Kitty,
I vote for a sugar daddy. Get a really rich one and post how to do it. I'm not a widow but it's something to think about. (DH is going to get cranky about this). Who says I don't plan financially?

DH and I have always lived simply, paid our mortgages off early, driven our cars until they fell apart and mostly only spend money on our critters and animal charity work which has been a good plan however...
since diagnosis and the increased likelihood that I will become disabled my level of anxiety about money has gone through the ceiling and so in the meantime I'm basically working myself to death to ensure that I have "enough" savings whatever that means.

Silly me, I always thought that COLA's were kinda automatic for Social Security and annuities...you know, if the cost of living goes up, your retirement check goes up also, to keep up. HAHAHAHA.

True, Kicker. Most of those "how to save" articles are so old school as far as we're concerned. Could we LIVE without satellite TV and the internet, giving Christmas gifts, having pets? Of course. But I'd prefer not to.

But pets, the Internet? Those two are a must have for me. No question about it. Everything else is negotiable but those two are not.

I hate reading articles that tell me how much I'd save if I give up Lattes, stop smoking, drinking and going out to eat and movies. I don't do any of that, so I don't see how I can save. Eating dinner, paying the mortgage and getting two kids through college and building a 1st floor bedroom since I can't go upstairs is eating all our money.
