With early health issues limiting income before retirement, we’ve got some real challenges. Yet we maintain life ins. and may/may not have inheritance. If so, we’ll breathe easier. But we know how to be satisfied with ‘enough’. Most define ‘enough’ far more gloriously than we do.
Medical costs can kill us. Our other bills are low. We don’t have new toys, devices, vehicles, or vacations. None. But we’re spending too large a percentage paying medical costs…meds or medical appointments. Paying off hospital and ER bills from this past year…and that will continue for 2 yrs. This year, will have surgery costs [hopefully covered…but some wiggle room for the insurer to duck out]. That also means time off P.T. work for that. I’ve got better coverage now. We’ll see how long the “insurance” will cover as they stated they would cover. Things change and not to our benefit. Hmph!
OldMtWoman ….when the majority of the folks start realizing and screaming….duck!
