HEAps of people doing it tough. It's surprising how many aged people are on the pov line. We see each week at one of our short stay properties , it's directly for a specific clientele , health issue related , who need budget accom? the thing we have noted among those 60+ with little to no money at all.
1. They have been through a marriage breakup , hence lost a lot of whatever they once had.
2. They smoke , and usually drink.
3. They won't forgo the smokes and drink , even to eat reasonably well.
4. Most of them are typical salt of the earth folk , not grubs.
And we just look after them as best we can. Often go out of our way to help them out , but you just do that for good folk.
Folk under 40 who need budget accom , usually a whole different kettle of fish.
