What I wanted to do starting at a young age of six is take his money to buy stocks. I have a near perfect prediction rate. I wanted to do something similar to the Medici's. That family grew their wealth over five generations and invented much of modern accounting. They're descendants are still incredibly wealthy.

He did mention not liking the Wall Street guys that inherited their wealth. Claims a lot of them were assholes. They were worth more than him, though.

All I wanted to do was buy Amazon shares in high school, and after college buy Bitcoin. There's a bunch of people on Wall Street who own major firms who inherited their initial funds around their teen years. That's what I've been trying to do for the past 20 years. But, my idiot father thought stuff like Facebook were worthless. I had to hide money from him in order to invest a dime.

My father earned it all. He also went ahead and fucked me over with decades of investing going back to high school. I have multiple degrees but could never find consistent work with it. I watched students with GPAs far below mine get hired in place of me. I basically just stay home, and avoid human interaction.

@MichaelHall I have to provide receipts. Usually, you just call and tell them you need money, and they inform you if you can do that.

I also have decades of psychological reports that should support abuse.

I asked them to set it up a specific way so the trustee acts as an advisor and does not have full control, and they intentionally made it as hard as possible to access the money.

I have psychologists who agree.

Anyone have advice for loading background Sprite maps? I'm trying to do it as efficiently as possible for a grid of 25 locations. So, I'm thinking only have 5 sprite backgrounds loaded at a time, when applicable, for clean transition from location to location. (Like The original Zelda.) So, should I load up all 25 at once, or only keep the minimum up? (I just want to avoid confusion sprite variables are up.)

@Jimmy Articy: draft SE looks pretty nice, but expensive.
