20. When my parents were both at that stage late in life, they let the roof of their

house go un-repaired for several years while living with buckets all over the place and mold everywhere. They were absolutely unwilling to get anyone to fix it because they were convinced that any contractor would rip them off. They had plenty of money, and we were more than willing to find a good contractor and oversee the project, but they were adamant.
