Dear Maddy talks about money
Read Time:1 Minute, 46 Second
I am just back from a cruise in the Caribbean, I told my husband I had four tickets for the NCAA Final Four in Houston, Texas and he and three of his idiot friends could have them if he paid for a vacation for me and our six granddaughters. We had a wonderful time, must see if I really can get some tickets for that silly basketball tournament. My husband cried like a baby when I told him what the cruise cost, so this week I want to talk about money.
Dear Maddy – My wife is always asking me for money, she’s a working women and I pay all the bills, but she always runs out before payday. How can I handle this delicate situation.

Dear Maddy says – I sympathize Ben, may I call you Ben. My youngest great-grandson is always holding his hand out asking for cash. When he says “Great-grandmama may I have $20 please?” I play a confusing but effective game. I say: “$20 . . .$10 . . . what do you want $5 for?”

Dear Maddy – I have a plan for my retirement and I would like your opinion. I am 30 years-old and I plan on working till I am 65. I max out my 401K and I am buying supplemental retirement, I dabble in gold and silver and I manage to save $200 month in cash. I don’t take vacations because I think there will be plenty of time later on. Am I on the right track?

Dear Maddy – I have just inherited $2 million from my grandmother. Now I can have anything I want and go anywhere for a vacation without having to worry about money. But I don’t feel anything. What’s wrong with me?

Maddy is indeed a wise person. Money cannot buy you love either, but it can get you a lot of people to fake it.
Dear Maddy this was brilliant:
