Is There Affordable Housing in California

 

 

 

 

Yes, there is affordable housing in California if you are rich, or have a large income. So, what is the problem? Why do so many people live on the streets?

Most of the people living in California are not rich or have large incomes. That is the problem.

Housing is going up everywhere but can you afford to buy these houses?

Most start at $700,000 and up.

Apartment rentals are rising daily. I wonder if there are empty apartments in California because nobody can afford to rent them.

Now families are doubling up and splitting expenses. Is this the way you want to live sharing your home just so you can pay the electric bill?

The problem keeps escalating and it seems we who live in California feel that this problem that is so important keeps circling the drain and now it funnels down to the sewers.

What is the answer?

Does it seem nobody can come up with an answer? If they did there would be affordable housing for people who need this.

What do you think?

Hearing Aids and Tinnitus

I have tinnitus it gets worse every day. My last hearing test showed that the nerve in my ear was deteriorating. In the past when I have had hearing tests my results were within normal limits.

Now with this new test, the ENT doctor finally said that yes you have tinnitus. I have asked doctors over the years why? What is it? But I have never received an answer.

I did know one thing whenever somebody said it was a ringing in my ears, I knew they were crazy. I never had a ringing in my ears I had a buzz saw going off in my brain.

Now with my test result, I got an MRI of my brain and ears and thankfully it was negative. I was sent to two other ENT doctors for different reasons and they all agreed I need hearing aids.

I went through the process of purchasing blue tooth hearing aids. I mainly wanted it for tinnitus.

I want you to know when I do not have the hearing aids in my ears, I have tinnitus. It seems that it gets louder.

I want you to be aware before you pay big bucks for hearing aids that tinnitus doesn’t go away sometimes.

I watched y-tube videos on tinnitus and it is a good education on what tinnitus is after twenty years of wondering the answer was there.

Hearing aids are great for the blue tooth part. Answering phone calls without your cell phone in your hand and listening to music.

I can hear.

Thank you for reading my article.

Can You Live On Social Security

Can You Live on Social Security?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the deal. You work the best years of your life and now that you are older your retired. The salary you had been earning for the past years is gone.

Yes, you have earned money from Social Security. But can you live on it?

There are thousands of people living on the streets. Did you ever ask yourself why is that?

The simple reason is Social Security does not pay you enough to live in the inflated world we are living in.

After my rent is paid, I have $100.00 left from my Social Security check.

How much do you have left?

Yeah! Social Security went up this year a few dollars and guess what they took most of the increase out in Medicare Part B payments.

If you are lucky to have a spouse who still brings in an income, is independently wealthy, or receives a retirement check from your employment  – hurrah!

But for most of us out in the world, seniors, who need more help now than ever before there are only the streets.
