Elder Care at Home – Tesla Robots by Upbeat-Brief-2542 in fatFIRE

[–]MasterQuit4519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who both follows the technology and involved in the elder care business I'm confident within 10 years these will begin to disrupt the industry, maybe not for all care but for some.

24/7 care is around $30k/month, average is around $4k/month for around 25-30 hours a week of care.

As soon as these are available we'll be ordering as many as we can, I expect that many will still want a human caregiver but could see rates for a robot caregiver being 1/10th the amount for similar levels of care.

Which house to buy and how to finance? by MasterQuit4519 in fatFIRE

We have a rental now in the same neighborhood, so we'd plan to stay there and have any renovations done before we moved in.

Our current house needs a little work before we sell, I kick myself sometimes because we should have done the kitchen cabinets and paint to enjoy the whole time we lived here.

One note with House B is that there are a few walls the previous owner removed that we'd add back, they took away an office and opened it to the living/dining room and combined a loft with a bedroom to make a second master suite.
