I'm so glad things worked out for you in the end.
My dad was in insurance and left mom comfortable ( he died in 1980) and her second husband was both well-off and a bit of a miser, so money was not an issue for her (he passed in '13). We raised 4 kids on a single salary and then were self employed for some scary times...I know the fears of unexpected health issues.

I posted this thread to get me out of my own head as much as anything and it has succeeded. Thank you for sharing.
