There's probably only about $700 on the whole thing. If that's all it takes to cash out when you check out, then well timed. Take it with you. It's the person paying $10,000 for the casket that's the fool.
The first person I remember hearing that from was a guy named Alfredo. I was 16. He was an older guy with a wife and 6 little kids. We were working at a gas station together. I was pulling down a whopping 87¢ an hour and he was flying high at $1.11. His favorite expression was, "You can't take it with you." I couldn't figure out what it was he had that he wasn't going to be taking with him. ........ $1.11 an hour with a wife and 6 kids doesn't go far. Even back then.

We need a vote. Who on this forum would be the most likely to be entombed in this money box when they pass?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Jamie Colby of that Strange Inheritance show. She may not be the first but def. 1 of my favorite show on Fox TV.
