Well, I'm not committed to Vegas yet anyway. Only so much that may be planned at this point. <figure I'd better spend some of my dinero before I leave it to the kids> Good idea. It's too late for me.....everytime I turn around I'm dropping more money into my son's car. I drove that thing for 15 years....well, not much. it has less than 58K miles on it....and aside from routine maintenance only needed to put about $1500 into it. In the past three months he has tapped me for over $6,000 due to screwball stuff he has managed to get into. He has learned the benefit of negative cash flow. Before he had a car he worked as a caddy and stashed his dough. Now after school each day he heads out for all-nighters with his friends, cannot get up to work, and complains that his credit card is maxed and his checking account is running low. He has become the ideal American Debtor. I'd like to get him recognized as a country so perhaps he could get a bailout from the IMF. I don't want to tell you about the time he grabbed my '57 Thunderbird and took it to some pool hall one night. Still haven't repaired that damage. What happens to kids once they get a license? He was an honor roll student, worked hard at the golf course, helpful around the house.... Now he acts like me when I was his age. How did he figure out how to do that?
