December 28th, 2024 is upon us all and with a whole 3 days left after today, it is time to look forward to 2025.
We can’t change the election results in anyway and yes we will now have a second Trump term of four years. For those of us who, did not get the President we wished, we must get ready. I recommend, saving every penny you can, and preparing for problems before they come. if you own a home keep it, if you owe on bills pay them off, if you can. be prepared, for who knows what is coming next.
As we close in on 2525, be prepared for prices to rise from the gas pumps to the grocery stores to clothing too. Doctor Bills will rise also as trump tries to mess with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security and the Affordable Care Act. So many priorities, will change from one Administration to another. For the immigrants who are here, whether you are here legally or not, I would cover my ass, if I were you you. His deportation plans are scary as hell, and i am sure will break apart families, because he doesn’t care. As to the Border, and closing it, be prepared to pay more taxes to do so. Mexico won’t pay for it for sure and you can bet, Trump will try to build it again. means more Border Guards and more security costs. I am sure all understand that. someone has to pay for all of it plus his tariffs he wishes to put in place, guess who Americans, you! That is the way I see thepolitical world of America going into 2525 and another Trump Term.
On a personal note, I recommend taking care of oneself, fully. Keep you money tight, pay your bills and walk the thin line and try not to fall from the black into the red. If you get into debit, it will be far too expensive for the next four years, to get a loan, interest rates will rise. So, do yourself a favor, don’t spend if you don’t need to, period.
Now, as a Senior Citizen myself, I live alone, and have since i became a widower in August or 2021, basically. Self-sufficient is the way to be, depend on no one or nothing, live on what you have. I don’t have a relationship or partner so I am lucky in that way, because I have only me to take care of these days. Track your income carefully all, ya will need to.
As to finding a relationship or someone to share my life with, well, at my age, of almost 69, it is best I find to just try to have fun and stay alone. crossing over the line into a relationship will cost, either me as an individual or whomever I am with. So, in the economy we have, best to not go there I think. maybe I am wrong, but, it’s a rough and tumble world out there, isn’t it. In today’s world, even a friend with benefits situation costs, and can be expensive lol. Beside age is alway a factor anyway isn’t it?
I am hoping for 2525 to be better, happier, and more fun for me. I want to get out more, have more fun if I can. I am hesitant to do so, even if I want to. The danger of being a Senior Citizen and being taken advantage of is real. Too many hucksters and more out there, trying to steal what you have. They attack your income, savings and more, so it pays to be careful at all costs. In the meantime one can’t just hide and do nothing can one? So, you have to be careful in all you do or not do. Life is no bowl of cherries these days is it? I just hope at some point I can find a balance and some happiness in the future, so I can live my Senior Years out in peace. Is that asking too much? I think not.
I have as of today out lived my two grandfathers ages, my father’s age, my mother’s age and even my step=father’s age. I have survived through physical pain, mental pain and recoveries. I have survived injuries and even cancer so far. I think I am hanging in there, but know, I am alone. I will probably never find another woman to be with I am old. So I wil accept it as such and not really look, why should I? LOL! Life does happen and force you to accept what it gives to you and makes you deal with it. That’s all any of us can do, folks, unless we hit it rich quick lol.
