maybe 6 week, 6 months, 2 years. In the meantime, what do they do? dementia
isnta classic you have it/you dont, its a scale, and people on the low end
of the scale can get about ok as long as they stick toa routine. Eventually
of course they will move to the bad end of the scale.

paying will be one of the last things to go though, because you learn it
early, it will more likely be forgetting to go shopping at all or buying
strange things.
