[quote=Anonymous]Many of us are taking care of our elderly parents and facing issues. We need to learn from them and start taking steps from the time we turn 60 for our own old age. Here is what I have learned. 1. Minimize your belongings. Declutter. Sell. Donate. Gift. Downsize material belongings. Give the heirloom pieces to your children and other relatives now. My aim is to be fully organized before I am 62. 2. Reconfigure your home. Grab bars in toilets. Lifts. Convert easily accessible spaces into elderly bedrooms and bathrooms. 3. All legal papers in order. Finances in place. Will and Trust in place. Advanced directives in place (this should happen way early) 4. A plan discussed with your children. 5. Have cleaners, landscapers, handyman, barbers, nurse etc - on call. 6. Make sure that you are exercising, eating well, current with your medical checkups and have a vibrant social network. [/quote]
