    Then his mom died…His father remarried someone half his age. Though she wasn’t necessarily a gold-digging spend-like-there’s-no-tomorrow, she obviously needed to be well kept. A year later, his dad died too. Guess were most of that hard earned/saved money went?

    Morale of the story. If you pass away, chances are your spouse will remarry. Why should you make it easy for your spouse’s future significant other to enjoy what you should have enjoyed yourself.

    This is not at all a typical scenario, I think. In general, when a widow(er)s contemplate a 2nd marriage, they will ensure through wills and prenups that their children will inherit most or all of the estate.

    So the whole just-spend-it-or-else-someone-unworthy-will is suspect.

    I liked (as usual) what Scredycat said.

    I will add that children can get birthday presents from their parents. That should be enough.

    The purpose of a children’s birthday gathering should be to enjoy some fun together and some tasty treats, not some endless exchange of junk that should never have been produced in the first place.

    It is socialism to keep the profits among the members? Now I have heard everything.

    Scaredy, you didn’t call yourself scaredycat for no reason, right? That may be your answer ;).

    I would be interested in hearing your worry-list from 1998 or 1999, right before the stock market bubble burst. Or some assorted years of your choice.

    Oh, and do tell what website you used to buy the house!
