Dear Suze, This 2nd chance love in your 70+ has no rulebooks! Finding the right partner at any age takes your breath away, and at this late stage, it’s a frapping miracle. We watched friends die last year and left their affairs for their spouses to sort out. How fucking rude. It put a burr up my ass to have my own estate sale, before I die. I squabble with appraisers for the right price; that keeps my mind nimble far better than Sudoku. This is spring cleaning that’s fun. I highly recommend it!
Dear Senior, Older people dread parting with their “accumulated wealth” even if it’s the silver turkey platter they hate polishing once a year. It signals life is almost over so they drag dying out, rather than get excited about each healthy day remaining. If you’re not of the Mummy belief that you’ll need all your goodies in the afterlife, by all means, live it up now. It’s yours to do as you wish rather that write a will for someone else to slog through. -SQ
