Trudging overfed to the end of the year I ended the trip on the couch. None of the bowl games interested me. Same for the movies. The Twilight Zone Marathon was a favorite New Years Day happening around our house. My attention span was too short this year. Maybe that's why the ad caught my attention--- "Don't Outlive Your Money"
Why not? Why should I not outlive my money? I outlived my oldest son and the world didn't stop. It should have, but it didn't. If I outlive my money, what's the penalty? Is it worse to outlive your money or your children?
What do you have to do to not outlive your money? Make more? Save more? Chase it. Capture it. Fight for it. Worry about it. Sounds like fear driven hoarding. I had that experience. I'm not interested in repeating past lives.
If I have nothing will I be less of a person? Does money in the bank translate into compassion in the heart? Isn't it possible that if I have more compassion than money I might have something to offer the world in my last days?
I couldn't save my son. I doubt I can save money. I love my sons, not money. If the money's gone, I won't miss it. I don't have the emotional energy to miss more than my son. Someone else can worry about money. As far as I know, they'll make more.
