re: WWTOTD: Living Near Family. Good or Overrated?

It's simply a matter of figuring out which relatives have the largest inheritance to leave, how much they favor your family and how soon they are likely to die. Once you've figured out those factors, simply move close to the most appealing option and spend as much "quality" time with them as possible. Be smart, bet on the right horse a and things should work out fine for you and your family.
