[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 583107, member: 1233"] Lisa, I think part of it is because of the Depression. I have found that those who lived through the Depression or had parents who lived through it, often have this determination to make sure they leave money for their kids. The closest I have come to a real explanation is that after living through the depression and wondering when or where or even if they would get a next meal, they wan to leave a substantial amount so that their kids never experience that. Or it could be something else entirely. As for transpo issues, many areas have a bus or taxi system that will help the elderly get to appointments of all kinds. Some are just a discount on a taxi, othes are special transportation systems. If you call legal aid or social security in her area, they may be able to help with transportation. [/QUOTE]
