Saving money for your child's future is a long and arduous task, but many parents try to get ahead of their child's future expenses to give them the life they never had. It's every parent's primal urge to try and secure a fortuitous future for their offspring, and the working mom in this next story was adamant about slaving away at her career so that her son could live a comfortable life. Channeling her inner chess-playing mentality, she was here to play the long game of stable finances.
After months of working overtime hours, picking up shifts, and putting her career on the forefront, she was rewarded with a hefty bonus from her bosses. Knowing they could use the money for a lavish vacation or a new wardrobe for themselves, she decided to look forward instead of seeking instant gratification, putting the money in a trust for her son to ensure he could be more financially sound in the future.
However, her entitled sister-in-law heard about the cash, and like a flock of hungry buzzards, the woman's husband's side of the family started swarming, hoping to get a piece of what they thought was a communal, family bonus check.
