Am I Making a Huge Mistake Moving to a 55 and Older Community?
Some of my friends think I am
I have quite a few female friends. Some are fighting the aging factor that is inevitable as years go by. If I could put a halt to it I would gladly do that. It’s not easy without surgeries, injections, and some cool sculpting for the bulges. My friends are doing many cosmetic things. Two have had some pretty nice facelifts. One had several face filler injections but denies it. One had the extra skin removed from under her arms ….but it came back. Fat farms, liposuction, numerous lotions and creams, masks and rubs….so much is available. The prominent advertising says “use what the stars use”. Doesn’t everyone want to look like them? With a pound of makeup on and airbrushed pictures. Who can live up to that in real life?
So I’m not too pleased when I get these comments from friends about how I’m moving to an old age place. They think I’m making a mistake and throwing in the towel. They just don’t understand the concept. One friend commented her mother had lived there….twenty years ago!
I won’t be the youngest person there. I’m pretty young, healthy, and vibrant. I plan on…
