Yes, we could get a lone if needed. But we live within our means, so unless something major comes down the pike, I don't see this happening.

Our biggest concern is my wife has a disease that effects her mobility, and it will progressively get worse as she gets older. If she had to go into a nursing home all our plans would be thrown out the window. We have talked about the possibility we may have to divorce to save the farm. Look back period is up to 7 years for Medicaid. You can protect your house, but other properties can be taken to pay for your care.

Im sorry to hear about your wife, hopefully you won't have to do that for her.

I wouldn't say though that taking out a loan to make an investment is not living in your means however, especially in a period of time that paying those loans back is less expensive. I would just point out that you having land as part of your overall wealth and the increases in property values gives you a lot more benefit and flexibility than people who don't have that.

I do understand about savings if you are just in bonds or fixed assets being a pain in the ass with the inflation though and would recommend discussing things with someone who can help you keep ahead of the inflation rates while the interest rates are still super low.

I sure am glad I don't carry the burden of pretending Bidan is good for this country. He and his ilk are is being used to expose the Lib ideas and their consequences.

You already see 10% for the Big Guy showing up with inflation. Wait until gas gets to be +$4 a gallon.
