Spending regularly
Hello all,
My husband was diagnosed two years ago with cognitive impairment, most likely Alzheimers.
We have had some rough periods of time involving obsessions which have passed mostly.
We moved to a very small house to help us afford to live as we don't have much at all financially. I have made budgets for us but DH refuses to look at them. I am 72 and he is 80 years old and I have various jobs to keep us going. DH will go out and come back with all sorts of things we don't need. Our tiny house is filled up with yard sale purchases (by him). We got an insulated shed for my art studio but that is full of tables we don't need so I teach two classes from the kitchen counter via Zoom.
I do have a call in to Spectrum Generations to talk about how to handle the money.
My DH also wants to build cabins on our property/ a pole barn and various other projects we cannot afford. He calls people to come and give quotes. He often forgets and so I do just go with the flow (sometimes!) and hope for the best.
He is happy pottering around in the yard though it looks awful - things moved from here to there and then back again, half done projects. Now the house is pretty terrible also - I try to breathe deep and think we have a roof over our heads.
Does anyone have experience of something like this situation?
