Although I live 200+ miles away from my two grandkids, I try to get them for a week or so during the summer. There are many documented benefits to utilizing grandparents to watch grandkids. I’m one of them. On special occassions, now that I’m retired, I go to their house to watch them.

If you’re looking for a place to take the kids or grandkids, the playground is always an easy answer and free of charge in most cases. Head to different playgrounds and see which ones your kids/grandkids want to go to. Even if you’re not an outdoor enthusiast, exploring local playgrounds can be quite fun and suitable for all ages.

First, if I had managed to convert everything to a Roth, the grandkids would be swamped with hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Your heirs will have to take all of that out within 5 years. You do the math, but my calculator shows that is $400K a year. There are two problems with that in my mind.

My Grandkids have grown up visiting the lake condo and love it. We paid $25k up front for a boat slip that never sold, had to sue to get the money back and ended up getting $9000 more than we paid out for the slip and the legal fees. We have done a Money Camp each week during high season when they are off school.

I am over a thousand miles away from my mom, and I feel bad that she can’t see me and her grandkids more often. I’m essentially an only child now, and I do feel some pressure in this role. Though my mom is healthy now, I do worry about what might happen when she gets older.

One of our son’s and his wife peeled out after touring Yellowstone, while our other son, wife and grandkids went with us to a few other destinations prior to heading home.

Perhaps it is the influence of the grandkids. Mind you, it’s not like I have any more money to spend on presents than I’ve had in the past several years. But I’m trying to think of simple craft projects that would bring back the spirit of Christmas that I felt when I was a kid. Or maybe I just want to be a kid again.
