So then, Mr. Avarice, I warn you if gold is your God it's cold comfort you will get in your sunset days.
Build up loving ties, appreciation and worth-while riches of good deeds, and in your evening of life you will be welcome in the midst of the group.
If your life was sold for gold your evening of life will be short and miserable; legatees will grudge you your every breath; they will endure you simply because they are checking off the days from Time's calendar until the day of your passing, and the dollars you sold your soul and heart and life for will be lavishly spent by cold-blooded heirs who cared nothing for you.
Leave a legacy of love, example and character, and if with these there are a few dollars, they simply prove your frugality, economy and independence.
A few dollars left to heirs will help. Many dollars will hurt. Dollars in old age will give you pleasure by helping in tight corners, and helping your loved ones over the bumps in the road.
Use the dollars to help those you love to help themselves, and your old age will be a busy, happy one and you won't be in the way.
To prepare for that happy period of your life the foundation must be built in the active today period.
Carry smiles in your old age; they will keep the heart young, the digestion good, and life will be worth while.
