First off, congrats on hitting 30K HP, and on Christmas Day. Definitely worth celebrating and it is proof that consistency here on Hive pays off even when life throws curveballs.
We didn't do much outside this year at all. However, we did have a couple people in the neighborhood go full Griswold with their light displays. I never really had a fireplace that worked or could trust, so never was that nostalgic about them.
The part about getting your affairs in order, that takes guts to write publicly. Most people our age avoid that conversation like it is a contagious disease. But you are right, your sons need to know where the keys are, literally and figuratively. Your accounts, the metals, the will, all of it. I did something similar not long ago with a Will and POA. None of us are promised tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about the health struggles. Parkinson's plus ongoing abdominal issues is no small burden to carry. But your attitude about it, no catastrophizing, just matter of fact acknowledgment, that speaks to character. As you know I struggle with my own and have just in the last few months found a positive path to follow. Your focus on what actually matters (time with loved ones, spiritual grounding, contributing to this community) is the right priority stack. Everything else is just noise.
Looking forward to seeing you more active on Hive in 2026. I may not be around as much, but will be looking for you. Happy New Year. Here is to making 2026 count.
I have already started teaching my kids how the world really works using my own financial foot print as the model. And the reality is that banks and corporations are frankly out to make as much cash from us as legally possible. They also become familiar with the charities as I regularly contribute to my front line charities because I know my dollar goes much further there than to my own wasteful government. I've even made a contingency plan to contribute some silver bullion should a certain situation materializes.
Focusing on family and friends motivates me into firming their future financial security. I want them to be as financially resilient and knowledgeable. My departure will make those I love as beneficiaries but also targeted by scammers even from those that may even come from my extended family.
I got lots to do, and as you put it nicely, to make my 2026 count.
Happy New Years @coinjoe
