STORIES

Wise, Witty, and Unforgettable:

Growing older comes with a trove of wisdom—and more than a few great stories. Take Harold, who retired only to spend his days monitoring stocks like a Wall Street analyst. Or Eleanor, who shocked her kids by leaving $10,000 to her cat, Whiskers, for “gourmet treats.” Meanwhile, George drives a modest old car despite being a millionaire, and Lisa learned the best money advice from her retired neighbor in just eight words: “Spend less than you earn; invest the rest.”

Not everyone slows down. Margaret bought a flashy sports car—then realized her knees weren’t up for the ride. Paul, supposedly retired, now juggles volunteer shifts and consulting gigs with a grin. Mr. Jenkins enjoys surprising waitstaff with massive tips, while Grandma Rose embraces reruns—of her favorite stories.

Tech-savvy Frank rigged his house with smart gadgets, proudly noting it was easier than fixing his old VCR. And Aunt Mildred, once thought to live modestly, left behind a small fortune with a note that said, “I pinched pennies so I could hand you dollars.”
