I think of a recent thread here on food delivery services and how those prices are insane. I would never use them because of the cost. However they would be key for my elderly, mobility impaired Mom. How the heck is she supposed to afford that (especially since she won’t take help for it)?
She’s no longer able to do any home maintenance herself but has been on a fixed income for years: how can she afford to hire anyone? In this scenario, my brothers and I kick in time , money, or work whenever we can help
but I don’t see how elderly in her situation can afford to live otherwise. Each time I do, it really hits me how poorly we treat our elderly. We’re all going to be in that situation some day: do you really think it won’t affect you?
