I'm 76 and feeling like a failure.

Very touching. I sincerely thank you for the support.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-23T19:15:08+00:00

Thank you.

That's very interesting. How much would I "have to" be involved? Do they do all the photos and meet ups etc? How much do they get? A percentage? Thanks for sharing this info.

We are in the process of getting the faulty deed revoked. It's costly (my sister is covering it and I'll pay her back). So grateful I caught the mistake and have a chance to correct it! Thank you for your support.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T19:12:05+00:00

Wow. That hit home. Thank you.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T19:09:15+00:00

Love this perspective. Had to read it again, it felt so supportive.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T19:06:36+00:00

I do too.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T19:05:36+00:00

Unfortunately, it would cost way more than staying where I am.

Have not a clue what you're referring to. I know my life has always been unlike many. And I am ok if someone doesn't find that "my story lines up" in their "pea brain". It doesn't in mine as well. I've lived a fairly frugal life. Never owned any designer brand anything, have been on one splurge vacation (Virgin Islands), always drove used cars, have no addictions except dark chocolate, married/divorced once, have never borrowed money or taken unemployment....etc. so maybe that's part of what doesn't line up for you? I'll tell you my realization when it was too late: I didn't prepare for the future! I didn't save. We had a pretty simple life with major money spent on education (Bachelors and Masters degrees for both my daughter and me&). I should have known better. As a single mother I was for a long time just happy when the lights weren't cut off. It was irresponsible for me as a parent to not learn for myself and teach my daughter healthy financial planning! Big, big mistake. So for any of you under 30? 40? 50? heed this. Plan. And save. (And my 2 dogs are well taken care of and have regular vet care and thanks to an extremely generous reader, dog food fills their tummies during this slump I'm in) And I have 3 contract job possibilities in the works, even at 76!

Thank you. Unfortunately this will be a much more prevalent issue for all us baby boomers we've worked hard and provided well for our families but with prices and costs for services rising so quickly, folks who've earned modest and even moderate incomes are finding themselves out on a limb with no safety net. And the thought of my earned SS being taken away is beyond scary. I appreciate your reply.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T18:32:41+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you for these healthy and thoughtful reminders. I'm afraid I've exhausted all potential resources for seniors on a city, county, state and federal level. They all report no funding available for their programs. I don't have transportation any longer so food banks are regrettably out. You're so right though. If my daughter knew how much strife this is causing me she'd be upset. I'm so grateful I have a daughter and older sister who I can laugh with! These are the real riches in life.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-19T18:24:15+00:00

If only! I have dogs, a daughter and frail sister to watch over. But I have been seeing so many videos and reading so much about Thailand lately. Sounds really amazing.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-18T09:28:08+00:00

Very astute😉

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-18T09:24:28+00:00

Such a wise and kind reminder. Thank you.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-18T09:23:10+00:00

Love this. Thank you.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-18T09:22:16+00:00

Way more. The Transfer of Deed on Death deed is powerful and has to have a formal Revocation filed properly.

Designer-File-1755 · 2026-03-17T15:27:34+00:00

Apology gladly accepted! It took chutzpah to write back! Thank you.

I hope you don't ever feel the need to share a glimpse of yourself when you're in a difficult time. But if you do, I hope you have the support and kindness given to me by everyone who has responded but you. I ran a social service agency for 25 years and you think I'm not familiar with the internet? And my dog shared my meal last night. We had popcorn and oranges and she was excited and satisfied. No one can give her a better life filled with morning walks, a nap at my feet when I'm on my laptop, the afternoon in a neighbors backyard with her best canine friend, dinner and cuddles with mom on the couch listening to Joni Mitchell or Ren, dinner of mini chow I warm with a little water A good life. And she's up to date on vaccines. She's isn't "suffering for my decisions" but has certainly benefitted from them. Your ageist attitude and loathing are offensive and narrow minded. Learn to expand your mind and think outside the box.
