[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 399431, member: 1514"] No she didnt indicate the amount but...my thinking is this on the CD. I am fairly sure that my parents started saving for my future from the time I was young...that is just the way they would have done it. Obviously I didnt go off to college or cost them a ton in a wedding. Sure over the years my dad has given me maybe 3k in help but we paid back most of that but then he also sent it back to us...lol. That isnt including the xmas gifts or birthday gifts of course. I am pretty sure that while I was growing up there was a "Janet" account. When they divorced I have no idea how that was handled. Maybe they split it. If so, or even if not and he had to start all over again, that would be almost 30 years ago. If we are talking about the original CD's, I know my mom had some in the mid 70's and early 80's that were earning over 10% interest. I know certain financial stuff about the divorce. Things like my mom came out with about $130K which was half the house and bank accounts and that was in 83. The house sold for $175 and the rest was money and the whole household item splits. My dad worked another 10 or so years past that too. [/QUOTE]
