Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the explanation he gave for why you can't get coverage for 125% of your salary!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Right? What's to stop you from running out and getting yourself a debilitating injury now, huh? Nothing, that's what.

Don't buy a woodchipper.

I totally just heard the Law & Order dun dun in my head.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just got geriatric home or facility insurance that will turn into life insurance if I do not need it. We are at that age.

Exactly!

Yeah, true. I was like "But I won't have to pay rent if I get disabled!....Unless in a couple of years my mom actually needs the money. Huh."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I should probably look into something like that, but I think I'll keep being irresponsible for a few more months. Because really being fiscally responsible is going to suck, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, I'm way behind in retirement savings, which means I should be putting away way more than I am currently doing. I am going to up it some, but not to the point of pain yet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We have both had long-term care insurance for quite a while. I call it our retirement insurance.

I know a while back my mom's financial advisor told her not to get long-term care insurance because she had the expectation of an inheritance that she could earmark for that. But I don't know the details or if that was actually good advice.

Ugh, I should probably look into that. And long term care maybe--I'm guessing it's cheaper if you're younger when you get it?
