He queried some children, who don’t normally care for their parents.
\n“When last did you call your parents?
\nWhen last did you visit them?
\nWhen last did you send them money?”<\/p>\n
For the parents, he advised:
\n“If your children accommodate you overseas \u2014 behave yourself. Don\u2019t interfere in their marriages”.<\/p>\n
He gave a personal experiences, he said:
\n“What helped me is that
\nI have friends younger than me.
\nThey keep me company.
\nThey help with technology.
\nThey teach me fashion and adjustments,” he opined.<\/p>\n
On what will keep them going and living healthy lives, he emphasized.
\n“Develop new hobbies.
\nI resurrected my humor. I make comical videos
\nIt gives me joy,” he added.<\/p>\n
He pleaded with people mostly the aging parents and particularly younger people to form the habit of saving.<\/p>\n
“Develop cash flow systems in your 40s and 50s.
\nDon\u2019t wait for children to send money.
\nI keep money in pockets, Bibles, different places.
\nOne day I opened the pages of my Bible and saw $100,” he pleaded.<\/p>\n
He further added:
\n“Be a little selfish.
\nSleep well.
\nExercise gently.
\nThis vibration machine \u2014 10 minutes daily will help to normalize your\u2014 BP”.<\/p>\n
“Healthcare, he said , “is expensive.
\nInjections and monthly drugs are expensive.
\nDental care, eyes, knees, hips are all very expensive,” he said.<\/p>\n

\n“Exercise your legs.
\nIf you can\u2019t walk, you become a burden”.<\/p>\n

\n“My children will not carry my urine
\n*They will not carry my poo.
\n**I will not wear diapers.*
\n *I will walk erect like Moses.<\/p>\n
“Long life is good \u2014 but don\u2019t become a burden,” he said.<\/p>\n
