but I’m not a fanatic about it...I used to be but I visited my Dad’s grave last month and saw he died ten years from my age. I truly sat and thought “I gots no kids, no family, I don’t want the government to grab what I DO have so why am I being monetarily conservative?” Ya know, I’m spending the crap I’ve got now and ...who gives a shiite?
My parents are still around, but I'm in a similar situation. Once they're gone (a long time from now, one hopes), I'll be sitting on a pretty good nest egg. Without any kids, there's no one to which to leave it...so I'll be taking a lot of expensive vacations starting in a few years when I retire. Why leave it for the State to confiscate?
That's the plan, anyway.
