    Anyone else here estranged from their family?

    No real relationship with my only brother in last 12 years. It rested from a business relationship we were in. Screaming at me (or really anyone in a business) is not appropriate behavior, but hotheads don’t change. So, I just done deal with him at all unless necessary related to elderly...

    That’s good to hear. We go see a lot of the 70s groups and most still do a great show. I know a guy whose mother in law grew up with Pat Benatar on Long Island. They all got invited to one of her shows a few years ago and he showed me the pics of them all with her and Neil Giraldo...

    Retirement living budget reasonableness

    Hello Seniors, we are a 62/60 couple living in FL currently. I know the answer to my question is very individualized, but I’m wondering about the living expense sets of other seniors as I approach retirement. I have paid fiduciary advisors but when I asked if my planned range seems adequate...
