Caring for an incapacitated senior can be overwhelming. Aside from their medical needs, you also need to consider the legalities of what’s happening and what would happen in the future. These things, if they are not addressed soon enough can certainly cause problems in the future. At this point, you will need a lawyer who specializes in elderly law. To find a lawyer, you could ask for referrals from friends [...]

Life is short, celebrate it! Just how many times have I heard that line and yet, it’s quite easy to forget it especially if you are living this so called life. Celebrating life makes it more worthwhile and meaningful! Celebrate your family! Every person is unique, so does your family – its members. I’m sure by now you know that no matter how much blood you all share, each and [...]

When you just lost your job and maybe even a *gasp* girlfriend, it is only natural to feel insignificant like your whole life is a complete waste of time. I highly suspect that it comes with age. When you reach 60, it becomes harder to stay optimistic and still be looking forward to a brighter future. Most of the seniors I know, especially those who have reached 60 with bagful [...]

Contrary to popular notion, being a senior or indeed a baby boomer can be financially hard especially if you have retired earlier than your nest egg could afford you. Unfortunately, in a cut throat world of corporations, nobody is indispensable – the minute you’re laid off, there are about 30 people waiting in line to replace you! This effectively places seniors and baby boomers in a very difficult situation. I [...]

As I’ve said again and again, your age bears no association with your ability to change. We need not get stuck with stereotypes nor the need to still be on the fastlane just because our lives were planned that way. Funny how many of my senior friends are doubtful when suggested to change the way they are living their lives now. Some will say it’s quite too late, others will [...]

I’m a bit bothered about all these national and local cuts on senior care funds happening nowadays, some of them are cleverly disguised as changes which promise better senior care etc. I won’t be bothered too much if I am not seeing a rise on the senior population which means there is enough reason for our government to apply changes just to balance things out. Seems to me that people [...]

Today I am going to share my experiences about blogging and how seniors can make a little money out of it. Because of my virtual assisting stint, I’m able to work with fabulous people who do this on a regular basis – I mean, do these things for a living which in my eyes made them a pro. However, I found out that there is indeed more to it than [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

“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, [...]
