First $1,000 would be donated. The rest would be split between ourselves, and a sister-in-law and her husband and kids, and a brother-in-law and his wife, all of whom are as financially challenged as we are. Would be used by all of us to pay bills.

Know-it-all Do-gooders who know what's best for you.

Inquisitive.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
Not really. Way too practical-minded.
