Subject: Re: wife and I are 83 no kids-no need for any money to
I am also 83. In my Continuing Care Retirement Community, in Maryland near Washington, DC. I know a couple of people whose spouses have Alzheimer's Disease, or some other kind of disease, and require 24/7 caregivers. At $25 or $30 an hour, this means $200K to $250K a year extra expenses, for an unknown number of years. How many years of this does the original poster want to budget for?
