[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They bought the $4.7M farm within the last month (they’d previously been renting it). Why are they asking us regular folk for money again?[/quote]

Is that really true? That's actually kind of infuriating to be asking for donations if that's true.  Ugh. [/quote]
DP  That's what is being reported on TMZ
https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/13/james-van-der-beek-purchased-texas-ranch-before-dying/[/quote]

The ranch is a massive 36 acres with a 5,149-square-foot main house that features 5 bedrooms and three bathrooms. There's also cabins and a pool on the ranch, plus sweeping views of the Pedernales River.

Ffs. People dumb enough to donate, whatever.

Until he got sick, why wasn't he churning out Hallmark Channel movies? He would have made bank and his widow wouldn't have needed to grift. As it was, he barely worked for 20 years and she didn't work at all. And now people are paying her millions to live a lavish lifestyle? Okay.[/quote]

Exactly.  There’s no reason why he and his wife couldn’t get normal jobs and live in a normal sized house like the majority of the US.  He had a better start than most people.[/quote]

Get a normal job……like you? Is that what’s bothering you so much?[/quote]

NP: do you think it is wise planning to have no income and no plan for income with 6 kids and an unemployed spouse?[/quote]

Well, he wasn’t educated and probably didn’t have a normal upbringing.

But yes, most adults should realize that it’s wise to live below your means while socking away money in case life throws you a curveball.

If someone offered me $4M for a house, I’d probably tap $1M and invest the rest.

And as someone with a stressful white collar job with relentless hours, I’m fairly annoyed when a family launches a Go Fund Me or begs more stable relatives for money when the sole provider dies AND the SAHM wants to continue being a SAHM. It’s one thing to ask for help to cover a transition back to the workforce; it’s quite another story when the person never envisions working (ever).

I know women who simply got divorced and had the same expectation of never working. I’m still baffled by women in their 50s and 60s who tell people they are SAHMs…when their kids launched many, many years ago.

It’s obviously sad, but he knew he was sick for a while. If Tori Spelling can downsize to a small place with her brood, then surely anyone can.

And where are the grandparents? [/quote]
