[AT] Tractors and family

[charlie hill]

Joe, the one problem with your approach is that people have different 
personalities
and some don't mind one bit asking for something.  Meanwhile another person 
in the
group that really cherishes an item might be too shy or too emotional about 
it to ask.

I guess I'm not one to worry about keeping thing "equal" if someone has an 
interest in something I have, especially my kids, I'm happy to share it with 
them.  My mother in law is always worried about being fair/equal with her 
kids.  If she loans $100 to one to help out, she feels the need to give 
everyone $100 to make it fair.  I was given several tractors from her and my 
father in law, I really don't need anything else from them.

If you had one child/grandchild who showed an interest in your stuff, 
wouldn't you want them to just have it?

Enjoy, Joe

Money is deceiving Joe. 250K may me a lot of money to you . For many people 
it's NOT all that much. Perhaps the guy had 26 grandkids. How do you make 
that kind of "split" equal?
