I know it's a story about giving, but I find it kid of sad that she didn't enjoy that money more. I can't believe she enjoyed not spending it so much that would have compared to traveling or building something?
Not that giving is bad, I'm sure it felt good, but man waiting until you are in your 90s to have that big effect seems like such an unnecessary delay.
I'm not trolling, just a gut reaction here. Anyone else feel that way?
Maybe it's because I'm an American consumer and consumerism is all I know.

I think she enjoyed that money tremendously. It's such a great feeling to give and to have the heart to give so generously, wow, what an amazing woman.
For me buying stuff is anxiety making and not fun. If the cost is > $100 there is sure to follow a good bout of buyers remorse and often a returned item.
On the other from personal experience and research I have heard of, buying "experiences" is more rewarding. Take trips, go bungie jumping, have a fancy meal, and doing it with friends the better. These things are less prone to buyer's remorse.
