My dad (although I love him very much) is known all around the world as being kind of tight.
If there was ever one person that could find out a way to take there money with them when they died that would be him. This one time he was out checking on a job he might do and one of the hangers asked him to take a few steps closer and dad ask "why?"the hanger said"I just want to see if you squeak when you walk!"
Just the other day Dad went to JC. Penney's because he knew they were having a 40% off sale and he wanted to get a pair of boxer's. He got the 40% off and also had a coupon for $10.00 off any sale price. He was going to pay for the boxer's with his Discover card so he could get that 1% cash back but when the clerk told him the price he held his head up high and said "I'll be paying for that with cash today." Now here's the kicker
1 pair of boxer's $20.00
1 40% off
1 $10.00 off coupon
Total......$2.17
All I can say is ...wow...
1 40% off

Wow is right, but it was 3 pairs of boxers. So thats even a better buy.
You know he is tight with his money, but so is your uncle Vern, and all your great aunts, that died with loads of money. HUmmm
love you

Mom may be right... but then again, you can't take that money with you. One thing many of them seem to do is not plan for their death. It's great that they built a stockpile of wealth up, and they all lived good lives so that's great too. But if you want to leave it for the living members of your family, be sure you plan ahead of time -- otherwise you'll just be leaving a lot of money for the lawyers to pick apart. And that's just not cool.
