<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 5404732, member: 100459"]My son has two daughters in a prestigious university in Utah. If I count it correctly, he will get $600 for himself, $600 for his wife, $1,200 that are at home and $600 for one of his university daughters (The other one just got married.). He should get $2,400, which won't touch the cost of the university's tuition, let alone, the cost to feed his immediate family. Many years ago, my wife (number 1 wife), found a house she wanted to buy. I was making $140 a week and my wife was making $90 a week. I was going to use my G.I. Bill to purchase it, but I still would have to come up with $500, which I did not have. My, then, wife suggested that I ask my father if he would loan me the $500. I love my father and am grateful for his wisdom. He was a Sargent in the Army, and looking back, I think we were taking home more than he did. My father knew where the pressure was coming from, and he shared his wisdom that he had learned over the 30 years of service in the Army. My father told me, son, if you can't afford the $500, you can't afford the house. That was in 1973. Over the years, he has been a great help to me, not financial, but in wisdom. Sadly, my father was killed when a truck driver fell asleep at the when and stole the wisdom that I solely miss. I, then, turned to my mother. My parents were married for 52 years. In his infinite wisdom he gained from Solomon, left his coin collection to my brother and I. There were many beautiful coins in his collection, but the one I cherish the most is a 1917 One Penny coin from Great Britain. I miss you Dad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
