Well both sets of my grandparents lived into late 80’s and Late 90’s

Foolish me assumed my parents had a long life ahead of them. I lost both my parents by age 35. Most all of my cousins still have healthy parents in 70’s and up.

Sure genetics play a part in how long our life might be but so many things just happen my father leukemia, my mom heart arrhythmia, passed in her sleep.

Maybe I’ll have a long life ? I’m 52 now. I am not in great health due to numerous medical issues. If I can still do for myself most things I’ll be happy to live as long as I do , but if my health continues downward I truly hope I get lucky and pass away in my sleep like me mom.

As for finances ? I am on disability. My husband also , it’s impossible to save money scrapping by on it. There is a small policy if my husband passes before me. I fear for my future , how will I afford even the basics. So I understand your financial concerns fully. I have no answers
