Looking for people like myself who need help at least with household work and transportation and can't afford assisted living. I am part of the "missing middle" who also can't qualify for Medicaid. I own a home now and live with my husband. I would like a roommate or live in worker to move with in the future, because husband has heart failure and I don't want to end up living alone. I have friends in Myrtle Beach but they can't help me enough. Anyone else wondering how they will live if they lose their support system.
The money is going to owners of the facilities. I have severe depression and health anxiety.
Thank you those who read and acted to my post.
I’m in a similar situation and I agree that the issue of aging in place without a strong support network can seem overwhelming.
That reminds me that every celebrity seems to write a children's book and/or a cookbook. That must make the competition rough for an ordinary creative type.
…With a condo, one owns the apartment. In a co-op, one owns shares in a corporation with the apartment as dividend.
Downunder it's known as a strata title and the HOA is called the Body Corporate.
I think it would be difficult to find a compatible roommate. Personally that would be my version of hell. There might be agencies that match people up looking for this kind of situation. You could always talk to a social worker at the department of aging. Every county and/or state has one.
Found it!Ha! Yeah. Problem with so many of these vanlife/tiny home videos is they are boring. They copy each other and make up faux-dire thumbnails to get clicks. But you need more than clicks. They need to have someone watch past the first 30 seconds. Watch the whole thing, hopefully. My argument is one needs to be an entertainer. Some of the most successful people are very low tech. One guy I know (he lives in my area) uses only his phone to record and a phone app to edit. He doesn’t own a computer! But he is hilariously entertaining and also informative. He is coming up on 250K subscribers and only been doing it a year.Maybe it comes down to the video short.

So true. I was having a conversation a while back with someone who was telling me they didn't believe in any government programs whatsoever, that people should stand on their own 2 feet. Welp, this person only ever worked part-times jobs when they felt like it because they inherited a bunch of money from one of their grandfathers who never really worked much either, merely was in the right place at the right time long ago and bought a bunch of property when it cost maybe a dollar an acre. So this person and their parent (the child of the grandparent) never worked much either because of all that property investment money coming in. But other people need to "stand on their own 2 feet." Uh huh.
What I have noticed is Mobile parks deteriorate with age. the Mobile homes fall down and become basically a place for homeless to camp. Am tinking sell out while you have good
To piggyback off what @Pepper replied, Co-op stands for cooperative housing. I usually say I own the apartment, but she's correct in saying we actually own shares in the cooperative. We used to use the term carrying charges to signify our mortgage and upkeep payments. Recently management changed it to HOA dues. Our mortgage has been paid off since 2012.
