Thank you my friend SSG Robert Mark Odom for posting an interesting thought which seems to be selfish.
1. Years ago my darling wife and I set up a trust to designate funds for specified ministries, the surviving spouse [assumed to be my darling wife] and our sons.
2. I taught my sons to invest monthly and the reminded them that investing each month would enable them to take advantage of ups and downs of value. When the fund value went down they purchased more and when it went up the total value goes up.

Here's the rest of the text: Between 60 and death. It's time to use the money you saved up. Use it and enjoy it. Don't just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it. Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a son or daughter-in-law with big ideas for your hard-earned capital.

SSG Robert Mark Odom This is true to an extent. Most of my cash money (whats left of it!) will be divided between my two daughters who I know will go out a buy a new car the day they get it. My house and real estate will go to my son who I know will most likely never sell it for a fast buck but will appreciate it for the rest of his life. He is the thrifty one. Let me tell you, he is so tight he squeaks when he walks and all the oil in the world won't loosen him up!
