Gift Tax
Surprise
"Every year I pay
income tax," exclaimed Bill. "And when I pass away my

Videophones: A
simple way to see your elderly loved ones from afar

Savvy Senior,

to a new city about 500 miles from my elderly parents and I still

don't have a home computer for video chatting and they're terrible
with technology.
