That is quite cynical. What if your relatives are older AND richer than you?
The richer part would be a new experience. And I'm past the older part.

I knew an ENT surgeon who once said...."Money doesn't buy you happiness......but does it hurt?" [:D]
He also offered me this sage advice...."You never want your relatives to be happy when you die" [:D]
When my stepmother's oldest sister died, quite a few people attended the wake and the memorial service. No one cried, especially the children! I think that most people went just to make sure that she really was dead. [8D] She was. [:D]

I once sent him a 4 year old patient with a strange nasopharyngeal mass that proved to be a sarcoma (cancer) [:(][:(]
So much for Woody Allen.
