2. What could you do to improve your finances in the future?

I’m pretty limited to make much of a difference in my finances now I’m retired and on a fixed income. I’m too old to work at any sort of manual job and my computer skills wouldn’t cut it for any sort of office work, so unless I have a windfall, such as a lottery win, I’m pretty well stuffed.

I could enter more competitions with my writing, but they are really hard to win. I’m too lazy to write a novel. I have no relatives left who are likely to die and leave me money or property. I could perhaps rob a bank? No, too dangerous and it takes an idiot to think they could get away with a bank robbery, anyway.

I could take a massive risk with what little money we do have and invest it in some crazy scheme, but I’m not brave or foolhardy enough to do that.

I could have a garage sale and sell all the junk my husband has collected over the years, but I’d have to do it when he wasn’t looking.

I think Ive exhausted all the options available to me, and it appears my finances aren’t going to get much of a boost anytime soon.
