[quote=Anonymous]Who knows how long you will live and if you have enough money for assisted living, dentists and doctors and prices are going way. If you are retired you live on a fixed income, even if its $10,000, its a bit nerve wracking, even if you have a few millions. Its common sense to be anxious about costs, especially for those of us who are older.

I'm a Gen X my husband is a boomer. We view money differently, and if you grew up or were raised in poverty that never leaves you. In our case we also want to leave our DC with a good inheritance as he has special needs.

I grew in Arlington and in the 60's it was easy to have one income and buy a house. That is NOT the case now, changes in politics and the economy stress us out.

I worked in college and could pay rent, gas bill, insurance, car note and go to school, and go out on the weekend all with my minimum wage job.  That's not what younger people can afford doing today, that causes me to be stressed out.

My friends have started needing implants and they cost $3000. My friends bridge and other dental work is $11,000. Experiences and health care costs compound and cause older people to stress out.

Give the guy a break
