I'm a boomer and a Navy sub Mom so boomer means something different to me too. Kids are millennials and 5 grands are all gen alphas.

I would not sell if it just helped my tax situation. Where you live, with a spouse or not is worth more than $500k. We used it when we relocated from San Diego to Murrells Inlet before the covid bullshit. I also kept track of all the expenses because it reduces the capital gain too.

I love dry red wines. A Costco Wine buyer said to purchase them from Italy and not CA, as Italy has less sun so the wine is dryer. I avoid CA wines as DH & I left the state in 2018! ;>)

My Medicare Supplement plan is with Mutual of Omaha and the cost is going to $163.00 per month. I love it! Total knee replacement and my cost was $0. I do pay a medicare deductible of $240. for this year.

We buried our last 2 dogs at 13 & 15. It was so lonely without at least one dog. Nextdoor had a chocolate labradoodle that could no longer be cared for by its owner and Coco Chanel is now sitting beside us on the couch. She improves my life immensely: companionship and exercise. Been a dog...

In the 70's I was in law school and waitressing in the summer. I was working in a great Italian restaurant and the cook was the owner who yelled and treated us poorly. One very busy time, the italian was yelling and I put my tickets on the counter where we picked up the food and I said "I...

In CA you can go to court NOW to establish a Special Needs Trust. It is done all the time. There are many good attorneys in San Diego that specialize in this exact situation and can advise you about setting this up correctly. Please do this as quickly as possible before DM passes.

I play MahJongg two times a week for a few hours with friends. We are now playing Siamese or double MJ. There is memorization, strategy and socialization. Plus laughter!!
