I'm sorry, I would like to spend money on your donothon but I've been saving up and scrounging together money ever since Rinmama said she had a price. I've just got word back from the bank, between my savings (both liquid and assets), and what I can borrow, I can offer your mother $600k all up. However that would mess up any investment opportunities, so I think another option is $200k upfront, and then another $50k a year. Of course, that's a more risky option considering it requires the market to perform. So please pass these offers along to your mother and tell me what she says. Thanks
