Aging In America: Yes, You've Lost Ground, How to Head Off Homelessness

 It's cheaper than psychotherapy. So, the aging in angst about whatever tend to come for a tarot reading versus an appointment with a therapist. 


,More and more the anxiety is about losing traction in controlling expenses. BusinessInsider documents that reality:

"The share of all Americans living below that adjusted poverty measure grew from 9.1% in 2020 to 13.1% in 2025. For Americans 65 and older, that rate grew from 9.4% to 15.4%."

Homelessness isn't unthinkable.

To head that off I guide those over-65 to:

Be willing to pull up roots and relocate from HCOL area such as the East Coast to a LCOL one. That includes getting on waiting lists around the nation for subsidized housing. That's usually billed at one-third your income such as Social Security. 

Keep working. That's income coming in. Having work tends to lead to better work. 

Unretire. You probably can no longer afford to not work. There's plenty of free info on the internet how to develop job-search materials. Put the resume and cover letter through free GPT. Practice interviewing with those who haven't left the workplace.

Use Food Banks. No shame in that. 

Consider no-car transportation options. E-trikes are catching on. Yes, you can insure them on a personal property policy and get road service through AAA. Yes, you can keep them in your house, apartment or garage.


Never shop retail again for clothing. Thrift shops are the new cool. You can even find in them brandnames that can be used for job interviews. 

Volunteer. That pulls you out of isolation. As a result, you will think more clearly. 

About half of my clients are 50 years of age or a bit older. It's never too early to develop a realistic fear of running out of having enough money.

You deserve success, deep connections and inner peace.

Let’s Remove what's blocking that with an Inspired Tarot Reading.

Career Shift - Letting Go of "Who You Used to Be"

Image
  Those "B" movies got it all wrong. The Death Card in the tarot isn't a message about death. It signals something new will be happening. The raised horse's foot indicates that's what you're moving toward. And it'll be occurring soon.  But, as in all the tarot cards, the dynamic is about letting go of what has been. When it involves a necessary career shift that means leaving behind who you used to. Otherwise, the transformation can't take place. There's plenty of truth in the old cliche: One door has to close for a new one to open. Usually professionals coming in for a tarot reading are in extreme pain. Their former way of making a living is collapsing. Or has collapsed. Yet, they lead in with a detailed round-up of what that was all about. Their former achievements. Their former daily routine. The sacrifices they had made. Gently, I re-direct the session to how they can leverage the past into a fresh approach for putting together a livelihood. Mo...

The Scenic Route and Other Pivots Away from Efficiency

Image
  Several   years from now will the new cultural power structure be laughing hilariously at Meta, VW and more which boasted how efficient they are and how more efficient they would become.  Actually, even in its heyday - that is right now - the efficiency mandate seemed comically overwrought. The ethos reminds us of all those back-seat drivers who insisted Route A was the most efficient. Verboten was taking the scenic one that treated us to the serene snippets of cows and horses grazing, ghost towns and general stores.  In the tarot the anti-efficiency card is The Chariot. The journey is being determined by natural contours. Yeah, let it be. Don't hold tight to the reins.  The biggest successes in my career emerged when I was off the efficiency game. Beyond burnt out to deep fried, I had left methodically chasing revenue through ghostwriting/speechwriting. I fell into dabbling in blogging, often staying up all night playing around in that new medium in 2004....

New York Metro Area in the 1950s: Growing Up Like Jeffrey Epstein (but we didn't become monsters)

Image
  If you were young in the 1950s, lower middle class (or even lower) and based in the New York Metro area you probably grew up much like Jeffrey Epstein.  Today The New York Times captures the details of how it was for all of us back then. And, as the entries from his pals from those days for his 50th Birthday Book testify, there was (and is) great nostalgia for how it was. Essentially the defining characteristic of that unique childhood and our teenage years was this, reports the NYT: "the unwatched way they grew up."  Families were too overwhelmed financially surviving to supervise us.  The Catholics among us had too many kids to seem to be able to keep track of the ever-increasing number.  And the recent immigrants were preoccupied with chaos within the home such as drinking problems.  My gallows humor years later was that if my sisters and I hadn't come home for several days no one would even notice.  Unwatched by adults, we were formed by our frie...
