If either (or both) of her parents get sick and need expensive care, there will be no inheritance. It's a little early for this guilt trip to begin.
My dad left me and my brother an inheritance and my older brother nothing. Older brother. Didn’t have a relationship with him. Two of us knew it 30yrs before dad passed. Now ref he could get sick and nothing be left. Well in my case my dad would rather die than spend his money. Just saying. He did even go to a doctor. He passed away at 89 natural causes. Oh by the way he had a Will. Louisiana only require a Will. Easy transfer in that state.
Good point
You don’t know that. My mom need to get extensive care and it was all done at home with outpatient care and eventually hospice. All covered by insurance and Medicare.
@@teeduck Thats exactly his point, you dont know that. You dont know if your parents will have expensive care or if it will be covered. Better to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
The non-adopted brother may be getting a big inheritance from his biological mother (the adoptive dad's first wife), for all we know.
But we don’t.
Also, the girl in the video sounds EW. “Civil”? “We communicate”? She sounds like an annoying inhuman robot 🤮
My ex's third wife wouldn't host my kids at their house on week-ends and holidays, but her son visited there all the time. Then they paid towards the son's education, but not my children's. My kids have done nothing wrong, but it is now easy to say they didn't spend enough time with their dad, who now has also moved to another country. My children feel bad, that they are not valued and loved to the same extent as the stepson, but it is none of their doing - they are decent and hardworking. So, in the situation discussed, I would not be quick to judge. In my case, although I'm not rich, I will make sure to divide my inheritance equally and let my children know how much I love and value each of them.
@@jeannehunter5344I’m sorry to hear that mama… God bless you and your beautiful family! 😘🙏💕
@@jeannehunter5344similar story to my husband, tho he got to spend time with his father every summer… He still got the short end of the stick throughout… No money for college unlike sibling, no money for wedding, unlike sibling… Now that he passed, no money from inheritance… It is what it is… So all we can do is put all this pain at the foot of the cross in offering to God in the highest and move on as best as we can without looking back… 🤷♀️😅
300k is still a good chunk of change tho. I'd be grateful regardless.
This isn't a Dave Ramsay question, it's a Dr. Phil question.
I wonder why would the parents want to tell either child something like this?
It's (telling kids things like this) not something that would improve any of the relationships.
My dad and my step mom made it very simple.
They just divided the total estate by the number of the total kids.
But then again the who family gets along well.
My husband was allocated 60% of the inheritance because when the will was written he was a minor and his parents wanted to make sure he was taken care of when growing up including getting an education. His siblings are 12 years+ older. However, my husband is now 50. His two sisters were allocated 10% each and his brother 15%. (5% was given to the church) We decided to split the 95% so that each sibling would get an equal share while considering the parents wishes. The 100k that we still received allowed us to pay off the debt including the mortgage, get a fully funded emergency fund, some for our sons college, and still take a nice vacation. We did not need more and we were already so blessed by it and thankful. We are totally at peace with the decision to not take another 150k on top of what we got. His sisters were there when my husband was in the hospital after he almost died and they even gifted us money so we would not worry about it then. It's up to each person to decide what they want to do.
Agreed-. You need to honor your parents choice for what to do with their money. It's not your place to re-decide what to do with the money.
Once your parents give you money…it isn’t their money to decide anymore.
As the child of a first marriage, I wouldn’t be surprised if the current wife is the one fueling the uneven split. When I was growing up my dad and stepmother would refuse to buy me things I asked for like s computer saying it was too expensive then immediately turn around and buy it for their son who is 11 years younger than I am. They didn’t pay a dime to help me pay for college when at the same time were sending my half brother to a small private school. TBH Not only do I have no expectations that the inheritance will be evenly split, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t leave me anything. I wouldn’t blame their son nor feel animosity towards him if he didn’t give me half. Her parents should have the balls to tell the brother what their wishes are before they die.
I'm watching clips from eight years ago and Dave hasn't aged a bit.
Always difficult. Families are complicated.
I come from a narcissistic family, which I left a few years ago. There are a bevy of people who would say that I deserve nothing and that any brother or sister who stayed, should inherit everything. Some would even say so, regardless of the abuse my mother tried to inflict, as if it’s her choice and right. But, I left, because it was my choice to defend myself and I really didn’t want to reactively abuse her, in turn.
I don’t know that this video tells the entire story. IF the parents were narcissistic at all, the son had good reason to not be close to them. If their situation is anything like mine, my mother began using my sister to beat me over the head. That’s not something I allow in my life. But, my mother didn’t like that I have boundaries and the ability to tel her no.
A half heir shouldn't feel entitled to an equal portion anyways, considering the 50% allocation of the wife. When the older brother's bio mother leaves an inheritance, none will pass to her ex-husband's adopted daughter, either.
Good point. He might have another source of inheritance.
Exactly. This is an important point. The son is from another marriage, the daughter is the daughter of both mom and dad. Mom, who is not the son's mother, may have contributed greatly to the couple's income, so it seems perfectly fair and reasonable that the daughter they share would receive the lion's share of their inheritance.
That sounds reasonable but a lot will depend on who passes first. Couples rarely die at the exact same time. If mom dies first then the daughter and husband will inherit. If the dad died after the mother then there could be an even split. My uncle told my cousin who is his daughter from his first marriage that if he dies before his current wife she likely won’t inherit as much.
@anndeecosita3586 Get with a lawyer and make a binding will. Inheritance can be issued in segments with each parent's passing. I know of a stepfather who handed money to one stepkid, the only one not on drugs, and to his bio kids, because who knows how his 2nd wife will split the rest.
Both of you are extremely fortunate. Just imagine how many people in this world would love to be in your shoes and your brother. Why feel guilty. Mom and Dad didn't have to leave you anything.
Sometimes it’s not about the money. It’s about the value you had with your children. Sometimes we like to believe are parents actually do love us but then pettiness shows even at their graves. It’s not right if the son doesn’t know the truth of the distribution or atleast tell him WHY
Yep, they are fortunate. The parents could have easily willed it all to their church or favorite charity.
@@Originalman144 what’s the point working so hard and neglecting their children and not even build generational wealth? Parents are just petty
@@TheAiriph perhaps those parents. Saying parents are petty as a generalization is pretty weird.
Wrong, your parents owe you everything they have on death. Whether you helped them or not. Who else would it go to a random stranger? 🤔 And why would it go to a random stranger before their own kids? Nobody works for free for years on end.
I get the sense we dont really have enough of the story for it to make sense.
In my 35+ years working in estate planning, probate, and post-mortem estate management, I’ve learned it’s best to gather and explain to children the reasons for unequal inheritances (unequal, not inequitable). I’ve also observed the reasons this is rarely done: parents are fearful of outcomes of their decisions. They would rather be dead when their kids find out the truth. 😂
Why does he even need to know. If you get an insurance policy, you get a check. You don’t need to tell him.
It’s called integrity, parents are petty
’Positivity Always Wins’ I’ll be 57 in few days, by chance I stumbled here with courtesy with an approach on knowing the best ideas and means to create wealth good enough to retire; I’m exigent on doing something about my income stability. Any idea..
@Welsh Macsen Your thoughts and ideas are very remarkable and would as well appreciate it if you enlighten more about the wealth creator you talked about. I want to engage on this scheme.
The parents are not cowards in either case. You re judging them Dave. You re not their judge. Dificulte situation but why create drama before one dies.. it is what it is.
Sometimes it’s not about the money. It’s about the value you had with your children. Sometimes we like to believe are parents actually do love us but then pettiness shows even at their graves. It’s not right if the son doesn’t know the truth of the distribution or atleast tell him WHY
I agree. My sister was ashamed and angry for being raised in a large family of 10 children, leading a rebellious life and making decisions that our parents believed were self-serving (yes, many were). She was, and continues to be, a life-long liar who embellishes the truth to self-promote. Our parents left her a mere $10 in their will. There was also a badly written Trust, which was mismanaged by a Trustee, so I battled the Trustee for distribution of the monies. I felt awful that our parents had short-changed my sister, so I managed to have additional Trust assets distributed to my sister. While it was not the amount the rest of us received, it was certainly more generous than her original inheritance. She wasn’t thankful. She’s angry at me (perhaps for failing to secure more money for her) and refuses to speak to me. Yeah, I think our parents made the proper decision when writing their wills.
@@probablynot1368 There is always two sides of a story. Those parents don’t sound like good people to only leave $10. Might as well leave them nothing and explain why and at-least a letter telling them they loved them. Parents like those are just petty and only make the situation worst. Kids are not born bad…
@@probablynot1368 Your parents sound petty for leaving her $10. It’s like they wanted to make a condemnation of her from the grave. It would have been better to have left her nothing. I had friends who had a very bad server and isn’t of not leaving a tip at all they left her a penny because that said more about how they felt about her than not leaving a tip.
Totally agree. Wills and trusts should be talked about before the fact and not after the fact. Can save other court costs.
"When they pass away" - keywords...they might not die for another 20 years. So how about calm down and keep doing what you doing and expect 0. A lot can change in 20 yrs. If you get something, cool..if not cool. Concentrate on your own life 😉.
She's being proactive. This is a problem that could be resolved before it happens.
When the times comes, the sister can share some her portion with her brother if she feels that his needs were not met. She can choose for herself.
I wish they had a Ramsey's community group so that people that are working on baby steps can be supportive to each other and help encourage one another to keep going through the struggle until they reach their goal. And have others to socialize with that are working towards the same financial goals.
Theres a fan made one on reddit.
Is this the same woman who called about her mother in law bring a hoarder?! They're both Mary from Kalamazoo MI and sound the same... 🤔🤔
Or she could have this conversation with her parents ie how come you are leaving me more money than you are leaving my brother.
not at all this callers fault. I have noticed in these kind of situations usually the kids from the first marriage end up getting less from their dad, then the sibilings who were raised by the dad along with his wife from 2nd or later marriages.
This is true I experienced this in my own life, I am my dads child from his first marriage and I have a brother and sister from his 2nd wife. My dad and I relationship was very estranged not my fault he left me and my mom. Anyways when my dad passed he did not have a will so all the money went to my step mom and her kids. She did give me some money but no where near as much as my brother and sister got.
Same boat here being the first child from fathers first marriage. Although I'm not expecting anything from anyone, it's not my money to begin with. It's wrong to expect something you didn't earn yourself.
Sad. Men are disloyal.
@@genxx2724- exactly
Imagine what a doughnut you'd have to be to be getting 300k and be unhappy with it

He seems much more short with people recently
Cry more
@@ClaxtonBay123 hahah

@@ClaxtonBay123sounds like the truth makes you incredible emotionally immature & defensive.
Be thank full for what you get.
my mom and aunt have torn apart our family bc all is going to one side and the other one is not getting anything - but my aunt has no remorse at all smh
There is no guilt. It's the parents money. They can do what they wish. Also to consider is the caller's father is on his second marriage. The son is from the 1st, and he was not raised by the father.
The money is the husband's and second wife's. They can divide it has They please....
The son is lucky he is getting what he gets.....
Nothing about Jacob and Esau here.
I agree what you saying. If the the caller want a healthy relationship, she should split it evenly. Or treat the situation like a job. You don't talk about money. Somehow the siblings new how much the other siblings received which is a bad idea. Calling the show, tell me the caller is bragging.. Why call Dave for this type of moral question... I agree, legally you are right. If you don't want some type of drama split the money or the money should never been spoke about.
There’s a lot of assumptions built into the story anyway. These people could live 20 years, or one of them needs $1 million of end-of-life care. They’re still alive! I don’t know how the stories going to end and nobody else does either
@@rickm6076 totally agree.
My friend's mom had over 1.2 million from her late husband. She died pennyless 35 years later
Sweetie, if you feel that guilty - do feel free to “even out” the inheritance upon your parents passing. 🤷♀️
True that
Thank you!
Terrible suggestion
@@athens31415 how do you figure?
No one should have to feel that they need to level the playing field. She should be able to take her inheritance without guilt and without feeling she’s doing something wrong if she doesn’t equally share it.
Adult children have no particular right to anything. You don’t automatically get stuff. It happens either due to a will OR the complete absence of a will at all and you’re just next of kin.
thats why some families like the Rothschild are wealthy, and the vast majority are not. You dont leave wealth just for your kids. You do it so future generations hundreds of years in the future will have more opportunity than you did.
It often amazes me how *simple* these callers and their relationship’s are
Best to go on in life and make your own success
Waiting or relying on an inheritance is foolish and stressful. Live your life!
What's the big deal, if they are not close to him, then that is why...
Sharing is caring
It has to do with the parents they feel like their daughter should received more because she's close to them. They are hurt in way 😔 they are doing them wrong.
If it was me I would split it in half.
The parents may have already given her brother a large amount of money that she knows nothing about. Possibly a down payment on a house twenty years ago, and the brother knows it.
An heir has the right to refuse all or a portion of any inheritance. Like most family issues, keep your opinions to yourself and do what you feel is right when the time comes.
This is a common international situation where the bad child gets lil or nothing. If you feel guilty then kill your guilt by sharing a part of your portion. This will help you have a better relation with your sibling.
Or the waste of space sibling gets everything and the one that made something of her life gets nothing.. Ask me how I know.
Sometimes it's not the kid's fault. The parents could just dislike their kid because they look at them as a disappointment or the kid didn't "turn out" like they wanted. Nothing the child can do would rectify the situation. Is this a fair situation then? I think not and hopefully the executor of the estate would help with a fair and impartial inheritance.
If i suspected I'd have a contested will id have a claus in it saying if someone contests it, their portion goes to someone else or burned instead.
The money may be used up in nursing homes, etc.
Families fight over estates like vultures 🙄
Well when the parents pass she can always give him more
I am my grandparents favorite I don't feel guilty I feel proud of that fact
Girl just take the money and be happy. You dont need to be parading around how much you get to him. He wont know
If they’re 20 years apart in age, maybe he already has wealth and she might have more years to use it. So much unknown
That’s a dumb, the brother can pass on the money to her when he passes. The parents are just petty
This is. To something for her to burden herself at all about. No one is entitled to anyone’s inheritance, not even our parent’s assets. Often times determining where assets go after death comes down to “reaping what has been sowed”. If her brother is chapped, leave him and move on.
Daughters often stay closer to their parents and care for them when they are elderly. Maybe that’s why she’s getting more money?
her mom made sure caller was protected as her daughter, at the expense of her step son, its an "evil step mom" trope that just manifest itself. caller js looking for absolution, not equity. that's fine, but it is what it is......
it is possible the second wife contributed considerably to the high assets and wants her portion to go to her child (evenually). It could be that the father associates the child from the first marriage with the first wife and has less regard for him. (Men occasionally see themselves as divorced from their children when they are divorced from the mother. Some are bitter about having to pay child support and alimony and transfer that negativity onto the children from that failed marriage). Maybe the son already got a considerable amount of money or his education costs were much higher and were paid for by the father.
Maybe they are narcs and like to drive a wedge in beween siblings. Maybe the mother got a considerable part of the assets w/o contributing financially, and the father thinks his son will get a part of that as well.
If the father makes a difference of 700,000 just like that - it can create tensions (when there is no understandable reason). Her brother gets 350.000 less than her.
In many countries by default (if there is no will) the wife gets a portion and the rest is divided up to all the children. That can well include out of wedlock children. Normally that portion can be reduced but not to zero. And normally the wife has to get something (of all that the assets that were aquired during the marriage). The other spouse can forgo that (for instance a prenuptial) but in order to go beneath the default legal portion the other spouse will need a signature, it cannot be onesided.
Cutting a child out of the will can only be done in case of serious transgressions. Assault on the parents, serving a long prison sentence, ongoing addiction problems, abandoning them when they were in need of help.
And high gifts (like gifting them assets) have to be considered often many years back (so no weaseling out of having to give some minimum to each and every one of the children.
So favoritism is possible, but there are limits.
Of course the siblings can forego their inheritance, for instance when most is tied up in a company or farm. This is often signed when the parents are still alive. And the other siblings must cooperate. Normally there is some social pressure on the other heirs to be reasonable.
Put some money away in case the brother needs something at some point.
My aunt is doing the same for me and leaving me the house and all of accounts and my 2 brothers get a tiny life insurance each and i have no problem with makes me happy that it comes to me because i was the only to come around just to see her and called her all the time. While my brothers only cone around to ask for money so it's a rub it into their faces.
So many details not discussed! Maybe brother is wealthy already (20 years older) and she’s a struggling single mom. She never said that there was any animosity between brother and parents. They didn’t ask. And, by the way, why did they tell her now how much she’s getting? So they can get gratitude satisfaction? That’s just weird. After they pass, how would they find out how much each is getting? Contrary to popular movie scenes, I don’t think everyone meets at the lawyer’s office for a reading of the will. That’s silly. The attorney sends everyone involved a letter stating what you are getting. Unless the parties compare notes, no one should know what anyone is getting. And if she feels guilty about it, she can give him some more from her pile. I’m just really puzzled at these parents’ motivation.
In this case, if the money is from a life insurance policy, then the insurance company contacts the beneficiaries.
She's not a single mom, she said her husband is a couple years older than she is.
Also, the caller said she AND her daughter are getting $1M total. Maybe the biological son doesn't have children. Not uncommon for grandparents to leave money to grandkids. And I agree - so many questions and details weren't addressed.
The brother might be getting more from his mother. also, maybe the brother is already rich. Also, if you think it is unfair you can always give him some of the money when the time comes. Feel free to do what makes you sleep well at night.
If you sincerely feel guilty about your inheritance, just switch your inheritance with him. Problem solved. Or just moved on and enjoy your inheritance.
Easiest way to not feel guilty split the money willing with your bro regardless of the will I’m sure dad and mom will be proud this both could get an equal head start in life without ruining family reunion plus you sure as hell well look like one massive hero and gain the love and affection of your brother plus if your hardworking and diligent you can always make it in your own.😊
But here is the deal… the siblings shouldn’t get the same because the work and sacrifice is NOT the same. If the work, sacrifice and Love was not the
Same the money left should not be the same. See I have some family members that refused to help do anything at all because they said they couldn’t get away from work..but I left work and traveled 6000 miles to help out…and lost pay because of it…the sibling that didn’t help even though they lived just a short distance away made money at work and I lost money..plus there were very emotional things I had to deal with that he didn’t have to deal with..so his bank account was filling up while mine was being depleted both financially and emotionally for YEARS. So NO…he should not get equal money. Even after the deaths there was a lot of work that took me years in order to repair stuff to sell and get everything all cleaned up. but the family stands around with their hands out. I have shared for sure but Jesus..how much more??? The lazy stand around with their hands out while sacrificing absolutely Nothing.
Simple solution. Give some to him.
This. Guilty gone. She doesn’t want to be honest about it tho that’s why she is guilty.
If the parents are still living, they could change their wills at any time.
This call would have much better handled with Delony. Dave isn't well equipped for this. Nor should he be.
They're only 70. Circumstances will change in 15-20 years.
Easy solution is not to even think about it, as if they never told her. When the time comes, take the inheritance and mind her own business. If her brother makes an issue just call him or go see him and ask him to drop any animosity. And if he can’t, well that's the way its going to be. Just move on with life .
Maybe even do something like a charitable trust for the portion of money that is more than his.
I disagree. Boundaries. No one’s business what I do with my money. I’ll give it to who I decide. I don’t have to explain that out. Doesn’t make them a coward.
You lack integrity and transparency. You seem petty as well
she feels bad because she has a good heart. if she thinks that the inheritance she receive more than enough she could give her brother what she feels good about.
Parents can do what they want. What's the worry?
Maybe the bulk of the income was from her mother and he was gone during the time her parents were married. Maybe the daughter will have a bigger roll in taking care of them, he is getting property or he already got a chunk of money. She can give him a portion if she wants to.
We are accountable before God with how we handle money and love each other. Just because we can "legally" doesn't silence God's judgment on our actions. Remember how the prodigal son was treated... that reflects God's love for us. Do we follow money or God?
Good point.
Take the money 👌guilt-free
sounds like the stepmom pushed him away, I would like to hear his side!!!
Isn't there an IRS limit on how much she can give away without being taxed?
yes, the tax man always gets his cut.
I couldn't find the right forum but perhaps you can offer advice. Years ago, I inherited a beautiful home from my Grandma in a ritzy neighbourhood in California. I made a promise I would raise the children I never bothered to have there. However, my husband insisted that we should sell and move to a much smaller place. He says it's ridiculous for 2 people to live in a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. I can't bring myself to sell something that has brought me so close to my grandma & I don't know how to separate. My home is worth over 2 million. We both have successful careers. I don't know if I'm ready and feel like I've betrayed my Grandma. Please advise.
You're selling a house, not your grandma.
Each family has its own reasons for decisions in the will, and there is no place for guilt over those decisions....they are doing what they think is right. My very wealthy friend has told me that she will be giving a "double share" to her only daughter and a "single share" to each of her sons. In my mind, this is not right, but not my business. She has her own rationale. And, given that the caller's parents are 70, it is not unreasonable to think that they might live another 20 years and no one really knows what their estate may look like at that time.
Maybe there are two insure policies on dad one for him one for you your mother has own policy that goes to you. He wasn't raised the family home and has no emotional ties to it or the things in it
There are two different wealth streams possibly in play and she seems to know little about her brothers mother and or if how much front loaded money the brother received. It should also be factored how much money is the result of her adoptive mothers contribution. You guys get hard questions sometimes. It's why I like watching.
Excellent point. they could be giving her the taxable Ira accounts and him the tax free accounts are assets
Take a killer vacation and send him a postcard.
I wonder if they are also factoring in for their grandchild with that sum.
First of all, you need to understand what is included in "inheritance" via the probate of the estate (usually real property, checking accounts, etc) and then what is transferred through the beneficiary process (IRAs, life insurance policies, brokerage accounts, etc.).
Hopefully, Mom and Dad have their Final Papers in order.
We also know that wills are contested all the time..so what you think could happen may not....
Don’t feel guilty. Just accept the decisions of your parents. I’m sure they’ve considered all of the options and nuances.
And no, Dave, no one is a coward here.
Their money. They can give it to whoever they want. Anyone who doesn't accept that isn't worth arguing with.
Yes they can give to whoever they want. They can donate it to Putin for all they care. Parents are petty, especially if they don’t tell their other son the truth.
Keep in mind that he ywpilldt inheritance from his mom and she gets it from her mom AND dad
I thought it was my sister calling u. Thank god.
AND maybe they've lent the son money over the years and they've deducted it from his inheritance. Regardless, not your problem.
Maybe they think you will do more for them later on. In 10 to 20 years whos to know what will be there
By law, you are required to give an adopted child a bigger inheritance...You're not allowed to treat adopted kids as "inferior" to blood children.
thats only because non blood has to pay higher taxes on it.
The way I see it is, the brother can go get the other $700k from his mother. I'm sure their father was paying alimony/spousal maintenance all the time he was growing up and was with his mother.....
Jacob and Esau
Try to maintain a relationship with your brother if you feel guilty about receiving money,after they pass if he is trustworthy and you feel he should have more give him some of what you have
I'm pretty sure my parents are donating the entirely of their large fortune to charity. But if they did leave to my siblings and I, I would definitely just redistribute it to my siblings who got less. No question.
If it was because they judged the sibling for something shallow, such as “that sibling is short, or less attractive so I don’t respect them equally” then sure yes.
But if it’s for a valid reason, like that sibling was spoiled, and/or had a baby with someone in a different race, and/or hates America, or they just don’t respect their family or people, THEN that’s a very valid reason IMO to deny them equal inheritance. I still wouldn’t leave them with nothing. But probably less
@@charlesg7926 Wow, Charles. “Having a baby with someone from a different race”? Be a human being and examine your heart. Don’t pass on that inheritance please. Make the world a better place.
My brother will get about $200k more then me. I don't agree, but it is not my choice.
He's getting $300K? I'd be fine with that.
I'd rather I get nothing and my Parents spend it on themselves.
Also. The brother is 20yrs older which puts him in his mid 50s. Maybe he has more financial stability or has no kids to leave any extra money to... We don't know! We do know that she has a family to provide for and a closer relationship with the parents.
Brother made parents mad... So parents are making it a financial issue.
I did not feel right accepting covid money from the government so I sent it back. I have 2 brothers. I will not accept a larger inheritance than them. By law if I have to accept a larger portion then I will divide it equally on my own.
She won’t get much from her brother’s mom.
How we know if his mom even has anything?
This scenario changes if the dad passes before step-mother. Step-mother can call an audible and leave everything to Mary.
= Blended family problems!
Kinda wish that Dave turned the focus managing instant wealth through an inheritance.
Umm
If this was me I would be calling and asking on how to emotionally deal with my parents death when time comes not how to enjoy their money
I received an inheritance and I would much rather have my mother. Haven't spent any of it. It hurts too much.
If you are not comfortable with the money you will get, don’t worry, I am accepting donations.
Um, um, um, um....
