  1. Smart lady! I researched and opted for a Matrix after my Exodus in 2012. I wasn't necessarily looking for something that I could live in if I had to. But I noticed that a lot of senior citizens had Matrixes so I was looking for something that was reliable, had enough room with my kids needed to stretch out on a road trip, something I could afford on my school clerk salary, something that I could transport lots of things around in but that would fit into my small area garage. We had always gotten oversized, gas guzzlers. I had begun researching vehicles close to 6 months before I filed to leave. After teaching two teens to drive and allowing my daughter to use it to commute to classes, it was totaled on the parkway. (Wrong way driver headon). Then I got another hatchback, but living in it still wasn't on mind. Then my son stop by on his way from Kansas down to Florida. He is a medically retired mechanic from the Army so he knows cars. When I saw his Subaru, I knew what my next (and last) car was going to be. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

  2. My mother and bonus dad are both retired. He is a retired marine and has had two hip replacement surgery. My mom is a retired banker and has a pension. They were looking at a 55 and over complex their entire checks combined. There was a story on the news down here of a group of seniors that had been paying their monthly rent for their facilities but the rent was not going toward the mortgage. Those tenants got an order to vacate within 30 days. The owner of the facility file bankruptcy. 😔 My mom and her husband were really looking into something like that. I told them they need to just sit tight. We go over and clean their gutters and I have my lawn guy go over and cut the grass for them. He charges $25 a week. Her husband has cataracts and glaucoma so he can no longer dr. Mom has arthritis in her hands so it is uncomfortable but it is manageable. They get meats and canned goods from the pantry at church and most times she will split it with me and my sister-in-law because it is so much. Now that my last little one is gone, I have been cooking whatever is in the freezer. I have not gone grocery shopping except to get my leafy green salad, grapes, and yogurt. Everything else I am doing is from the freezer. I am doing some major downsizing and not buying anything that I don't need. Investors don't want to give me what my house is worth, and the new rents for a smaller place are double what my entire mortgage is. So I'm just going to sit tight, close the doors to the rooms that I'm not using, and continue to prepare as much as possible. I did find a tiny home community one County over & taxes arw lower, but all the homes are owner-occupied. But I also found a 55 and older RV community about an hour from me. I just want to know some options. ~Great no build build! 🚗☁️☁️
