[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have some money saved. They are only in their 50's, so ideally we'll have a while before it becomes a serious need (although there is a history of alzheimers in my dad's side). It's going to be rough though--they live in a resort town in California, my sister's in Seattle, and I'm in DC. Not exactly easy to pop over to check in, nor will they be thrilled with such a huge move. Definitely a conversation to have over the next few years. At least they finally made a will.[/quote] Wow, they are young. Mine are in their eighties and we are in (or nearly for me) our 50s. [/quote] OP here. Depends on the attitude of the parents. Some parents "get old" at 50. Some parents find 50 is the beginning of life. Or a new beginning. That attitude really changes the timeline we have to prepare for. at 32, my 55 year old mother is going to be in an exponentially degraded place at 60. [/quote]
