You can always sell all, or part of your life insurance, and live happily ever after like them old people on TV did.

The best thing is when you are young-work towards being financially independent at 50 at the latest, so you can retire and enjoy life on your own terms and live like a king.
Being retired from a job doesnt mean you have to quit working.
Working for yourself is a hundred times more satisfying than working for the man.It is nice to be able to work but not have to work.

I work in an assisted living community. We are a for profit community. Basically what that term means we only except private pay or private insurance. No Medicare. No Medicare. We have all different types of people all types of religious/ nationalities/color and creed. The one common factor they have in common? Working hard and saving there money. Work until you physically can't. Doing something as you age is better then sitting. Later in life when you physically or mentally can not function is when your hard work will pay off. Oh I hear all the chatter, that will not happen to me. Unfortunately most won't even know as it happened. Retirement is a state of mind. The old standards of debt free, work hard and save your money are all good standards to this day. That is my 2cents from our residents. Our avrg age of our residents 83. People are living longer. Enjoy 😊

Seems like a recurring theme is that one should try to get debt free as soon as possible...it makes things easier in retirement.

Thank you Snowy-

Waggled, if you really believe this, what healthcare stocks are you having the most success with?

Try Vanguard Health sector fund,great return over the years.

I bought my home in 1984, had the mortgage paid off in 4 years. I have paid cash for every new vehicle we’ve bought since 1990. Never bought anything that I couldn’t pay for up front.
