5 Things You Can COUNT ON In Old Age (When You Can't Count On Anyone Else) | Senior Wisdom

"Mom, I think it's better if you go back home."

Dorothy heard those words from her own daughter—not because her daughter was cruel, but because Dorothy had become inconvenient. She sold everything, moved across the country to be near family, and 3 months later was told to leave.

This is the reality no one wants to admit: Blood doesn't guarantee loyalty. The people you sacrificed everything for may not be there when you need them most.

📊 According to a 2024 survey, 70% of seniors don't expect their children to care for them in old age—not because they don't want to, but because they know it's not realistic.

So what DO you count on when you can't count on anyone else?

In this video, I share 5 things that will hold you up:

✅ PURPOSE - Something that makes waking up worth it
✅ ROUTINE - A daily rhythm that keeps you grounded
✅ FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE - Not wealth, just enough to keep your dignity
✅ CONNECTION - Not a crowd, just a few people who know you exist
✅ HEALTH - The ability to recover and function independently

These five things won't love you. They won't hug you. But they'll hold you up when nothing else does.
