I ask this because I am a trust fund "baby," and get frustrated a lot with my trustees.
I put all my money into my trust through out my career thinking it would make me secure when I was older, but it also makes me sort of dependent on them for big decisions!
I can't make a BIG change, or tap a large amount of money without their approval.
This is bothering me now because I wish to move but they think it is unsafe for me.

I should be clear: I did inherit a trust fund from my grandfather and I added to it. It was set up to be managed by bankers by him and I just went along with it when I was very young. I made enough to make changes with my own income and did not put those monies I used in the trust.

Now I am more dependent on the trust and I can't seem to make any impulsive moves, or big changes!

This should be a whine.

They complain that I give away too much money. They complain that I take too many risks now with my health.

They will not consider some traveling I want to do, saying it is unsafe for me.

They won't let me move "home," saying it is not safe for me to be in New Orleans again!

Is anyone in the position of being blocked in this way?
