[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 622719, member: 1963"] Terry, I find your suggestion to be amusing as it would be perfect payback for what my parents did when I was in my teens. Different culture and all of that, but when I started working, I was expected to contribute to the household even though I was only 15. It was just the way things were done in my family. Imagine my surprise when I moved out at 18 and had my deposits, first and last, kitchen stuff, window stuff, bedding, and all of that supplied by my parents who had socked away every dime I'd ever given to the household! Not only was it a wonderful gesture, but it was a loving lesson in how a little bit per week adds up to more than you think it would. I'm 53 and mum is 79, so medications and potential need for nursing care are an issue already. She has all that planned for as well as final expenses. Luckily, she was smart and chose my younger sister the stock broker's assistant as her executrix. I can barely balance a checkbook. [/QUOTE]
