I remember thinking about how wonderful it would be to not have to worry about whether we had enough to pay for the propane gas to heat our home. Managing your finances gets a lot more complex and time consuming. That is one reason I hold my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp each summer with my grandchildren (our third generation).

Naturally, my spouse and I had a discussion on how much we wanted to fund for our two sons and their families. I found pleasure in thinking about giving our children and grandchildren the opportunity to see part of the world they might not otherwise see. He loves sticking to routine, staying home and accomplishing work activities.

We only own one home, no land, no rentals. 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? My differing perspectives on vacation rental finances. We used it as a home base to explore many activities and attractions within a days drive.

Even the New York Times acknowledges that: As boomers join the ranks of grandparents, many are financing vacations for their children and grandchildren. My WWII era uncle and his wife made trips annually with one of their 4 grandchildren (a different one each year). Be clear about finances. Plan to handle all ages.
