So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Hopefully, it will progress very slowly.

Congratulations! You have done well. OMY will go by very quickly.

Great news. Insurance companies should be held to account for their delay tactics. So frustrating for families and patients who have paid for insurance and then must fight to receive benefits!

We used Quasar Expeditions for our one week cruise in the Galapagos. It was a fantastic trip. There were about 26 guests on board.

It is so frustrating that an insurance company can get away with these games! Especially, when the family is already having to deal with an ill loved one. It is down right negligence and borderline fraud!

So sorry to hear of your wife’s healthcare situation. Sending healing thoughts your way. Stay strong.

Thank you Marc. I made an appointment with an advisor. I just hope they don’t try and make a big push for annuities. That is what the last advisor did. I explained that DH has a pension and SS, and I will have SS also when I decide to start benefits.

Good luck!

I’m at 22 countries as per definition in link.

Wow, your travel agent sounds great! Happy travels!

We are in this same situation and I had the same exact thought last night when I read the article. We do not feel wealthy. We drive 9 and 6 year old vehicles. We do take 1 European vacation and 1-2 small long weekend trips a year. But, not 1st class air, more like Comfort +. Hotels are in the...

Have a monthly massage. I think it helps keep your body healthy and it’s also enjoyable. Hire out services, housekeeper, lawn men , etc. Eat out more frequently at better quality restaurants, tip well (if merited) . Gives you/spouse more free time. Vacation, travel 1st class. So much to see...
