What's wrong with her? Doesn't she ever plan on retiring? Thinks Social Security will be enough for her? Maybe the oil thing is really good money and she thinks it'll never give out? Mommy & Daddy are filthy rich and she's an only child?<br /><br />I think reality might be quite the little wake-up call for her....Shevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360963999613712921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-86026739868190236842009-08-07T13:38:04.836-07:002009-08-07T13:38:04.836-07:00Just remember-if you don't take care of yourse...Just remember-if you don't take care of yourself-no one else will.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Grace.<br /><br />See YaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-24104172454463013162009-08-07T07:08:52.191-07:002009-08-07T07:08:52.191-07:00That story is baffling.

Did you notice this statement of hers?<br /><br />"They made me realize that I am in much better shape than I believed, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel, however distant."<br /><br />Maybe the feedback she received was very different than what they printed in the article. I don't know what she plans to live on post-retirement.<br /><br />Of course, you are right that they left out some important details. It could well be that she stands to inherit significant assets, or that the income from her family oil lease is quite large.Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.com
