My goal for 2021 is to rent a cottage for 3 weeks on a beach where all of our children can come to visit to celebrate our 50^th Wedding Anniversary a year late.

My letter to money..

I have always wanted to live a comfortable life so we could help our children, grandchildren and just have an easier life than our parents.  It’s also allowed me to give to those in need.

My father loved money because it made him feel powerful.  My husband loves money because he likes to see it accumulate and it helps him feel secure.  I mention these because it helps me establish why I love money.  It allows me to do the things I want for myself, our family, and others without asking for permission from anyone.  We were able to allow our children to go through college without debt because of money.  I also love money because it gives me a sense of security.  In relation to my business, I have had a successful career and love that money allows me to feel confident about when my next opportunity arises.  I do not live from hand to mouth.

Money has allowed us to make wise real estate investments over the years and to save for our retirement.   It has allowed us the opportunity to visit our families in Italy for a month, some of whom we’ve never met (this was a dream of a lifetime for us).  Without money none of this could have happened.
