This is an excellent point. My grandmother turned 93 this year. When my grandpa passed, he left her very comfortably through a life of hard work and investing. She almost refuses to spend money on things for herself. When my mother and I encourage her to do as she likes, she says that the money is for the kids. It makes me sad because she could be enjoying so many more things.

I agree with the others. It’s your money to do with as you please.
