Hi Tom, you may be beaten by me as to your age, but you are most certainly not knocked out!
I don't normally tell that much about my situation online but it was beginning to seem that people were becoming impatient with my caution so I felt it was needed.
I've only been here two and a half months so cut me some slack! Over the years I have found it useful to ask questions before acting. It prevents some, but not all, of those Oh, s$%& moments. I really don't have time for too many of those.
On a slightly different note, the experience of taking care of my mother, her estate and related issues, learning about investing, and a whole bunch of other things, like my 21 year old daughter, I've decided that once I get over the hump on the money stuff I'm going to write a brief manual to be used by people of any age. It will have a collection of my, and others', experiences and the solutions we found. Just brief stuff, like bullet lists and lists of resources. I've decided to title it, "Preparing for Senility - You Can't Start Too Soon."
Best,
Allen
