I don't worry about much of anything. Shit is going to happen and I just deal with it when it does. It makes zero sense to worry about something that has not happened.

No. LTCI is not the affordable option it was for my Mother, who only was able to use it the last six months of her life.
It's become far more expensive and many policies total benefits generally are capped at around $100K which you can run through pretty quickly.
What seems bizarre to me is that you are among those humans so arrogant that they think Earth wouldn't have constantly changing climate conditions if we suddenly disappeared tomorrow.
And that a biologist who lived with gorillas was a climate expert.
That likely will be too late. I started in my early 50s and that was almost too late. It has become increasingly expensive and simply hard to attain. Add in any negative change to your health and it may just become impossible.
I wonder if Covid had an impact to this.

Not the happiest in my marriage even though my wife is desperately trying to make me happy.
I also dread going to work, even though I make really good money and I have very little of a commute.

I don't worry about anything. I hope my wife, kids and grandkids have successful and healthy lives, but I don't worry about it.
Sounds like he needs to do what the Aussies do and mount a cow catcher on the front of their vehicle. Years ago I traveled through Queensland and probably counted around 3 dozen Kangaroo carcasses along the road one day.
Talk to a financial planner. Much has changed, including rates that are increasing by 50% from 2 years ago. Usage has shot up, and rates have gone with it. Plus, several companies are just getting out of the business. Finally, don't try to plan for a number of years, plan for an amount of $ you want to shield.I wonder if Covid had an impact to this.

I literally just had the spider crawling into my shoe moment. I had just taken my shoes off on the back patio a few minutes before my wife brought up going for a walk. I stepped outside and slipped my shoes on and felt something under the arch of my foot. I thought it was a small pinecone or something similar. I pulled the shoe off and it was a large wolf spider.
When will you be putting your house up?
Funny. That little passing story on an off topic board will be with someone (me) for the rest of their lives and impact their behavior going forward...forever.
Somewhere in this thread I remember saying my strategy was to bang the shoes on the ground to knock any spiders out and you said something to the effect of that would just piss them off so they are extra angry when you put your foot in there. I think of that every time I knock my shoes on the ground before putting them on.
This time I didn't knock the shoes on the ground because I had just taken them off. The wolf spider was dark colored and was in the process of curling its legs up to die from me stepping on it so at first glance my mind was telling me it was a black widow. "This is it... this is how I go".
I had a shell shocked look on the walk and my wife kept asking what was wrong. She didn't seem to get the trauma from the spider/shoe experience.
The spider was roughly this size.
Yeah. I'm heading to a methadone clinic within an hour of that encounter.Somewhere in this thread I remember saying my strategy was to bang the shoes on the ground to knock any spiders out and you said something to the effect of that would just piss them off so they are extra angry when you put your foot in there.

Same shit they said 20 years ago....
I've never understood how throwing money at "climate change" is going to do a damn thing.
