Yes! Absolutely Cashman, I do believe people should plan for their own futures. But, sometimes, circumstances get in the way. My best friend had a couple of these, unforeseen circumstances. My husband, Thank God, is and always has been a planner. So we are quite secure. But, that is exactly why when I look at her, I say, "There but for the grace of God.... go I."

I will, respectfully disagree on one point. Although I know there is a portion of people that are an exception, I don't believe anyone wants to become dependent or needy. Sadly, sometimes things just happen...

I'll leave you with a joke that sums it up (you've probably heard it.)

Do you know how to make God laugh??? Tell Him your plans for the future!

Thanks again.
