I've planned well for retirement and think the SO and I will be fine, but its the big unknowns that really worry me.
My best friends mom got Alzheimer's at 52 and by 53 didn't know who any one was. The assisted living place she lived in was very expensive and at 53, she could have easily lived another 30+ years in there. I think (and he does too) that it was a miracle she passed away after only 3 more years in there. Hardest thing in the world to go see a woman who was like second mother and not have her know who you are. I can only imagine what it was like for his dad.
Like someone said before, we're all one event away from being wiped out. The best we can do is plan for the best and adapt as needed.
