Absolutely. My father was fond of saying: "This isn't a dress
rehearsal."
His point being that one lives life or one does not. You can't take your
money with you, and I sure as hell have no great desire to pass it one to
my
kid and screw her up.

We initially thought of naming our boat "SOCI" with a sedilla on the C.
But we
thought it might be unncessarily provocative. Short for Spending Our
Children's Inheritance.


I've seen similar names, such as "Our Kids' Inheritance" and "Leaving
Nothing Behind for the Kids." The last one is a puzzlement--can you imagine
calling that in when asking for a slip?
