CINCINNATI – Every so often, Paris Johnson directs a pointed question to his mother, Monica.

By now, he can almost recite her exact answer. The first 10 percent would go to her favorite charities. Her church would be the beneficiary of some of the money, and she’d make sure to pay off her bills. Much of the rest would go into a savings account.
Johnson also knows what the seven-figure sum wouldn’t go to. Monica tells him often that she’d live in the same spot and drive the same car.
