On another blog was an interesting post, about wills, trusts...in short: shoe-leather. But there was something else i noticed,

and that took me back some 30 years - when us boomers were working.  At some training seminar,  the instructor asked us to raise our hand if we had any children - don't know if you can even ask that question these days.  Anyway, most of is were in our 30s and 40s; half, if that, raised their hands.  The boomer-blog post has, at this time, ten commentors and four of the individuals have no children, most of them, apparently are married; words like "husband" and "wife."  Didn't see that confusing "partner" - what does that mean anyway?  Playing house, and expecting people to equate that "arrangement" with the real deal?  Married, but intimidated by shack-up/weirdo personal-politics?  Gaag.

Anyway, will check back later to see if there's more comments.  And will check back to another very thought provoking boomer-blog post - that concerns the widening of the have's verses the have-not's; at this time, only a few posts.  Thought both blogs would have bu-ku comments by now.  They were both posted on Friday - guess with spring, people are doing yard work and such.  Yep.

Anyway, one of the no-kids commentors had retired from a nice job, and owns two houses - and i don't think she is alone in that nice situation...you know, a lifetime of diligence, of making smart decisions, that sort of thing (never mind, that particular form of common grace, bestowed by our Lord).  She said that home #2, in the sunny south, was made possible through an inheritance - sorta sounds like an in-law, the couple had inherited from the husband's aunt.  

The making plans article was focused on just that - making plans...instead of just letting family scramble with about no information.  Another one of the commentors mentioned that over one out of three boomers have made no arrangements; needful to say, that's likely because over 1/3 of boomers have less than 10k in savings.  And 10 thousand isn't much at all.
