Things in the real estate market are going crazy around here!
Forgot to mention, we also had to cancel 7 other showings!

That's what is happening around here, houses go on the market, showings on Saturday & Sunday, with no offers accepted until 5 pm on Sunday. House usually goes under contract for 40-50K over ask. It's a damn bidding war.... I could probably sell mine right now for $75K over what I paid for it, but then I'd be in the middle of this silliness trying to find another place. No thanks...:icon14:

That is the next stop. It is set up just like his wifes was. Payable on death. They got these policies together and she passed 4 years ago. So there should be no worries.

We are waiting for the money to go to the funeral home and then they will hand up 2 checks for equal amounts of the remainder.

But in the mean time I have a truck 3 boats and a Harley to sell and cash out his retirement plus something else.

And I'm having my will drawn up in the next few weeks.

I don’t disagree with you as far as the unions fleecing Medicare unfairly on this issue.

BUT, there is an elderly/disabled home care crisis already starting and as the boomers get older, every year it’s getting worse.

Nursing homes are a institutionalized legal torture chamber, I and most of y’all probably agree that I’d rather die than end up in one.

The dignified answer that maintains a person’s maximum freedom and mobility in old age is home healthcare workers so you can live out your days in peace and dignity in your own house.

We desperately need investment in this country in this aspect of health care. I’m not saying this proposal by Biden is the perfect or even right answe but something needs to start happening on this issue.

Plus, it will create a lot of decent blue collar jobs.

Bottom line, we are ALL going to need this help at some point in the future, this is future proofing our own quality of life at the point in our lives where we will be the most vulnerable.

Plus the propensity for large scale fraud is just insane. When I was at the AGs office we busted a whole apt building (they had two residents who worked in the govt home healthcare aide office and were in on it) for getting paid for 'caring' for dead people.
