To be partial enough to senior gents, here is a post specifically written for you so read closely. I know some of you are thinking – or maybe testing out the waters a little – of going back to the dating scene. It can be a little bit scary and doubtful since you may have been feeling out of practice and kind of rusty in this department. Never be discouraged [...]

In this society, cougars, or matured women dating men half their age, is not anymore frowned upon. In fact, in my honest opinion, it should be celebrated – envied even. Why? Point one: It is not easy to maintain such attractive qualities in aging women since your number one enemy is gravity itself. Everything in you sags and pulls so if you managed to be in your most attractive despite [...]

This blog post is for those seniors who don’t have any idea at all on how to use the computer and would love to learn or if you happen to be a daughter or a son or perhaps a grandkid and would like to get your grannies and grampas learn how to use the computer. If you are living in Seattle, you might want to check out their program sponsored [...]

Sure there are pains, physical and emotional. Sure, there WILL BE pain, and suffering and whatnot but if you ask seniors – those who are past midlife crisis, mind you – will tell you, growing old and gray isn’t so bad, certainly not as bad as we imagined it to be. In fact, when you reach a certain age, when you feel you’ve already done your part and just awaiting [...]

No matter what age you are in right now, your credit score is important however, maintaining it on a good credit standing is more important than anything else. Unfortunately, in America, this is easier said than done. Almost every adult living in America has at least one credit card in their wallet, waiting to be swiped. That, my fellow senior, is a temptation refusing to be ignored. Guts will tell [...]

While it is not bad to be the ideal patient to your kindly doctor, that is: do what the doctor says with no questions asked, it is important for seniors to be an empowered patient which is basically being above all the things that are being done to your body. Yes, that’s right, it is your body and you should be the one deciding what to do about it. Furthermore, [...]

Once in a while, I fall into this impulse buying trap. This is usually when I chance upon a big sale at some popular chain or brand. You see, I consider myself “mostly practical” spender which basically means I don’t just buy things without giving it much thought and I am proud to say that I was able to help a couple of impulse buying friends reassess their spending habits [...]

Learning can never be enough, you just never stop learning, no matter what your age is. We humans are made with nonstop thinking brain – yes, even if you order your brain not to think about anything, it will not stop thinking, just as your heart never stop beating. However, it needs exercise especially if you don’t like it getting all soupy. For seniors, being “soupy” is simply not acceptable. [...]

While marriage is a beautiful thing to have especially when you’re nearing your twilight, most seniors opt not to get married at all, not by personal choice but by considering the complications it may bring to their documentations and assets. As silly as it may sound, some seniors- and their daughters and sons, I presume- deem it beneficial to forego marriage and just live together to protect your assets. Of [...]

“Golden years” is simply passé. When you think of retirement and golden years, you are most likely to imagine kid-free house, no mortgage, trips to remote and unheard-of islands, holidays with grown-up kids and spoiled-rotten grandkids, growing old together with your partner, simple yet comfortable living and of course, no job or money pressures instead, you may now be looking at unknown years of caring for your grandkids, delayed retirement, [...]
