That you cannot predict the future is WHY you plan for it.
"What if something happens tomorrow and I/you/we can't work, where will we be in ten years?"
If you don't like the answer, do something about it.
Or gamble.
Up to you.

Well, like I said, we have planned for pretty much every eventuality and it's unlikely that there wouldn't be enough to cover any expenses.

That's why I said, we have enough.

believe it or not, newer long term care policies would actually help someone in your situation rob. obviously that doesn't help you now, i'm just saying that for those that are currently in good health, protection is available.

depends on the company and the condition obviously. i sell and service the product and i've never had any issues. YMMV.

I ticked enough.

I have more than enough stuff and the kids want for nothing, although I am trying to teach them that I am NOT made of money and they dont NEED everything that they want.

I make enough money, I just need a time machine, to visit 1970, to do my weekly shopping.

Until you have enough to pay for a life of medical care for yourself and your family, factoring in serious possible inflation, that is COMPLETELY separate from any market fluctuations and current income, you do NOT have enough.
That's one of the big benefits of socialised medicine. You don't really have to take that into account as much.

So was I. But then I got to thinking: given the large, and growing, technology gap that exists in most countries between the eonomic classes, it probably isn't so surprising that an internet community like this wouldn't have as many people who are unhappy with their income than you may find in a more random sampling of people.

Yeah, but Dana, then we'll have to WAIT longer. And socialized medicine doesn't work because communism-human-nature-USSR-laziness-more taxes-etc.
You know?

The people in this country who rely on the socialized medicine we already have don't seem too happy with it. It (their health care) doesn't seem to be something they don't have to worry too much about - well getting it anyway, paying for it isn't a worry I guess...

I firmly believe if I had unlimited funds, I would of been dead a long time ago. A couple of times a year I buy a lottery ticket, then I can be thankful when I loose. I don't live my life in fear that some one is going to break into my house, to steal all my really expensive stuff, or kidnap my children, to score big on the ransom.
