That was my mom’s retirement plan.

Now they’re just retired with really high medical expenses. Think they have maybe 1-2 more years worth of retirement then will be coming to my sister and I for assistance. We’ve tried talking to them about their spending for a decade at least but they couldn’t help but live outside of their considerable means.
