Default Exactly what my mom used to say

Exactly what my mom used to say. She passed peacefully, in bed, at age 91. She always wondered if she'd live as long as her mother in law, my Italian grandmother, who also died in her own bed, at age 95. This is why I do not have fear.

However, neither do we want to go through any kind of catastrophic property damage**.....or the worry that would go along with that, such as being stuck with an unsaleable home.........although it doesn't really seem to be the case in T.V. They do resell and the turnover is quick.

** We are comfortable but not multi multi millionaires, so would not want to drain the bank account to repair horrific property damage.

Having been through tons of remodeling during our entire marriage, we know what it's like to have builders and contractors and all types of workmen around day and night........just don't want to go through that again, at our age now.

I'll say again, my concerns are just that, concerns..........not FEAR.
Yes, no one wants to end up like the guy in Sefner (?) Tampa area, Fl.
That's for sure........but do we dwell on it.......no.
