However, there still stand numerous age-related anomalies which we have yet to solve. Indeed, there will come a time when aging would catch up—it’s inevitable. It could even be sooner than we think!

As taboo as it may seem, elderly abuse is common and according to statistics, only 1 out of 14 incidents get reported. I say, the level of awareness when it comes to elderly abuse is partly to blame. We don’t really know when and to what extent should an act of a caregiver or of the supposed “abuser” be considered as an abuse already. We just know that when there’s [...]

As much as there are seniors who might still be in the dark when it comes to Twitter—or any other social networking site for that matter—let’s not forget those who are already conducting their businesses online, and quite successful in doing so.

It may be morbid to blog about funerals especially to seniors like me but practically speaking, planning for your own funeral can actually save you and your loved-ones time, energy and of course, money.

In reality, putting up together a comfortable nest egg is not as easy as it may seem. It involves a lot [...]

Riding the public transportation can be tough and it requires certain amount of “superhuman” powers such as “perfect” hand-eye coordination, “uncanny” motor skills, and “unbelievable” dexterity!

All these things make it harder for seniors to bear public transportation especially if they [...]

While you go frolicking under the sun and smelling flowers, con artists are busy putting together scams to rip your money off you.

Better take it as a warning than an offensive statement. What seniors need to know though is [...]

Planning and starting your own business, especially for retired seniors, are both fun and exciting as it marks a new chapter in your life and also, it will help you keep the financial aspect of your retired life running.
