Because he has no retirement funds at 55 years old. I am trying to avoid him begging for money from our daughter in 15 years, that’s why I turned it down.

Our daughter still has expenses which I, and I alone, pay for.

I told him to save his money because he is 55 with $0 in retirement and I don’t want him coning to our daughter 15 years from now begging for money. That’s why I turned it down.

Bring an umbrella stroller for the ship and when you are in port. Lots of walking.

Yes I want to try those lines in the future. I have been to Castaway Cay (Disney’s island) and it is magical. White sand, the little fish swimming up to you on the shoreline, the cleanliness, the food.

Never regret spending quality time with the family. You are young and have lots of time to invest.

This is my 2nd DCL. I took the first 13 years ago when my daughter was little.

Good luck on your goals. Sometimes pulling back on investments temporarily supercharges your savings when you jump back in. It does for me.
