I'm also helping Mom manage her affairs. Mom's mom died 2 years ago just 3 months shy of her 101st birthday, and she was as sharp as a tack to the last. Mom is 82 and is beginning to have some memory problems; she'd put her bills "in a safe place," and then forget to pay them. So now Mom and I get together about 3-4 times a month, and I write, sign, and mail checks for her so that everything is paid up and paid on time. I'm thankful that I live close enough to do that, because my brother lives 2-1/2 hours away, and my sister lives halfway across the country.
But counting on your health--or your memory--to last forever is taking a HUGE gamble. It's better to enjoy each day as it comes, and not put off any large dreams and projects, thinking that you'll have plenty of time later...'cause you might not. Not wise to spend all you make today and not save, either; if I'd done that, I wouldn't still have my home. The idea of working long hours because you're healthy now is foolish, if it keeps you from doing some things you enjoy and think you'll be able to do it when you retire. Don't go overboard, but do a little now when you're young and are able...because tomorrow you might not be as able.

Elliott said while this
