to do with a 1951 deed of which my FIL had had a copy, while it turned out a woman in Texas whose deceased father had the same initials and last name had the ORIGINAL deed) and the sale did not go through (and deed has not transferred to the Texas party, I still get tax statements).

I have no regrets.

People at the very bottom of the rung help each other out, no surprise she passed the word.
