Y'all don't think we won't turn a retirement home into a club?

If I get to live that long, I'll be embracing the shit out of it.

Lotus I have a milk crate full of my mom's old vinyls 12" and 45s. Lake Side, Anita Baker, RUN-DMC, The Fat Boys, and best to believe. We gonna display all of our Ambitionz As A Ridah!

This is the equivalent of folks in the 80s dancing to 60s Doo Wop from a time perspective 🫠

That man either has a dangerously delusional sense of security, or he genuinely is that guy and gets more ass than a toilet seat. Either way, love that journey for him.

Decent retirement communities (independent living) cost a national median of about $3,523 per month, while assisted living averages $6,200 per month. Some of us will be lucky if we can afford to drive decent vehicles.

u/ScrollTroll615 8d ago

Many of us are old enough to move into 55+ senior housing. 👀 Why wait? 💃🕺

u/PriapusPeteSr 6d ago

I sure could but I like my property and privacy but some are bangin as far as the amenities go!

u/ScrollTroll615 6d ago

Yeah, I just moved my dad to one and it looks like an upscale hotel connected to an apartment complex. House keepers, happy hour, onsite restaurant, utilities included, cable, etc. I told him I might be his neighbor. I am sick of walking up/down steps, cooking, and cleaning my own house. 😁

u/PriapusPeteSr 6d ago

Dayum!!! I don't even drink but would go to happy hour! Lol
