This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't dying poor a good thing? I don't want to live poor, but you can't take it with you. I'd ideally spend my last dollar right before taking my last breath.

In 2025 the exemption is 13.99 million per individual from any estate taxes. I certainly have never had a family member with an estate anywhere near that size
