[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know what their Plan B is when the kids leave for college or if a divorce happens.[/quote]

Plan B:  For college - enjoy the freedom of not being a cook, housekeeper, laundry, and personal driver.  If divorce happens, my spouse knows I'll go after everything but I cannot imagine divorce happening.  The bigger concern is death and we have a paid-off house, college fund, savings and I'd get social security.  And, life insurance.  I could pick up a basic job if I wanted/needed to and be just fine.  Believe it or not, some plan for these things.  Death worries me more.  I hope to die first.[/quote]

Sounds like my best friend, except it took him 10 years to die. It drained their finances. He was 40 when he got sick. Social security is decades away and not that much when someone only working until 40.[/quote]

We have good health insurance so thankfully it would only be a drain for a nursing home and I'd never do that to my spouse if I could avoid it.  Same with my spouse.  We are older so it's not decades away and as a spouse, with kids, you get survivor's benefits.   And, I'd get my husband's small pension on top of social security, plus life insurance.  And, that's why we made sure to live within our means, save and do things like pay off the house.[/quote]

Again you sound just like my best friend. People with early onset of dementia are violent. You wouldn’t do that to your kids. So yea, you’d put him in a home. Like she was forced to do.

Agains, she had all that. It’s not pretty though how quickly tfat all goes.[/quote]
