“I speak of wealth in five categories. Wealth is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and financial. If we have all the money in the world and our health is failing, or our mind is slipping, or our physical mobility is compromised, it is so much less fun, right? Moreover, many of us really loathe the idea of being dependent upon someone, have to having someone be there, or God forbid be destined to travel around in a wheelchair so we have to depend upon someone else. And boy most women do not want to have to do that. So let’s plan ahead!” – Debra L. Morrison
