Could there have been two meetings?

Could there have been two meetings?

I remember two meetings.

One meeting my father discussed with us the question of what he had done with his business and his monetary affairs.  He had the whole thing regulated by the insurance company.  They would take over his company and his estate and they would administer his affairs.  He would get a certain sum of money like a salary and this would last for his whole life.  

But when he died nothing would remain.

Just before he died he said he had nothing to give us as regards to money.  But he had two houses and furniture and my mothers jewels and an industrial building.  But no cash.

That was one meeting.

The other meeting my father said that there was money from the estate and that I would be provided for.  I would live much better than I had been living.  to the tune of  forty thousand dollars a year or something like that.  But I would not be able to receive the welfare cheque any more if I had that much money.

So there were two meetings, each with different messages.  This is extremely important for someone who lives like I do on last resort financial assistance.  They involve different ways of dealing with my future.  I should start right now with figuring out what to do so that I could be in the best situation that I could be.

For example the question of where I would live will be different for the two sums.  And certainly what I will be doing as I live.  with the larger sum of money I could conceivably go on vacations or cures something which I so much miss in my life.  

And then there is the question even of day to day needs.  If I have no money at all from the estate  my last resort financial assistance is going to be cut when I reach retirement age.  What in the world will I do then?
