One last entry

August 11th, 2008 at 12:45 pm

My own mother had full-blown stroke on June 1, and it's basically changed my life. Several times I've had ideas for entries about how caregiving can affect your finances, or my observations on Medicare. But I just haven't had time to write.

In fact, I haven't had the time to read the other blogs, and when I checked in to read new posts in the forums, there were hundreds more than I had time to check out.

DMom is actually doing pretty well, living in one of her two houses and trying to sell the other one. But she's not supposed to drive, so DH and I are doing a lot of running, and we're the ones trying to empty out the for-sale house. I don't see things calming down any time soon--when one project is done, there's another one waiting to be started.

So, it's been fun and fulfilling, but this blog has to go. Best of financial luck to everybody. Smile

    I've been there with a parent and it's all you can do to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Please do remember to take care of YOU as well!!! We'll miss you and come back in the future when you can!

    It was your blog (that I found by Googling "staying debt free") that brought me to the Saving Advice community. I will miss your posts, and wish you peace and harmony.
