Before you die.
Referring to the stupid amounts of money that you may have tied up in your house, or lying asleep, in the bank "for a rainy day".
I've started to buy food for UK Foodbanks. Every time I buy a tin of baked beans I buy another one, for the Foodbank.
One for me, and one for you. And tins of stew, and corned beef - anything that's easy to pass on....
Many of my acquaintances live in big houses, and drive flashy cars (even Porches and Jags). Why do they need 6-bedroomed houses and drive a vehicle stuffed with cost?
That's not to say that I'm so much holier. I've got 4 bedrooms, when I only need one, and 2 (not so flashy) vehicles.
If you hang on to your wealth, when you don't really need it, you run the serious risk of becoming smug, and sneering at those who aren't in your league. That's not a good place to be.
Yes, I hear you say, but I'm hanging on to my wealth for my children. Well, I inherited wealth, and I didn't need it then, and I don't need it now. It's still in the bank. Your children, if you've done half a job on them bringing them up, don't need it either...
Offload the dosh, dump the dough. Choose who gets it - you've earned at least some of your wealth, so it's rightfully your choice who you give it to - but do it now before you die.
