Hello,
My husband has disabled vet pay, and I have disability pay. Total $4800. He still works where we are in a federal gov job in NC. NC is not overly senior-friendly for retirement places. At some point, he needs to stop working. The only debt we have is our truck payment. Can we afford to live there on such little money? My husband seems to think we can, I think, no. What if something significant happens in the house we buy and is costly? By the time we pay movers, closing costs, and other expenses, life-savings will be much lower. We are not rich by any means. We both have no family and need to find a home to settle in one place after years of military service.
What does a couple do when you have no family and are getting old? Do they have places or companies to help people who will need help in the future if that happens? Currently, we live on a military base as retirees, which is super cheap. $1025 for EVERYTHING! But NC does not have options when we get older...thatsbhowbwe oaid all our debt off
A lot of questions, I apologize in advance for so many.
Any advice and knowledge would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yvonne
