I am not making fun of anyone planning, or thinking about the future. I have tried in the past to plan major life decisions, and the more I think and worry, it seems the less control I have of the situation. While I am the kind of person who likes to be organized and informed, things just don't seem to work out that way.
So far, I have done the best I can with what I know, but there are too many variables in life to be completely prepared. People get sick and incapacitated, or die unexpectedly, or hurricanes or earthquakes happen and change lives. You can have 10 children and not be able to depend on any. Most families there is one child who has to do all the caregiving. You can have financial advisors who take all your money. A lot of assisted living, or continuing care facilities change ownership and change in quality.
So I have a basic plan for now. My papers are in order, my finances are more difficult to predict but somewhat stable. I can only hope and pray for the best and try to enjoy life in the moment.
Good luck! I hope you can find the answers you need.
