That's very kind of you to suggest it won't change me. I hope you're right and expect you are.

Totally love the idea about buying time. Not entirely clear about what to buy access for, but I'll ponder that.

Agree re: confidentiality. Age is 40, and expect to work for another 5-20 years or more.

Working w/ an RIA so things should be good there, totally agree they must be fiduciary.

Agree long term planning; not exactly sure that giving kids money is a great idea. Perhaps some/all college and help w/ house down payment - but life is a struggle (jihad - I'm not Muslim but that's the analogy I use). Agree learning how to teach them is a good goal! The Silver Spoon book looks good for that!
