This works extra well if you supplement it with:
My grampa's friend did that and now literally has more many than he knows what to do with, as he lives in a trailer and presumably doesn't care much for charities. I guess he's gonna leave all his money to his kids.
Anyway, thanks for the advice, but I wasn't actually looking for advice. Sorry, it was a mistake to write this post in the first person. I actually have things decently well figured out, but I wanted to make the post a little engaging, which was stupid of me. The knowledge is still useful though, in case things blow up, so thanks. :)
This is evidence that your friend's grandpa screwed up. Indeed, after 20 years on a decent salary and retirement at half pay thereafter, I would imagine that income has long since reached the point of diminishing marginal returns, specially for someone so unconcerned with status as to live on a trailer and with no intention of giving to charity. To spend the next 20 years continuing to earn even more paychecks and a second retirement pension rather than living an eudamonic life with the little youth one has left seems like a horrible case of work for work’s sake.
Maybe he did really care a lot about leaving lots of money to his heirs.
