[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can look at this a couple of different ways. I think you have to take a generous view and think he was more concerned with making sure that his money would last his whole life and his wife would not want for anything after he passed than that he was cheap or stingy. Many older people keep using old appliances that aren't functioning at top performance because using something until it actually dies was just the way things went. [/quote] OP here - yes that is how we are looking at it for a positive spin. the wife never worked and really didn't have the skills to do much (balance checkbook, take out garbage, etc). So he make sure there was enough money to have this all taken care of. i guess the frustration was that he should have known we and the rest of the family had the means to make sure MIL was taken care of no matter what.[/quote]
