For my husband, he had HIS family to fall back on. He could go live rent free in Israel on the kibbutz. I would HATE it thete as the people are cliquey & there’s not much privacy there, I can’t stand his mother, and I don’t speak the language.
Hopefully nothing will happen to him. I can barely care for myself as it is. Thank goodness that I never had any kids! I always knew that would be the worst decision that I could ever make for myself l! I’m so glad that I didn’t succumb to pressure from my husband, my family & society.

He is 60. His mother can’t be that young. Do you really think she’ll be alive by the time he is too old to work? I
Are you 50? My mother completely changed her career path at 51. It’s never too late. Your SS certainly will increase if you start working. If you don’t even have 10 years of work in your entire life you have a power to change it
Well if you will have no where to live and nothing to eat, kibbutz would look like paradise. Id not be knocking it.
