Whether you are Young or Old, your Mom is your Mom!

Since this past summer, my 88 year old mom has been asking for me to visit.

So, we (the spouse and I) booked a time between the holidays to go to Boston.

My brother told me that our mom wasn't doing well.  So, off we go!

Anyway, it's going to be a short trip.  With the spouses business doing so well and mine starting to show life again, I have a feeling this might be the last time I get to be with her while she's still alive.

So, off we go. to Boston to visit family I haven't seen in awhile.

See you next week.

The more things change, the more they stay the same!

After reading Susan Phillips' "Select Leaders" posting about Millennials staying at home with parents to live, I got to thinking about the very subject she mentions here.

Jobs.

Since I have been self-employed for so long, it would take a miracle for me to go back to work for anyone else.

But, as she states, I work in an industry that is (supposedly) growing.  In the past year, I've gone from working large CRE deals to very, very small. (You take what you get, I suppose.)

The fortunate part for me is that I have a very low overhead and with my business so slow, I am still able to maintain myself with a huge help from my spouse. (Her industry is booming in Las Vegas.)

Anyway, with extended family having moved in to our household, this scenario covers the majority of Americans who have lost employment over the years and were replaced by automation.

It is an interesting read -- if only to me and my family situation.

Enjoy.
