[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandparents were the same way. Always wanted to go to Hawaii but never went. They lived so frugally. Same clothes same carpet, couch for 50 years . When my grandpa died a few years ago I inherited a lot . My grandma is still alive but has no concept of how much money she  has. She never worked and they lived so frugal. We knew before he died they were worth a few million but now we know it’s a lot more than a few.  It makes me sad they never went to Hawaii. I have tried to get my grandma to go with me but she doesn’t want to fly anymore . [/quote]

Same with my mother. Father was a workaholic miser and she said she'd travel when he was gone. Now she's scared to go anywhere. I offered to go with her to do whatever she needed me to do, whether it's plan, carry stuff, translate, or just be a buddy. No dice.

What was it all for? The satisfaction of seeing the balance on a bank statement?

what is people's definition of "workaholic" in this age versus back before?

i feel like people work a ton more now but maybe that's just my mistake.[/quote]
