Don’t Make Me Say I Told You So viii

going to the beach, playing in the park, or just lying on the grass
watching the clouds roll by. I couldn’t do that because of the

need for money. Making sure that we had a home to live in, cars
to drive, and food on the table dictated that I get up and go to

work every day.

In retirement, having money means having the ability to travel

to visit your kids or grandkids whenever you choose. It means

having the ability to pay for a family vacation that includes your
children and grandchildren. It means having the money to take
your wife on that dream trip to Europe you’ve talked about all

those years. In short, money can buy you time with friends and

family.

Money allows you to do the things you want to do. Maybe

you’ve dreamed about becoming a gourmet chef. Maybe you’ve
always wanted to play the top 20 golf courses in the world.
Perhaps you would like to volunteer to teach impoverished

children in Appalachia. In any case, all of these things have one

thing in common: they will require that you have adequate free
time and financial resources.
