thanks, AS. that's exactly what i could foresee, us having to live a "diminished lifestyle". there are many ways we could have used that money to enjoy our lives and the fruits of OUR labors.

i have nothing against assisting our children when they are adults, just not financially. i don't want to give my own adult son money, let alone someone else's.

there comes a time when we have to realize our job is done on the money-giving front.

i'll suggest the book. thank you for the suggestion!
