These particular relatives could have saved, but instead, the rest of the family or society is taking care of them now.
I say, go out there an cruise. Just have a good plan to remain self sufficient over the long term and its a beautiful thing.

Ya, no, it's not bullsh!t, He' should get as much as he can with what he has. I have a 401k and investments and I want the best return I can get. I'm just say'n, you put 200 grand in my saving's, I could get by pretty comfy on the interest off set with the odd job and under the table back country charters.
