[quote=Anonymous]My mom doesn't have a lot of money and she's on her own. I think she's going to need some kind of assisted living in the next three to five years. How do people pay for this? It's expensive and medicare doesn't cover it. Mom doesn't have a lot of money- just a small retirement, social security, and a townhouse that isn't worth much and might be hard to sell. I'm reading all of these threads and everyone is saying "just hire this kind of aid, or live here" and the costs are exorbitant. My DH and I are comfortable but we want to retire some day too and we need to send our teen to college in a few years. Are people who aren't rich just expected to hand over their life savings or quit their jobs to deal with these situations (okay, that was a little bit of a vent, but really?). What are the regular people who don't make a ton of money and don't come from money supposed to do? [/quote]
