I only recently started paying attention to my “portfolio” and was very pleasantly surprised to see I was much better prepared for retirement than I thought. I started later in life than experts say you should and scattered little bits here and there, but pretty much just ignored things for 30 years. It’s amazing how several little things ignored for a long time can add up. I think I will be able to be comfortable when I retire – as long as I am careful. Nothing like Lola, but a lot better than I thought.
That is why you never tell family what you have. When you buy something big, send them a picture with a simple note: “Spending your inheritance!” That usually gets them going.

Actually, most kids don’t think that deeply.

So let’s be nice to Lola so we can get her money later. Such sweet loving son and daughter in law! >{
