I agree. I think the ideal plan is that the last check to clear on my account is to bury me. My kids have enough of their own reserves. I work and earn as much as I did 10 years ago. I plan to re-retire in 3 years at age 80. I figure I’ll take the $1.4 million I have in assets down to zero in 20 years, but likely won’t live that long. My wife is the same age and will no doubt survive. She’ll spend what I leave behind or give it away. That’s our plan.
Life is still good.
In other words, "Don't spend your inheritance quite yet. I'm not done with it!"
