I know, and that's why I do everything I can to help my local seniors. With our landlord raising rent 3x in one year, he can't buy his medications anymore. So I help him with some extra money, he's helping me with some financial stuff... and well, I cook often for him. :) He might be moving (rent-free) to Hawaii though, and that will be good. Believe it or not, he's an elderly (88) gay, REPUBLICAN! :D He's so sweet. But it has definitely given me an incentive to save and plan.
God bless you for helping this poor soul out! I know he must really appreciate it.
It would be wonderful if he could move to Hawaii. Rent Free? Excellent!
It just takes a case like his to turn us around to a different mind set about saving money.
