    Probably taking my wife home to the Philipines to retire. Won’t have money for shit else, and I’ll miss my kid’s young adulthood. Probably what we’ll have to do.

      Can you move in with the kid? Give them an interest free loan to build you a Finished Room Over Garage or basement apartment, to be repaid upon selling the house.

        Kids are 10 and 12 ATM and we’re 54. Kinda screwed for a deal like that. Also, my Social Security check will take good care of us in the Philippines.
