In 3 words, "The American Dream"Legacy of financial freedom and independence for my children.I grew up with extremely dedicated 1st generation immigrant parents who sacrificed a tremendous amount of their life for their children and no amount of money can replace their love and hard work for my sister and I.However, as they face retirement - hard work was not enough to keep them from depending on government social security and their kids.
