Hello,
Well you have to decide what to do with your money.
You can either spend it and acquire some stuff that others may or may not enjoy, leave it to you family or friends, or leave it to a Church or Organization you have a Special place in your heart.
We have our personal choices.
For me it would be the Roman Catholic Church I attend, National Federation of the Blind, Shares Uunlimited in NFB or sun; and the school my daughters attended.
Personally I wouldn't spend it all because I wouldn't feel that I wanted to do this.
We all need to make our choices in this area.
The only other thing I would do is spend a week at a Catholic Retreat Center I love.
Colleen Roth
