Question: We want to treat our adult children and grandchildren to a 10-day cruise to Greece, where I'm from. Our daughter said yes, but our son’s career is at a peak and he can't escape. I want to make things fair, but I can't reschedule. Should I send him a check?
Answer: It's not a given that you'll have more wiggle room in your budget in retirement than during your working years. But if you built a large nest egg and have modest expenses, you may have the ability to cover the cost of shared family experiences, including travel with your grown kids and grandchildren.
