My son lives close by. I don't take that for granted.
It's his first apartment. He's decorating slowly, adding things when the budget allows. I introduced him to Facebook Marketplace. He was grateful.

Then he invited his parents over for NFL football and food.
Week one: he made chicken cutlet sandwiches. Week two: chili. Yesterday: hot honey rotisserie chicken and pickle sliders. (They were amazing!)

Every big question I've had lately has a money question hiding in it. Can I slow down? Can I try something new? Am I going to be okay? I've been reading HerMoney, where 100,000+ women talk about the money part out loud.
THE WILDCARD

Nine hundred years ago, a monk just wanted some peace and quiet. Today his cave has a gift shop and about forty cats.

That's the whole ask.
There's something in it for you too.

My answer:
My kids all home at the same time. They just made it happen.
