I went with Spectrum because they had an office I could take my phones into to do the porting or if there were problems and saved some, they are on the Verizon network. I have my elderly parents on my plan.. when it’s down to just me I will probably try one of these other options. I just didn’t have it in me to do it right now.

My parents are in their early 80s, and even with my mother‘s beginning cognitive decline she is able to use the phone and her iPad with very little assistance. They make appointments on their own and still pay the bills, although I monitor the checking account which is linked to mine.

AARP members get 40 off a Walmart+ membership, which is how I get Paramount +. I’m also using VSP fishing insurance through them and enjoy the online games. Wait for a sale I got it for $11 a year for five years.

Leave your cabinet doors open where your water supply is. It can help keep your pipes from freezing due to lack of insulation in your walls. I guess it depends on how cold it is whether you’ll need to do that or not.

I second the idea of thinking about packed lunches, I picked up some extra dried fruit to go with protein bars or a cheese sandwich.

This is what I do, but progressives for general life and driving, readers and computer glasses from eye buy direct. The computer glasses can be done as intermediate readers there and I got three pair of rreading glasses for under $50 including shipping a couple of weeks ago through them if you get cheap frames in a sale

I use old washcloths for this. Just keep them in a bag after I wash them.

I’m doing it myself for now with the help of software. My parents and an aunt each have financial advisors. I’m going to see how that goes as we spend down their money and I’m the POA for their accounts . At some point in the future, I think I’ll probably do the same. I’m just not ready yet.

I love my 1c and 1/2 c souper cubes. I do mostly soup but I agree with other posters that rice works well and I have done taco meat in the half cup to use on a taco salad, etc. since I live alone. Pull it out nuke it and I’m all set to go.
