"We're in pretty good shape. We have some insurance and have been putting it away for years now. Unless you have the big bucks, it's never like you can have enough though, so I can see us setting a few more dollars aside."

Yes. I hope we don't need it, but our advisor put together a great plan for us a while back. It included us buying long term care insurance. We also set aside money in other safety nets just in case.

No. The best way to describe our plan today is no plan. We lost a ton in the market meltdown so I'm not retiring for another 10 years at least. I think we can make it back.

No. We have been pitched some ideas, but right now we don't feel like we have the outlay of cash to buy insurance.
