[quote=Anonymous]I’ve always been happy to have “older” parents. Mine are in their 80s, in great health, travel internationally several times a year, and are very well prepared for funding their retirement. My parents had me at 40 after many years of trying, and were at a stage where they were both (1) very grateful to be parents, (2) mature and confident in their parenting, and (3) had runway to save enough that money was never a stressor that I can recall. On the other hand, my much younger mother in law (who had DH at 30) has been plagued by a string of hospitalizations, falls, and health issues, and can no longer live independently. She also has not planned for retirement or her significant healthcare needs in old age.[/quote]
