Maybe she'll be the first to learn how to take it with her!
Bwahahaha, that's funny.
One thing great about how I was raised was how my family treated money. My mom is one of seven children, and I guess this had been passed through generations, because it was just a natural thing with them and all of us. Whoever had the money to spare would help out whoever didn't have any at that moment. It's hard to describe so I'll give an example.
My mom's oldest sister and her husband needed to move to a different house because if husband's MS getting worse. They were on the waiting list for quite a while and out of the blue were offered a suitable house. They didn't really have enough money to comfortably move (new carpet and such), so my grandma gave them money for it. Then shortly after, also out of the blue, my grandma gets the appartment in the retirement home that she'd been wanting.
Now
she didn't have enough money to comfortably move. Now my dad's business is doing quite well, so my parents gave my grandma money for it. They didn't realize until later that they'd basically come full circle, since my grandma has helped them out financially in the past, too. My parents give us some money every once in a while, too. She always says that my inheritance won't be big, but she'd rather we get it now so they can watch us enjoy it. Same thing my grandparents always said.
We are a very drama-less family, so no doubt that is a big part of why this works, but I love it... not because of the money, but to me it shows we all care about eachother and we just share
life. Nobody sits back and relies on the other, but if you need help (also with other things, like the actually moving house part, lol), they're there. I love my family. :blowkiss:
