Giving investment advice to a friend, elderly or not, is one thing that drives me crazy. If I give incorrect advice, it may affect our relationship and the friend's health (how about those that recommended a Madoff investment plan?). I have a hard enough time getting my stuff straight. I would have no problem with directing the friend to Vanguard but after that they're on their own. I do not have the same problem with those that I am not friends with.
