[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My siblings and I support our aging mom. She and my dad tried to do "all the right things", including having jobs with pensions and a modest lifestyle. Unfortunately, the money they set aside has not been enough to keep up with the endless pit of their medical expenses. My dad has passed and this summer we are moving our mom to an county-supported memory care facility where they basically promise to keep her until she dies in exchange for all of her money (and some of ours up front). [/quote] This sucks. Parents who worked full time all their lives should be set for life, even if it is not fancy. I know women who hardly worked a day (ie: maybe worked part time here and there, and barely paid attention to the kids, tv on 24/7) in their life who are living large just because their husband was a Captain or whatever. Such BS. Women who paid into the relationship should be the ones living large, IMO. [/quote]
