Uncle Bill would say this to me every time I visited. He was a war veteran and had been one of the Rats of Tobruk in WW2. Now approaching 100 years old, he had all the issues that age can inflict except dementia. Once you reach a certain age, the Government wants to check your brain function regularly to determine if you are still mentally competent. You go through the same tests that Donald Trump went through, which he claimed showed that he was a stable genius. Uncle Bill told me one visit that he had to go in to do the tests again, and he suspected they would be the same as last year’s test. I suggested he sit down and ask if they plan to have him count backwards by 7s from 100 again or ask who the current Prime Minister is. I don’t know if he did, but I do know that he thought it was a great idea and would clearly show that he was still mentally competent. Financially the older generation is fleeced by the retirement villages, nursing homes and anyone else who thinks they can take advantage of them. It seems that anyone providing a service to an older person thinks they should die with nothing left despite all their years of working, paying taxes, saving and investing for retirement. Unless you have nothing, in which case you pay nothing, everything you do have will be stripped away. That is the case until you have a significantly large nest egg. The answer is clear. You, and I, need to keep adding to our nest egg even after retirement. Semi-passive income streams will keep them at bay because you can pay your way. That prevents them from taking your savings and causing you to sell your home. Uncle Bill didn’t quite make it to 100. Regards, P.S. Making your videos stand out will increase your views.
