[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They both have talked about hoping to travel...Ok, 
 so maybe they have realistically maybe eight to ten/twelve years to do that if all goes well. Statistically, traveling after he's 85 is unlikely. And then the odds are she will become his caregiver at some point. So, I just don't see the romance here and I'm not a cynic. There are also adult children to "blend" (all daughters which have been very involved with their widowed parent...so also  likely to be complicated). And there's likely a lot of money involved (see Theresa's house in Shrewsbury which I'm sure is only one part of an extensive baby boomer portfolio!). I  hope she's smart enough to protect herself.

Do you have details about her home? [/quote]

Her house in Shrewsbury IS TINY and only woth 568k. What are you talking about. My house is worth 6 times that and I'm a nobody. [/quote]

Maybe she and her DH downsized once the kids were out of the house. He had kidney disease and may have been on disability for a while. He asked her to start working so that they wouldn't continue paying out of pocket for health insurance, which suggests he didn't have a corporate job. His obituary was beautiful, sounds like a very special man. No mention of his profession. Apparently Theresa got her love of gardening from him.[/quote]

Yes maybe  they downsized. But a 500k home doesn't make her rich....which was my point.[/quote]

Of course not, but at her age in terms of years working as well as financial savvy, she likely has a large portfolio that she accrued over decades no? And she may have had a large windfall from her husband's life insurance. [/quote]

You make a lot of assumptions.[/quote]

Actually I put qualifiers in such as, "likely"  has a portfolio and "may have had" as well as a question mark, so no I was not assuming anything actually. 
The facts are that she 70 year old professional woman, living in an affluent ny suburb, still working and in the finance business, who was also widowed. The odds are, she has resources. Definitely? No, how could we say? But likely? Yes.[/quote]
