What do YOU Fear the most about getting old?
Is it - arthritis? Losing your hair, wrinkles (face it it's a true fear); being alone?
Actually, most of the research suggests it is NONE of those things....
It's actually.... MONEY !!💸😱. It seems to take wings and fly faster as you age.
Is this YOUR situation? THE TOP 10 FEARS OF SENIORS:
💸😱1/ Do I have enough retirement savings?
💸😱2/ What if I lose my job before I even get to retire?
💸😱3/ What if my spouse or I get sick- how will our money, savings (if any), be enough? This seems to apply to women especially - generally, women outlive men, but may not earn as much; what happens if the bread winner dies?
💸😱4/What if I run out of money to pay bills? Rent? Mortgage?
💸😱5/ Will I ever repay my debts before I die?
💸😱6/ Do I even have enough money for my funeral (end of life planning)?
💸😱7/ What if my Identity is stolen and I lose all my savings anyway?
💸😱8/ What if the stock market crashes and inflation rises beyond my means?
💸😱9/ Have I become replaceable by computers (and therefore lose my position, title, or job entirely?)
💸😱 10/ What if I don't have enough money for basic healthy food items, vitamins, special diet if needed?
These are REAL fears ; but please don't despair!
You CAN:
💰😊✅1/ Talk to your family, trusted fiends and m]health care provider about seeking financial advice- It is NEVER too late!
💰😊✅2/ Do what YOU can in taking a good hard look at your expenses- is there ANYTHING that may be cut down or out so there is at least something you can set aside- it may not be a s bad as you think!
💰😊✅3/ CLICHE - DO the best you can, and less worry!- (It can only shorten your lifespan anyway!🤷🏽♀️
LIVE- HAVE A GOOD LIFE! YOU DESERVE IT! AT ANY AGE!💗💯
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours always💗

Gents!! JUST for YOU! From me👩🏽⚕️😊👍🏽(with another Specially Invited Guest)
This is the Final Segment for November- What a month!
PART 2 of 2 - Men's MENTAL HEALTH - Do You Really Need a Therapist?
Sadly, despite the increasing need worldwide of issues concerning men's mental health, seeking "help" is still viewed with stigma and disdain.
WHY??
3 words: STIGMA , FEAR, and SHAME.🤫🥺😟
👴🏽😟" REAL men don't go to the doctor; only WEAK men do".
This is one of the MAJOR reasons for men , older and younger, from seeking help, seeking a listening ear, and descending into "depth of despair" and, sadly, suicide and substance abuse continue to escalate as a means of escape.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷Please join me as I am so grateful to discuss these matters with Clinical Psychologist Mr. Krisnan Hurdle who will
🔷Review those at risk
🔷 Describe the many ways that men can (safely and in privacy reach out to a trained therapist for assistance ) and
🔷Practical methods and healthy coping strategies which not only improve self-confidence, but also improve the closest and most meaningful relationships in our lives!
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Contact Mr Hurdle : @https://www.instagram.com/insightconsultingcbean/
I trust that you will find this information vital for you and your friends and family who may be struggling to cope with stressors.
It is a sign of COURAGE💯 , NOT weakness, to reach out when you are overwhelmed.
Remember:
👴🏽😟💙LISTEN! If your friend or relative is exhibiting any of these signs , listen to the unspoken word; take them seriously (suicide among older persons IS increasing)
👴🏽😟💙Don't just "bring it up"; start with general conversation and again: ;let them TALK!
👴🏽😟💙 Form a "men's only community- "MANSHED" - mentor, provide a safe space to talk freely and .... eventually suggest seeking help.
Gents; older or younger:
WE NEED YOU!💙💙💙
YOU MATTER!💙💙💙
What action step will you take TODAY?
💙Prevention, Preparation, Protection💙
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours💗
