Depending on unreliable people can cause heartache in your life.  Depend on yourself, first. First, a footnote.  A reader writes, in response to an earlier posting, that you should "keep your house"" rather than downsize in retirement, as if you go into a nursing home, "Medicaid can't take that house away from you!"  Technically, that might be correct, as Medicaid never takes anyone's house away from them, they can only deny coverage based on your assets.   It is also important to note that they can't take the downsized house away from you, either.  And if your house is worth more...
