I have blogged about my fear of growing old and destitute many times before.
Indeed, it is this fear that helps shape the person that is AK and not just in terms of money matters.
However, what is worse than growing old and destitute?
Today, I had a chat with a fellow blogger:
FB:

Alamak!
So, what is worse than growing old and destitute?
Possibly, being rich and suffering from dementia!
Hey, it might sound funny to some of you but I am serious hor.
OK, at least half serious.
Remember the real story of the rich old lady who was cheated of her money by some tour guide?
At least in that case, her daughter found out and took action.
Or was it her grand-daughter?
Oh, no! I cannot remember.
Anyway, how many similar cases go unnoticed or unreported?
So, what is worse than growing old and destitute?
Maybe it is not being rich and suffering from dementia.
Maybe it is from being rich and suffering from dementia to being old and destitute!
The horror!
Happy Saturday!
