SENIORS DAY OUT
The Perks of Getting Older š
I woke up this morning, to my surprise,
A few more wrinkles around my eyes.
But Iāve learned to smile, itās not so bad,
For every year I get, Iām more glad.
My memoryās fading, thatās the truth,
I forget the little things, like my youth.
But Iām not complaining, itās all just fine,
I still remember where I left my wine! š·
My knees are creaky, and my backās a pain,
But Iāve got wisdom, so whatās to gain?
Iāve learned to laugh at the little things,
Like forgetting where I put my rings! š
So hereās to getting older, no need to fear,
Weāre just adding more fun with every year! š

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereās a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need šŖš°šŖ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship ā like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
