[quote=Anonymous]My father died a few years ago and was similar - Greatest Generation and extremely frugal. He spent money on education for the kids and grandkids, weddings and help with homes, but neglected his own care when he got older. Hated to go out to nice places, drove instead of flew on trips, and didn’t treat his friends to meals. He was fiercely independent and we had to lie and spend our own money getting house repairs and lawn care. Died with enough wealth that a 706 was required. I have a few financially hang ups now as a result of our childhood but overall am very grateful. I knew this legacy would be the majority of my retirement. [/quote]
