    Hey, if you are willing to pay $7000 a month, you can always move into an assisted living facility. They have lots of nice third spaces and communities. But only if you can pay.

      I’ve seen regular condo and high rise complexes have stuff like movie theaters and tennis courts, wood shops and stitching rooms, puzzle and reading rooms. Some are even having restaurants as well.

      I got paid $9 an hour to hose down the furniture in the alzheimer’s wing of one of those places. Man those places are bleak.

        But hey, the owners get to drive Bentleys
