[quote=Anonymous]Just enjoy it and thank her. Assuming she has a good head on her shoulders, she will figure it out. In the last few years, my finances have become pretty good (in my mind and well above the average American). I decided for Christmas I wanted to start taking my parents on experiences/trips. We made the decision we were going to see the brown bears at Katmai. We were going to fly first class, stay at really nice hotels (in Seattle, obviously not in Katmai). Trip never happened. One parent had a major medical event and their physical abilities are greatly altered (they still get around but that trip is unrealistic for them at this stage). The other parent was so stressed from the other’s medical event that it likely accelerated a chronic disease that had been under control. They died. I am not advocating for complete financial irresponsibility, but wish I wouldn’t have waited until my finances were perfect. [/quote]
