Are we on our way to an actual depression (as opposed to the Great Recession)? I may replenish our supply of fuel oil, matches, candles, lamp oil and wicks. Some of you may know that I am on a mission to build wealth across generations in my family. I will prepare for the worst, but plan and take action for the best.

My grown kids are also savers and I have high hopes that the grandchildren will follow their example. Helping the parents teach my grandchildren to save is an ongoing project of mine. Of course, depending on what we buy, we may experience some buyers remorse. You may not be comfortable doing more risky things with your money.

When the Great Recession began in 2008/2009, my boss at the time (a Vice President of the company) and her spouse consulted their financial adviser to see what they should do. They asked him what would likely cause us to come out of recession. My grandchildren’s other set of grandparents are just one example.

I wanted a place for our family to gather – adult children and grandchildren along with us. Rental management companies may not distribute rental days evenly. Family members may not use it as much as anticipated. My sister-in-law and her husband had one that they used and rented out and indicated that it was doing well.
