My mom’s almost 60 from Mexico, is widowed, doesn’t know English, and had to leave school at around 3rd grade. She started working banquets at a hotel couple years ago. She made over $70k last year. She owns a home in Nashville proper worth about $400k and is looking to buy another. She raised 4 kids on her own and managed to put 2 through college. She lets me rent a room from her for $500/month. She’s also taken care of me and my daughter. I’m embarrassed to say that because I’m almost 40 and I’m the one that should be taking care of her or at least myself and my daughter. Anyway, all I wanted to say is that it’s still very much possible.
