Oh, that's right! It's not enough just to put the kids through college and make their first home down payment. You've got to set them up with an annuity and bequeath a tidy sum. Otherwise you "didn't make the wisest investments."
Shoot, I don't plan on dying with more then fifteen cents in the bank. Now that's financial planning.

That was my first impression, too. My folks died when I was a kid and I inherited bupkis. Planning on inheriting a fortune from your parents is not sound financial planning. But on the other hand,this couple seems to have genuinely tried to do the right things and got caught in the economy wringer. If I've learned one thing along the way, it's make sure you are qualified to do at least three different types of jobs. That, beyond anything else, has saved me over the years.
