I really do think my mother's intentions were good, that she really wanted to know, just out of concern that I'm okay. I really don't put out the image of being all that successful. I live in house with only one bathroom. I still have roommates...which can be a pain sometimes with only one bathroom! When my 10 year old Dodge got totaled last year, I replaced it with a 10 year old Buick.
But, you know the old saying...money changes people. I probably don't have anything to worry about, but you never know. And not just the money, but, if I were to bail on the workforce at 46, like my current plan, I can see her trying to find things for me to do with all of that "free time" I suddenly have. She's been bugging me for years to go down with her and my stepdad to their place in Florida. But my idea of fun is NOT spending an entire week 1000 miles from home with two people who still try to treat a 40 year old like a kid!
