[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are, but they aren't. Many of my friends are childless single women in their fifties. They like the ability to come and go as they please, but they are TERRIFIED of what happens as they get old and sick. Many don't have much left in the way of family. Who looks in on them? Money can only pay for so much, and what if you go gaga? I am divorced in my 40s, but am an only child and have one child. I worry about this as well. We have semi-seriously agreed that we will buy an old-lady house somewhere when we're all retired and live like the Golden Girls. [/quote] A lot of married people with kids end up in nursing homes, where they rarely, if ever receive visitors. There are no guarantees in life. Some of my co-workers are considering buying a motel for a Golden Girls set up. Might work better than a house for privacy, pets, parking, etc.[/quote]
