i had a friend that told me his father wanted to lessen the burden on those dealing with the aftermath, so he bought a site and a headstone. he even had the headstone engraved, allowing for two spaces after "john doe, 1910-19 ."
my friend told me this story around 2003, and his dad was still alive.

I have a bad habit of putting off unpleasant decisions. I have bigger fish to fry--or ignore--ahead of that one.

About 15 years ago, I thought my dad (born in 1939) was going to die (terrible health for a long time, had pneumonia and other immediate crisis health situations). So I bought a suit and some decent shoes for the funeral. Well, he's still alive. The shoes wore out a decade ago and moths have eaten the crap out of that suit.

I care. I'm cheap. If my sister only downplayed and lived in denial, I'd be hundreds ahead of the game. Though I usually think that if you don't waste money on one thing, you'll waste it on another by now.
i'd rather have my dad here compared to a new pair of shoes.
I'm working on my second million. I gave up working on the first one forty years ago.
