5 things no one ever thinks they'll have to do.

1. Set up a hospital bed in your living room

2. Leave your ten year old to babysit his father so you can take a shower or run to the store for food.

3. Actually carry out the advance directive of your spouse, well before they're old.

4. Use the power of attorney you have to make medical decisions said spouse is unable to make for himself

5. Wonder how you are going to pay rent, buy food, keep the electricity on, and pay for a funeral out of one month's income of $1000.
