Jack and I have been filling out a bit of paperwork these past few days in hopes of cutting our rent in half and taking the stress out of living longer. We want so much to get into the new Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing building across town. It is a fantastic new place- the first of its kind in LA- for low-income members of the community and its just been completed. As we grow into our mid-eighties together, our income gets lower. It’s always hard to feel as comfortable spending money because we don’t want to out live our retirement funds. There is a day in everyone’s life when you realize that you simply can’t work anymore. In any case, we’ve been big supporters of GLEH since before the groundbreaking. Housing is so expensive in this city. We hope there will be an opening for us but there actually are so many couples like us who qualify too.
