I attended a memorial service yesterday. My friend died at 63. She was the picture of health, working out at the gym several times a week, watched what she ate, a part-time massage therapist. Cause of death, a brain aneurism. There were no warning symptoms, only a sudden death, a terse announcement, a quickly assembled memorial.
Back at home, her husband talked about some of the things the wife wanted. New furniture, a new car to replace her aging Chrysler. To which the husband responded "next year." Oh, they both watched their pennies.
So many times, investors focus on ending up with the highest net worth at the end of their lives. "Next year" may not come, enjoy the time we have. Good health and blessings to all.
