Absolutely, no question about it. My mother, who was the best person I've ever known, was reduced to nothing before she died. She raised two children alone, working multiple jobs to provide for us. At the end, she had lost everything, materialistic and her health. I remember her crying because she wasn't able to care for herself.
That taught me more about life than any other experience I've lived through, including being a single mother myself. I'm not sure exactly when, but you better believe that I will be prepared to leave on my own terms. It all depends on how bad things get.
