[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ILs take their three children and families on trips every other year. We've been to Hawaii, Spain, Middle East, Argentina, beach houses, mountain houses, etc. They refuse to let us pay for anything on these trips. They have the money and it's how they want to spend it. We are very very thankful. WE love spending time with them and kids growing up close to their grandparents, cousins, and us with our nieces, nephews, etc. [/quote]

This seems wonderful!  I am hearing more and more stories like this.  You can't take it with you![/quote]

You can't, but my grandmother is 102 and going strong. She lives in a Somerby retirement community where she spends her days doing all kind of activities and gossiping with other people. If she had spent all of her money in her 70s, she would be in a room in one of her children's homes, with nothing but the television for entertainment most of the time. I'm 45. There are no more children to bond with in her kids' homes, and they are retirement age themselves.[/quote]
