[quote=Anonymous]Be willing to move to live near your kids Downsize when it makes sense Maintain strong relationships so helping each other out isn't a burden. Ideal arrangement IMO, with family members that get along, is multi-generation living. Before he died, my mom and dad bought a house with my sister. Now mom lives with her, and occasionally has extended visits with me (a couple hours away). She may eventually need a nursing home but for now (she's 85) this works. And she has LTC insurance and good retirement savings so none of this is/will be a financial burden. I hope to keep strong relationships with my kids so that living together when I'm old is a good option. If not, moving to a continuing-care retirement community that is near at least one kid would be the next best.[/quote]
