I was smart with my money in some ways, though I never accumulated a lot. Since I have no descendants, and my wife spends money like crazy, and earns more than I, My goal is to die when I spend my last silver round. Heh heh. I retired early and moved abroad, we had to return to USA with suitcases. So I spent money to get us setup in the USA.
Most people don't do what they need to do ahead of time, and the Nursing Homes drain you slow or the hospital drains you fast. They even send Estate People to sell all your things. We built a house in the Philippines for wife's retirement. We are now renting in the USA @ 1995, but to buy the house would be 3k +Tax, Ins, Upkeep, no thanks... I'm almost 66...
I'm good at buying, but mediocre at selling, and I hate Banks, Last Home loan was on a rental @ 2.74% last 2 car loans were @ 0% and .9%
I plan on going to the Philippines for half a year when its cold here each year. Then returning here to work if I need to. I like the People of the Philippines, and I can help more there.
