The world’s most perfect husband and I manage my parents’ investments – and we’ve done a damn good job.

My dad is extremely frugal. My mom loves to shop. The contrast is endless entertainment.

Six weeks ago dad asked me to invest a large liquidity surplus from his company.

I’ve tried a tax-free account for several. years. The return is pathetic.

So I arranged a LEI number and moved the money into a proper investment account. The invested part is now up more than 16 %.

But I’m only using a small fraction of the surplus.

The rest is being held hostage.

Why? Because my 80-year-old father is shockingly bad at invoicing — despite me chasing him every single week.

Until he gets significantly better and faster at sending invoices, I refuse to release more capital.

And knowing my dad… this hostage situation is going to last a very long time.
