The Conversation No One Wants to Have (But You Need To) Lately I have been having a lot of conversations people who are caring for aging parents. The age ranges vary but the problems are all common. I try to address some of the topics in this week's newsletter. Hope you like it.
This is constantly on my mind as my mom is approaching 70. Although she is healthy, mobile, still independent I still feel like it’s a race against time to make sure she is going to be thriving living with me.
@Laura Gibbs I have absolutely no plans on putting my mom in any of those facilities. I've seen the neglect that goes on first hand when my grandfather had a short stay. I have two siblings so we'll have to take turns caring for our mother. My goal is to make sure I'm not a burden on my son and he doesn't send me to any one of those facilities either.
Have any of you created an annual budget? I am doing one this year. I started by writing out my saving and spending plans for the year and giving each a completion date.
