DO Plan for Tomorrow

I watched a very sobering movie tonight.  I think the name was "Make Room For Tomorrow" made in  the 1930's.  An elderly 70 year old couple had their home foreclosed and had to go live with their children, but not together.  Because their children weren't financially able or have the room to care for them both, one went with a daughter - the other with a son.  They were never able to live together again after 50 years of marriage.   Most adult children are not geared financially or emotionally to "raise" their parents.  We know there are nursing homes for those who are old and sick, but what about those who are old and broke, but not sick.  It's important to think through this process and make financial changes as necessary.  A little extra planning now will give you a bright future so you can finally enjoy all of the things you dream of.
