It's the dream every MID woman has discussed with her best friends. You know the one. The one where you fantasise about living in a big house together, or maybe a bunch of tiny-houses on land, but the gist is the same: When we're older, we will live together and pool our resources and care for each other.
But for most of us, this dream remains a dream. For Eve Grzybowski and Heather Bolstler, two of the six people, all over the age of 70, who are living together on a beautiful property on New South Wales’ mid north coast - it is their reality. But, as you'll hear, this isn't the kind of thing you just "do."
Making this dream a reality takes planning, lots of conversations and communication and transparency - but Eve and Heather have a blueprint, and they're sharing it with you here, on MID with Holly Wainwright.
