I do worry about who will take care of us when we are older
Hopefully having your DINK lifestyle you will be able to afford to have the best sort of care. I know there is a thriving retirement scene in Thailand and I don't know what it costs, but it was MUCH nicer than the almost jail-like environment that I have seen in these sorts of places back in the USA.
Interesting! I just might end up becoming an expat too one day!
I just remember the home that my own grandfather was in and it was just super depressing. I'd like to think that I have been wise enough with my financial choices that I can move into something a lot better than that. They charged a LOT of money at this place he was in as well. I think a lot of that is a racket in the states and probably elsewhere as well.
Why not move into a luxury villa somewhere that is actually nice for the same price?
Yeah, they totally screw you over. I know a lot of those places you have to basically sign over all your finances to them. It is a total racket. I agree, it would be much better to just have your own little bungalow somewhere and higher a private nurse rather than being in a home.
