Counting in inflation perhaps they would need it. Since we too have never lived outside our budget we are now living within that and have quite enough money. I am a bit worried if we should need long term care. That is the one insurance we never got. Other than that we should never be a burden to our children and be able to take are of ourselves. <br /> Thank you for telling me{ again! } the name of your favorite cookbook. That one was not there. I did get three other old old cookbooks and have made several things from them since. Many more yummy sounding things still to make! <br /> I was on blog where a women had a Pinterest board about the meals put together. Creamer chronicles.blogspot.com but it was an old post. If I find the actual post on it I will let you know. They had tons of ideas. I hope to find it myself.<br /> I let myself get over tired many times. I get cranky and almost in tears. Why do we feel we must do it all? Everyone has limits. We need to be good to ourselves and take time to rest more. I keep seeing something else I want to work on when what I really need is to rest for 10 minutes before tackling it.

My Mother in law never learned that and that is the reason my FIL had to work so late in life. She was a terrible impulse shopper and thought nothing of buying something that was $500 just because it caught her fancy. <br /><br />Maybe the young ones starting out can come up with a million dollars because they can start so young, but trust me, almost no one can save that much, my husband and I included. We will be living frugally after retirement, too.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
