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. Both are now old enough to open a bank savings account.

We planned our purchase in the heady days just prior to the recession of 2008/2009. 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? We have done a Money Camp each week during high season when they are off school. Gather the family.

Are we on our way to an actual depression (as opposed to the Great Recession)? Dollar cost average that saved up cash into emerging companies that I think will flourish in the next fifty years. Write down my life experiences on economic downturns for the future benefit of my grandchildren. How do you think it will affect you?

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. Yet we plunked down the huge $25,000 sale price to get a slip in it – not even requiring that the money be put into escrow. My sister-in-law and her husband had one that they used and rented out and indicated that it was doing well.
