My ideal situation would be to work for room and board in return for being a companion to an elderly person or couple. I am a man and would like to help an elderly person(s) who are in good health and who can take care of their basic needs fairly well. However, they are in need a companion who can drive them around and help with shopping, balancing a check book, lite housework, cooking, yardwork, etc.

A rural location in the upper South or Midwest would be ideal. I live in the Chicago area but relocation within a reasonable distance would be no problem.

Another possibility would be to do a certain amount of accounting and bookkeeping in return for room and board and a nominal salary. In this situation, the people involved would certainly not have to be elderly. Again, a rural or small town location would be ideal. In this situation an ideal business would be a large farm, lumber business, or similiar type of business.

    Go to www.craigslist.org and place an ad in the area(s) that you are interested in living.

    I know that right now in Louisiana and Mississippi, people are providing room and board for those that are helping them rebuild at a lower rate! You may also find a large company that will do the same and you will make excellent money while doing that!! Hope that this helps
