Laurie Halse Anderson: Admit Failure, Divide Money
on Friday, December 19, 2014Laurie Halse Anderson Money Quotation saying we could have an alternative Christmas if we simply admit failure and divide the dough and split. Laurie Halse Anderson said:
It’s a shame we just can’t admit that we have failed at family living, sell the house, split up the money, and get on with our lives. Merry Christmas” — Laurie Halse Anderson
Laurie Halse Anderson is suggesting that instead of struggling through family problems at Christmas, it may be better to admit failure, sell your family home, split up any money from the sale, and move on with your separate lives. The quote is using a somewhat tongue-in-cheek tone to say that dealing with family issues can ruin the holidays, so it may be preferable to end the family living situation and divide assets instead of continuing to have problems.
Anderson suggests selling the family home and splitting up the money from the sale because she feels that continuing to live together in the family home if there are ongoing family problems will only lead to continued issues during holidays like Christmas. By selling the home and dividing the money, each family member could move on separately and avoid struggling through more family conflicts at Christmas.
