While Mimi and I audition for a home renovation show—starring ourselves as the unpaid labor—Mimi’s siblings have taken a bold, minimalist approach: contributing virtually nothing. Their strategy appears to hinge on a revolutionary financial model where equity is generated through patience, absence, and the occasional well-timed inquiry about “when is it going to be listed.” Meanwhile, we’ve become intimately familiar with every crack, stain, and dust particle in the house, essentially earning honorary degrees in wall repair and floor resurrection. It’s truly inspiring to watch others, once again, master the fine art of inheritance without the burden of effort.
