Now my aunt has moved over to the assisted live side, due to her health. 

The sewer main is 80 years old. 4 out of 6 units tested positive for meth (0.88 ug/100cm^3, or below the maximum allowed by the health department).

I recently had a health issue that caused me to stop paying my unsecured credit cards.

Increase the presence of concerned citizens.Report any code violations (such as health and safety, vehicle plate registration, parking violations, property upkeep, etc.) regarding the activity and property to the appropriate authorities in city, county, and state government.You and your neighbors can improve your properties to make the neighborhood safer and less inviting to criminals.

This is a potential health hazard.

My wife is a Physical Therapy Dr. as well as a health/wellness coach and she takes an approach to give the body the proper tools to self heal and people here are more interested in treating symptoms with pills. 

I had a daughter get married and some health/hospital issues in the last month - but back on track now!

I find that level of suggested diversification very interesting and agree that if you could achieve that kind of portfolio, you will be sitting very pretty from a financial health perspective. 

Take 6 week severance and then file unemployment or he could stay on but would lose insurance and health benefits, they would move him to part time hours, and he would have to take a reduced pay.

One of the benefits (or actually, consequences) of being a bit older (46) is I don't have a long horizon left to build up a retirement portfolio, so I'm inclined to start pretty hard (but with, I believe, manageable risk levels) plus I am in decent financial health overall from regular savings and traditional investing from my day job earnings over a long time period.
