Are you "lucky"if you have a secure retirement?

Then start a thread about it. This has been railroaded.

DISAGREE....having LTC should be considered a major part of having a secure retirement.

Come on, I am waiting to get some feedback on Long Term Care here.

I asked that question several months ago, and opinions came back very mixed:

OK Bill, I'll bite. My wife and I have paid over 6 figures on an insurance policy that will cover us after 30 days of needing care. We sure could have blown that money on many things but we wanted to make sure we were not a burden on our kids or our neighbor. I don't consider us lucky to do that, I consider us good planners.

Who are you speaking for when you say, "we?" And I assume then that you'd like to do away with Medicare?

When I say "we" I mean the 50 sovereign countries, oh, sorry, "States" for you low information types, that have joined a union and signed on to a document limiting the federal governments power and enumerating what powers it has. HS

How's that going?

"...."States" for you low information types..."




Well, I happen to live in a "state." To the best of my knowledge, it has never been a "sovereign country."

But, evidently being a "low information type," perhaps I missed something....

While long term care is certainly an issue, I don't know if long term care insurance is a good idea or not.

What happens if that particular insurance companys goes belly-up? And even if it doesn't I have seen many many cases where people thought they had insurance coverage for some loss and the insurance company refused to pay.

I have a real problem with paying an insurance company today for coverage of a risk that could be a decade or two (or more) in the future.

Its is now! Yup you missed it. You don't live in a state, you live in a State. You probably think the "American people" elect the President. HS

Hoping to make it 49. HS

Murph, if I wasn't so busy I'd come out to Ohio and we'd take over.
