Meh she's 85 and she's the one that was married to guy. As long as she has a roof over her head, let it blow. The kids are going to have to look elsewhere for their windfall.
I'm curious to know what an 85 year old would splurge on.
My mom is 88. For most of her life, she watched her pennies carefully. Now she lives in a paid-off house, has no property tax to worry about because my late dad got the disabled vet tax break and she gets it as his widow, and she goes out to lunch and dinner all the time, something she couldn't do for many years. She treats her grandchildren and great-grands and sometimes her friends. She doesn't have $400K, of course, but just because you make it to your 80s doesn't mean you sit in a corner and dry up and have no life, either.
My Mother In Law never had any money for her entire 85 years on earth. Always struggling and broke.
Well her husband died and now she just got $400,000 in Life Insurance proceeds sitting in a bank account burning a hole in her pocket. It's going to be gone in months I suspect. Should her kids try to get her to stop spending the money, or let the old gal spend spend spend?
