It's so nice to be healthy and FIRE. We can travel easily, work out, drive...Just cannot be more grateful that we FIRE while healthy and active.
My mom lived to be 93. She lived in her house independently until small strokes started happening. She swore she would not go to a nursing home ever! It got to a point she had to go to nursing home and lasted less than 2 weeks there. She passed.
I keep thinking about this, hopefully won't happen for another 30 years. If my portfolio increases nicely, I plan to pay a nurse or CNA to either live with me or take care of me full time if needed, in my home. I figure I could cover living expenses and provide a decent salary. Then, I had the thought of Independent Living in a nice 2 bedroom apartment. Meals if I wanted or kitchen to cook. I priced out this situation and in Florida there are some very nice places inland for @ $70K a year.
Any thoughts on this topic?
