    My friend’s grandmother at age 90 is in a fancy retirement home and it costs her $90k a year. She had about 400k left and joked she was going to kill herself before she turned 95. She’s currently 94 and I’m really concerned.

      Fuck these retirement homes. They are literally set up to suck every last dime out of elderly folks retirement funds and then kick them out to some Medicaid group home. Sorry you’ve got this worry on your family’s shoulders.
