"How the heck does someone get to retirement age and still have a mortgage? That one baffles me. Same with car payments
As an estate planning attorney I can answer that, I've seen it caused by:
ACCIDENTS,,,,,,,,ILLNESS,,,,,,,,,,CANCER,,,,,,,,,,HEART DISEASE,,,,,,,,,UNFORSEEN LIABILITY,,,,,,,,,,,CHILDREN OR ADULT CHILDREN NEEDED HELP,,,,,,,,,,,,TRAGEDY IN THE FAMILY
And that's even with people who were frugal, always paid cash, had plenty of money prior with NO car payments NO unpaid mortgages or credit card debt and had insurance even, but catastrophic incidents like the above can still wipe them out.
Of course, absent the above I agree 100% and think (and I do) at or before retirement have everything paid for, a pension and money in the bank, good insurance, possibly long term care insurance (if warranted),,,,,,,plenty of liability insurance,,,,,,,,,good solid well diversified investment portfolio LIKE THE TV COMMERCIAL SAYS "A LIFE WELL PLANNED"
Some have been blessed with the above HOWEVER unfortunately some have not. Good traditional Christian Conservative lifestyle with God, Family, and Country as priorities has worked for me, maybe not others, to each their own I say.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
