Crazy Money Day – Options to Nursing Homes

It’s Crazy Money Day!

Lee Wachstetter and her husband took 89 cruises during their 50-year marriage. Widowed at 77, she decided to cruise full-time and lived on a luxury cruise ship for more than a decade. Few can afford that lifestyle, but there are other options for the elderly.

Multigenerational living, common in other countries, is on the rise here. “Granny flats” are small units built in backyards or onto existing homes. Co-living is where older friends share common areas in a home. Home-sharing is when seniors take in a renter. Now, you may not “cruise” into retirement, but you can prepare for those years now. With planning, you can live comfortably as you serve the Lord.
