Personal Finance and Investing

We just don't seem to make it to 90 much.

Nor do most people.

I don't think of it as missing out on much, I loved my parents and enjoyed being with them. I know so many people have many worse stories of care giving. Being ill made my parents quieter and appreciative, not angry and mean. I have many wonderful memories from dragging my parents along on vacation with me, ha ha and I had never lived alone when I got divorced after 25 years of marriage. So after spending some vacations with my husband and then spending some years on vacation with female friends sailing, I spent the later ones with my parents at the beach, sort of bookending how it began with my parents taking me to the beach as a child. After my parents both passed I used the money from them to buy a small place at the beach that just recently got destroyed (Sandy). life can be a wonderful full circle.
