(12,582 posts)group, I'd rather be in then sitting out of it. I'm going
In with some coworkers. I'll also buy 4 tickets for home (one
for each of us). If I didn't go in with the coworkers and
they hit, I'd never forgive myself. The term "left behind"
would suddenly take on a whole new meaning.
First thing I'd do would be hire a lawyer, then set up funds
for our kids and their cousins, and a few non-profits I deal
with (arranged so they couldn't touch the principal?)
I'd also set my inlaws up so they wouldnt have a worry - FIL
was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's this summer, and mom
MIL with macular degeneration and is losing her vision. I
personally wouldn't want to move to FL, but I would buy 3
houses down there, near the inlaws, that relatives could use
when they visited them (one for each of the siblings). We all
visited at the same time this summer and Dad loved it. Keeps
asking when we'll do it again.
.......hmmm, it's nice to dream......
