> I think most people could actually "choose family"

It's all fun and games until grandma passes with a $10M net worth without a will, and the 5 children and 20 grandchildren start a real life session of battle royale

My grandfather barely had a net worth when he passed away. It amazed me how awful some people became, seemingly overnight.

I was better off without those people, and that's quite the realization before you're 10.

The farther I get, the happier I am. Put me in the "choose your own" camp for family.

What gets me is how much energy some families put into fighting each other over something that is really not worth that much, be it money or otherwise. I know it can be relative but the instances I witnessed, the actual parties could have made more money just even doing gigs in the hours they spent fighting, not to mention money spent on legal fees. It boggles the mind

Crabs in a bucket.

It's exactly the same mindset that says that other people shouldn't get healthcare or welfare.
