You Got to Get on That Bad Motor Scooter and Ride

And when the kids were growing up, I always made sure that the things that I taught them to do didn't have a gender assignment to it.

My son is probably the best cook in the family.

He loved watching the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, and Paula Deen, pre-trouble, when she was on the Food Network.

And he is a fantastic cook.

My daughters can change tires.

they can change a flap on a toilet bowl lid or, you know, the tank or things like that.

So I never wanted them to be at the mercy of, well, I have to have them here because I don't know how to do that.

Well, learn how to do it.

Learn how to balance a checkbook.

Some of the things that kind of worry me today about people is that in sudden deaths or whatever, one spouse will go, I have no idea where the checkbook is.

That's exactly what my mom said.

I have no idea where the life insurance policies are, how to get his 401k or her 401k.

And that just kind of boggles my mind.

How can you not know that?

Similarly, in divorce, what we see is the people, oftentimes the wife coming into a divorce saying, you know, I want half of this wealth back.

to unveil the curtain and say that we have nothing.

There was no insurance.

There was no savings.

There were no investments.

The retirement's gone and not realizing that they didn't have anything either.

And they were not a part, you know, not say equal part, but a part of the conversation regarding finances.

And I learned that as well going, dealing with my father's death.

But I want to ask you this.

So your children though, because they learned, The independents, are they too independent? Do they know how to have a healthy relationship? Because that was something I struggled with.

Well, that's the $64,000 question because my middle daughter, who lives in Paris, France, she's 33 and not married.
