[quote=Anonymous]It sounds nice to me. My concerns would be—what’s the health insurance situation? If through dh, what happens if he loses his job or becomes ill and can’t work? All kinds of crazy things can happen in the 12 years before you qualify for Medicare, including economic depression, chaos, etc. Would you be ok? My other hesitation is that both my in laws and parents got older quickly after retirement—they are extremely educated, vibrant, active, etc. and did a lot of volunteering and advocacy, but there was a noticeable dropoff in their, for want of a better word, “with-it-ness.” Working does keep cognitive function sharp, even though it’s often a PITA. Will you have similar age peers who are around to spend time with?[/quote]
