The night my son asked, “Mom, when are you finally moving out of my house?” in the tired voice of a man dealing with a burden. I stayed quiet, listened to my daughter-in-law calculating how much I was “costing this household,” and no one in that house knew I had just won $89 million. The next morning I bought the house they had always been eyeing with one move that made their late kindness useless.
