Dan has always handled the family’s money. He organized the budgets, took care of the investments, and maybe even set up investment portfolios for the now-adult children. While he had a lot of work to do, he understood it all and wanted to save everyone else in the family the burden of financial organization.

Here’s the other side of the story
