[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was speaking to someone who is dealing with eldercare. Their parents put effort and forethought into planning for their eventual decline. I thought what they did was the most loving thing I had ever heard of and I'm very jealous. [/quote] Yep. This is one of the reasons why we put so much into our retirement rather than pay $320K per kid for an expensive college degree for our kids. We did not want to burden them with taking care of us financially or otherwise, or have expensive college loans. We went through some of this with my spouse's parents. They refused to move to a smaller home with no stairs BEFORE they needed to. When they finally did move, it was out of desperation and much harder to do. My parents planned it better and moved to a smaller place well before they needed to. They also did not want to burden us. Of course, we still help them, but they did not have any expectations that we would be their sole support.[/quote]
