We planned our purchase in the heady days just prior to the recession of 2008/2009. Gather the family. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a place where our sons, their wives and our grandchildren could come together to play, visit and bond? Our family has gathered multiple times across the years to enjoy the condo and the area.

My grown kids are also savers and I have high hopes that the grandchildren will follow their example. To learn to live within your means is one of our primary family money values. Helping the parents teach my grandchildren to save is an ongoing project of mine. Because I am a saver, I have now become financially free.

I wanted a place for our family to gather – adult children and grandchildren along with us. Family members may not use it as much as anticipated. It is disappointing, but there isn’t much you can do to force family to enjoy a get together. Extended family members expect free days. Hint: not mine.

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.
