Thank you for an amazingly honest and emotional article. Both my parents died peacefully in their assisted living (skilled nursing) rooms. This was the best last gift to their children. We were able to visit as long as we could without having to worry about their care. I intend to do the same for my girls. My wife is a great nurse, but on my death bed I want her to be my wife, not my nurse.
Great Post and dead on about joining clubs, I share the exact same feelings but never considered I was being the snob. Maybe true. But I refuse to pay big money to play golf with the elite. My cow pasture public course is good enough for my game. I did join (free) my local cigar shop. (yes I know it's bad for you). I've gained immediate friends and learned a lot about a lot of guy stuff. I highly recommended it, but keep it to a reasonable amount of sticks a week. thanks for a good read.
My father invested all during the 60s thru his death a few years ago. He proudly showed me his stock book with all the winners and losers. A buy and hold guy (except Apple!! :() He did ok. I had no idea the 70s were so rough for holding stocks. Unfortunately he lost his investment sense and put all his money in BAC and lost most of it in the 08 crash. Not sure how to evaluate all of this except the latter move. Thanks for a great article !
