Quote from: 18hammers on Aug 08, 2023, 08:12 PMIt is a horrible thing being without the comfort and security of a stable place, X2 when you are a senior citizen. I get the seniors discount myself but have the security of a place to finish out my life without much worry so long as I keep the taxes paid. I have seen people (seniors)who live in their car in rural Alberta, I don't know how they do it, I know I couldn't.

Right now I'm not in danger of being without a roof, Medicaid is paying most of the exorbitant $16K/mo it takes to keep me housed in this SNF, and legally they can't evict me until suitable alternative accomodations are found.  The problem is as long as I am here, they take every penny of my retirement checks save $200 in pocket money for the month.

If I had to move into my car I would be in trouble, since I got rid of both of them.  I wasn't using them and every time I have had to move they were causing me problems.  Also since I wasn't using them the batteries were dying all the time.

No idea how long finding a new place is going to take.  I'm on 3 waiting lists of housing agencies, and I've been looking on craigslist and rent.com.  Problem there is they all want application fees now in the $50 range.  I don't have that money to spare. I alao have problems getting transportation to go look at places.  So it's a real problem getting out of here.
