[QUOTE="db-2, post: 221785, member: 4743"] As far as I can see the only good solution to this problem for both of us is to die in our home. However that may or may not happen. But the nursing home that I am familiar with is struggling financially. Most people will not be able to afford any extend stay in a home so the government will need to take care of those in the home and our government can not afford this either as we go forward. Too many old people. That is the way it is and nursing home insurance is not going to cover the cost. And for many of us we try to protect what assets we may have from being spent on our care (care one gets is not worth spending the hard earn dollars on). Major problem and as for me and the wife we got old and are now think about this. First goal is to stay out of the nursing home as many do. Nothing wrong with going to the grave before the nursing home. Just that now I want to hold on to living. Scare and not enough faith for the hereafter. Second goal is to live for today. Went on our first Goldwing ride of 1300 miles and the wife said she will go again. Food plots are looking good and now to plant the brassicas soon. Taking part in the kids and grand kids life. Need to quit working at my job. Third goal of getting the will in place and maybe getting rid of some of the assets to the kids now. Fourth goal of looking back, then forward, making sense of all of this, finding a stronger faith, making decisions, understanding that we both had our chance at life, we got what we got, all positive, tomorrow is another day, we cannot afford any extended time in a nursing home even if we sold all our assets, cannot understand why we cannot hire someone to take care of us in our home for what we can afford, I feel someone living with us can make a decent living with our retirement monies, and tonight I need to put a fan and light in the ceiling to repair the broken one, grab a beer, [B]bless Trump a time or two and watch Gunsmoke.[/B] DB [/QUOTE]
