Just Like the Young Ones the Seniors Think the Same

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.

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.
