My mother, who is 93, lives simply but comfortably in an assisted-living home. Even though she has ample savings, she is always worried about the state of her finances. I tried to ease her mind by telling her, “I've calculated that, given your expenses, you have enough money for at least the next 16 years.” “That's fine,” Mom replied, “but how will I manage after that?”
