A lively discussion followed. A banker,who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer,suddenly lost his temper and cried out,“It's a lie. I bet you two millions. You wouldn't stick in a cell even for five years. ”
“If you mean it,”replied the young lawyer,“I bet I'll stay there longer;make it fifteen instead of five. ”
“Fifteen!Done!”cried the banker. “Gentleman. I bet you two millions. ”
“Agreed. Two millions for my freedom,”said the lawyer.
So this wild,ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement. During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly,“Come to your senses,young man,before it's too late. Two millions are nothing to me,but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because you'll never stick it out any longer. Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell. I pity you. ”
And now the banker,pacing from comer to comer,recalled all this and asked himself,“Why did I make this bet?What's the good?The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions. Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life?No,no!Rubbish!On my part,it was the caprice(心血来潮)of a well-fed millionaire;on the lawyer's part,it's the pure greed of gold. ”
The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because______.
A.he was younger than the banker
B.capital punishment was immoral
C.it was better than capital punishment
D.the banker would give him $200,000
"We are seeing a ton of this," says Ross Levin, an Edina, Minn., financial adviser. "Sometimes it's a great idea and sometimes it is not. You have to make sure you put on your own oxygen mask first."
Some 62 percent of visitors to Grandparents.com have helped their kids financially in the past year, with 70 percent of that group handing over cash to help their adult children and grandchildren with daily expenses, says the site's CEO, Jerry Shereshewsky. Another popular category is housing; in the last year many parents have coughed up down payments to help their kids get into homes while the 8,000 first-time home buyer's credit was in effect.
Then there's the debt-bailout situation. A survey recently conducted by Creditcards.com for Newsweek found that 42 percent of folks with adult children have helped them pay off car loans, credit cards, medical bills, and more.
None of this is surprising to Shereshewsky, who sees the trend as a natural result of changing families and the distribution of wealth. "This is where all the money is--and it's where the money is, despite the fact that we've had this meltdown." In general, the baby-boom generation is far wealthier than their children are, and has a lower unemployment rate than 20-somethings. He says that the vast majority of multi-generation households now involve adult children (and sometimes their children) moving in with aging parents. Baby-boom parents generally aspire to helping their kids and their grandchildren and don't want to wait until they are dead to do it.
"You should give while you're young enough to enjoy the fruits of what you're doing," says Shereshewsky, who is personally considering getting a reverse mortgage on his home when it comes time to help his 20-something kids with home purchases.
