How Will You Spend Your Billions?
If you’re like me, this question will never cross your mind. What billions … or better yet, what thousands?!
But if we were blessed (or cursed) with large amounts of money, what will we do? Give the money to our kids or to favorite charities? What about accountability? How would we make sure our hard-earned dough (or mad money) will be used wisely?

“Give enough [to your children] but not enough to do nothing,” “You’re not entitled to a free ride in life,” ”Money or life? I chose life.” “Life is what you make it .”
