I am so sorry to hear that. Sometimes we just pass at the most unfortunate times. I truly do not want to sound materialistic. But I had done ok in life. I grew up always wearing hand-me-downs and during the holidays, my family would receive the very welcomed meal bags. In life, I learned to give and receive with dignity and respect. Personally, I have only purchased one new car in my life. I do however, love to help and assist friends with my life learned construction and mechanical skills. My last life project is to buy a fixer upper sub 40' "blue water boat".
In principle, I stopped buying 1.5k jackets because I rather donate the money to someone who truly needs it. After many visits to low income countries, I have realized that making money and not focusing on my self was something I need it to change. So I retired at 55 after 27 years of teaching. In a low budget I am living my dream. I'm also planing to sell 95% of all of my collections. Regarding my mainly low price jacket "piles", as Terry would say, I will just keep a few that have a very strong sentimental value.
The houses I own I will leave to my children and the vacations sports will be donated to people who I know will change their lives. My low budget approach is what I have chosen. My happiness will be fulfilled when the people I care benefit from my planned decisions. People that know me are happy for me because after all said is done, I lived the way I wanted.
