Are You Financially Bulletproof for Retirement?

Yeah, I mean, look, from there, I mean, it's a matter of hiring a team of professionals.

When it comes down to like that extended care, long-term care, I actually have an aunt.

I was actually riding my motorcycle, that's probably about three weeks ago, ended up going to False River.

And she, my aunt actually lives out there, but I like to just to go draw a ride on the weekends.

And i decided let me go down her particular street she lives right off the main highway and she just so happened she was walking outside so stopped over we talked she was showing me some updates that she's doing to the house unfortunately my uncle passed away last year and so it's it's she's like man this house is just a little too much From an upkeep standpoint, I'm trying to decide what I want to do.

I was looking at going into a home for retirees.

I was like, well, that could be an option.

Ideally, you want to test drive it.

She's like, what do you mean by that? I was like, look, they have some options where you can go in and probably rent a room for a month or two and get an idea of if that facility is right for you, if the crowd is right for you.

But then you have to go back and think about, okay, you're not going to be able to overlook the water, you know, the False River anymore.

That egret you watch every morning, it won't be there.

The neighbors that you've been talking to for the last 45 years, 50 years, are no longer there every day for you to talk to.

So you might be looking at the upkeep, but then it's like, maybe what if you could outsource the upkeep a little bit instead of moving out of your comfort zone? And so these are things that, you know, discussions that you need to have.

The other thing is looking at, you know, where you're located.

In her case, her son lives in Houston, which is my first cousin.

And so he comes in, but not that often, but he doesn't have grandchildren.

But I would venture to bet if he had grandchildren, she would probably be moving to Houston to be around him and his children, no doubt whatsoever.

But they do spend time together.

So ideally, everybody's situation is a little bit different.

We just have to look at your particular dynamic.

And so in the event when someone doesn't have children, it's mostly you can have sons, but you can't.

It's not that sons won't do anything.

What we hear a lot is it's easier when you have daughters to help you out versus your daughter-in-law to help you out or your son to help you out.

Sons do.

Like we have people that, you know, the clients that we help out, the husband's helping out, you know, the mother or the mother's living with them.
