Arghhh, I hate what old age does to the “old folks”. Sigh, and it will happen to all of us if we are lucky.
My thought this morning is very bleak. Old age, really old, not what I am, robs people of the facilities. Once vibrant intelligent people, capable of conducting their own affairs, are reduced by old age to mush. As you may or may not know, I have POA (power of attorney) on three old folks who are now in that state where they can’t comprehend their financial affairs and other arrangements. It’s sad. But, at least, I have the paperwork necessary to do it for them.
One should prepare for that day. Make your affairs as simple as possible and as automatic as possible. I am putting all my old folks on Paytrust. That service will receive their bills and present them to me via the web for disposition. I wish I had done that two years ago, when the first one started to falter.
Sigh, I’m not going to fall into that trap.
