For me, wanting money is to have a security I didn't have in my first (abusive) marriage. I don't believe, short of winning billions in some lottery for which I haven't bought a ticket, that I will ever have enough money to feel truly secure enough to overcome the trauma, but I am trying in other ways as well. That said, I came here to tell you, Jonathan Clements, what a truly, profoundly deep impact you had on me with the article you gifted us AARP members in the February / March 2025 AARP magazine. To share so openly all that you are thinking and doing with respect to your finances now that you have knowledge of your relatively imminent passing is something for which I am, and likely will be eternally, grateful. Thank you!
