You may have set yourself up for a comfortable retirement years before you needed to think about this but didn't realize the loneliness problem you would face. You drink your coffee in the morning, which is not that bad of a life, but when the day is coming to a close, you realize that you have no one to talk to. Your only companion is the TV. You don't know what day of the week it is. Your kids are all grown and have their own lives, and although they will always be there for you, it is just not the same. Helpful and grateful, but not the same.
I was exercising my Christian faith, believing without seeing. That is scripture, and it is hard to do. For the normal person, it's like being blindfolded, and a stranger is telling you where to go, to step up, to duck your head, and to turn here. But my loneliness has been my only companion for years, and when someone shows an interest in me and has come into my life with a buoy, I latch on. Even if it costs me some money.
But then, when the money is running low and is getting uncomfortable, I am shaking myself to wake up and stop. Stop all this and realize that something is wrong. It feels as though there is a crack in my piggy bank that is slowly leaking money.
Let me show you what I have learned, and in some way, this might steer you away from the edge of the cliff and get you to see that you are most likely getting scammed by I love you.
