End of life story

An old man finds his house slowly overrun by neighborhood drug users and prostitutes.
Instead of trying to kick them out, he decides to befriend them, after all he is very lonely .
With this decision His home – and his life – will never be the same.

Yes, he is in his 70's .. at first he is able to maintain control.. but as the months go by his guests gain control..
and he now lives in a small room withoiut electricity and plumbing .. all he has left is a pot to piss in .
His house been overrun by neighborhood drug users and prostitues and his treasures scattered and his house in shambles..

The authorties step in..they now consider this an house of ill repute.. They want the house condemed ..
The old man , drug users and prostitutes out
They take the old man to the hospital for evaluation
He is now in Big Brother's care
Old Man's final years are not what he expected or wanted ..

Moral of the story:
Choose your friends wisely and make sure you plans for retirement make sense..

or you will end-up in the hands of Big-Brother or Big-Sister

Thanks for your help

From the laptop of Bob .. trying to be a very sensible retiree

That's an idea. That makes sense. We would have to figure out the details but this could work....
