I am trying to make myself feel better by getting rid of all my debt and saving, saving saving. At least I hope to be able to buy some help when I really need it later. Pretty pathetic.

If I had known back then what I know now I would have saved more and spent less.......but hindsight is always 20/20.

My husband was 18 months from being able to retire with full benefits from GM when he passed away. They could have gone ahead and retired him so that I would at least have had medical coverage for the rest of my life but they wouldn't do it. I didn't have MS back then so they dodged a huge bullet without really knowing it.

I know none of us knows what the future holds.....or if we'll even be here to experience it......but I feel like I need to make some sort of provisions for myself now......just don't know what!
