Dear Mr. Berko: I am a 76-years-young woman and, over the last 15 years, have given nearly $600,000 to my children who needed this money at various times in their lives. Now I too need more money. My current income of $26,000 a year comes from three sources: an independent retirement account and an individual account, both at Dean Witter, that together total $275,000 and pay me $16,000 a year; and Social Security, which pays $10,000 annually. I have a condominium that’s easily worth $270,000 but has a $90,000 mortgage.
