Lord help me if my kids find that out.”

I love to take my son and his family on trips several times a year. Since I’m paying, we go places I want to go, do things I want to do and stay where I want to stay.

They always thank me after each trip and I always respond that I’m just doing my best I can with what money I have so they will have memories after I’m gone.

The “what do you want for Christmas” exchange is also interesting because I remind them that they need to be thoughtful about what they buy me because they will be getting it back one of these days. Have received some very interesting gifts including a new boogie board and kayak.

Guess Dec. 31 will be a bad day to be in the hospital with so many ventilators being unplugged before midnight.

I love my kids, but they are a practical sort, and hate taxes. My youngest never shows up with green bananas to leave with me. ;)

2009 would have been fine after the slip/fall off the mountain, but no... I was 'that close'. I was past the hard part, now I have to do it all over again.

The green bananas is toooooo funny. I guess I can add the “I know how you hate to pay taxes” to my list of reasons for spending their pittance of an inheritance also. Thanks.

Just because someone’s father worked all his life to build an estate does not mean that he didn’t want to leave 55% of it to some homie in Detroit instead of his own kids.

Clarification please. I thought the limit was $13,000? I'll admit I'm confused.

Let's just say that I was very, very disappointed when I woke up in surgical recovery. I was expecting something completely different. ;)

BTW, that moment of peace by myself, in the blizzard, on the rocks, passing in and out of consciousness... and I realized that even no human was with me, I wasn't alone? Most memorable moment of my life. The pain sucked. But the peace was amazing.

If I was rich I long ago would have beat feet out of the US, the land of the free has turned into a nightmare of taxes and regulation that is killing small businesses. Sad what we’ve let happen.

A Good year to die?

Probably didn't fit into your time-frame, but remember when George Steinbrenner picked his year to die?

The libs were incensed that they missed out on picking his estate clean.

From the article...

In addition to the lifetime gift-tax exclusion, individuals can continue to give a tax-free gift of $13,000...a year

I'm thinking the $5 million is lifetime and the $13,000 is annual.
