Just Like the Young Ones the Seniors Think the Same Some people think a senior shouldn't be thinking of purchasing an investment when it comes by a property for them. People believe the negativity that a senior shouldn't invest on a property because to them it is a waste of time and they won't appreciate it. Yes, Carmina did question Mom Violy why she wanted to invest in a property during our pandemic time. Mom Violy said it is not just for me. It is also for you when the time comes when I am not around. At least you have somewhere to live and the value of the property will value more on how much I had purchased. Mom Violy felt being all alone she was thinking ahead of herself. Being at home makes you think of your future and what dreams you have ahead of your own self. My Violy lives in a condominium which is difficult having someone living below and above you. The noise you complain and being a senior you become sensitive in all the noise your neighbor makes. Even if the ...

Carmina was able to interview Mom Violy how it is like living alone during our pandemic. Mom Violy said it is lonely living alone and not able to go out because of the age.  Mom Violy claims when you hear most of your closest friends went toward dying due to health reasons not because of corona virus. You begin to go toward depression thinking all your friends have left you behind. You're the only one still living sometimes you think about death even if you don't want too. Mom Violy doesn't want to have Carmina live with her. She prefers to have her own privacy and not use too having someone at her side. Mom Violy is independent, but when she needs help she has people around her for example Sonny who drove us to our adventure is actually a security guard that works at the condominium of where Mom Violy lives.  Sonny works for the senior citizen part time to essential things needed from residents who live there by doing their errands or drive them around.
