But...you didn't talk about something really important: giving money away.
We have always taught the children a three pile system: save, give and spend.
Why don't more people talk about the middle pile?
We know you are a generous person. We have been the beneficiary of it.
You need to mention that aspect of finances. It is so crucial. Most people do not think about this.
If I take the fact of my death seriously, if I know there is an end to this world, then I need to include the reality of the future world to come in my thinking.
Because, if you believe there is a transcendent reality, my charitable giving is not the benevolent opposite of shrewd investing. My charitable giving is investing at its shrewdest.
If there is something beyond this world(an everlasting eternity), then I need to factor that into my investing.
You’ll never see a hearse pulling a U-haul. Why? Because you can’t take it with you.
Rockefeller was one of the wealthiest men who ever lived. Upon his death, someone asked his chief finance manager, “How much money did John D. leave?” His reply was classic: “He left . . . all of it.” :)
You can’t take it with you, but as one author said, you can send it on ahead.
