View submission: How to be independent when I'm old?

I am probably more mindful about keeping my salary competitive than many of my married counterparts are. Every extra dollar I acquire through salary renegotiation is driven by my desire to have a comfortable, care-free retirement. I have a pension with my employer and it is a pretty decent one, but I am still throwing a lot into my investment savings. Because I want to be able to hire home nursing care if it should come to that or move into a fairly decent assisted living facility if it should come to that.

My sister and I have talked about living together when we become elderly and frail. That way we can share resources and keep each other company. I am down for that but I know a Plan B would be a smart thing to have.
