Today I came across an article in the newspaper..." Senior citizens face hard times " It dawn on me that I am under this category.
Now, with the rising cost of living, we the poor old folks ...I am referring to those that are living off their savings, EPF and with no fixed income are in a dilemma as how to cope in this kind of situation.
What led to this predicament, only God knows......as for me , with two young children one in Uni and the other still in college and financially dependent on me ...Oh! I dread to calculate the costs!
I really sympathies those who are worst off than me, cause at the moment I am still able to "cope"
Let me elaborate ...........
You see, I'm a sufferer of gout, kidney disease, high blood pressure and god knows what else!!!
and I pray hard that the dreaded day will not come to drain me financially the funds I put aside for my children's education.
Every few months when I see my doctor , the very first few words that pop out from my mouth is..............
" is my creatinine level ok?" "how much is it now?"
My very fear is that if the inevitable happens ...... what next?
