Can I ask you a few questions please?

1.Do you fear death?
2.Do you know the steps to take if you run out of money?
3.Do you realize that in every state in America, the average livespan of women is longer than that of men?

In a way, yes, because it is the final frontier. But in another way, no. I do not see any way forward.
I am fortunate that running out of money is not an issue. My husband and I took steps while he was alive to make sure that would never happen.
Yes, I am aware of that. And at 88 I have outlived the statistics.

I was 50 when I was diagnosed with leukemia, so I came to accept the possibility of dying from it. There were times during my treatment when I honestly wished that I would die. Through all this my trust in God and his providence helped me. I am not afraid about what is on the other side of death, but the dying process makes me apprehensive, since I don’t know how that will look for me.

I have recovered from leukemia and am back to working full time until I qualify for Medicare. Both my husband and I always worked on putting money into our 401k, but we still don’t know how well we are prepared. There are so many things that could drain our savings in a heartbeat. My leukemia costs were astronomical! But I also trust that God will provide and take care of us. At this point I focus on working hard and living to the fullest.
