There were closer airports to fly out of, but I always liked that one because it was bigger, and I knew the layout. It took me just under two hours to get there, and I let the valet take my car. I gave him a larger tip than he was used to, and told him to take good care of my car. Money was never a concern to me. Grandpa Frances had put some money into a high yield trust for me when I was born, and every now and then I would go in and take some out. Twenty eight years of interest meant that I would be able to live a very comfortable life, and I knew that as long as I left something in there, the interest accrued would pay back more than what I took out. I was mindful of what I spent, even though I knew I didn't have to be. The most expensive things I had purchased with cash were my home and car, because I didn't want to have to deal with remembering when the payments were due. Not to mention that doing it that way meant that I finally had something that belonged to me, that no one could take away.
