First of all, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
I, for one, think this is a great idea for a thread.
I've tried to do this with friends, family, strangers. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... obviously we can't force anyone to change their habits, but we can always throw a bone and hope they get the message.
The truth is, we KNOW that living somewhat frugally and investing the rest has been the road to a (financially) worry free future. And all signs point to this being the trend going forward too. If we can convince some of those who are close to us, that is a big win already.
