I'm quite the opposite. I'd like to play more golf, or get back into playing hockey, maybe even skiing. But I don't because I worry that that $100 should be saved to buy soup when I'm 85 and starving on the streets.
Without context as to your Father's health at the time of his unfortunate passing, or your ancestor's medical history, this seems like an over the top reaction?
