As the single, childless sibling I have already been through caring for my grandmother, my father (and the emotional & financial repercussions of their deaths), and am now trying to help my mother. The first two were nightmares; both being very independent it was extermly difficult to get their finances in order and then relinquish control. None of them had planned very well for retirment. My parents were disabled and unable to plan very well, my grandmother had a daughter that lived off of her. You can bet retirment funds are on my mind. Any information about aging parents, estate planning, or similar information is great! Funding my retirement, saving, funding a childs education, all that information is on everyones blogs. Do you know of any that write about taking care of parents? What really caught my eye in this article was the part about aging parents.

My early forays involving Owens Corning (think pink - think asbestos) and Enron taught me that. My advice is to pick index funds with small or no fees in the 401K - and start young. The money you put in is less than the effect you see on your paycheck (thank you tax-free 401K) The stock you pick can matter greatly.
