“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, [...]

You would be amazed how seniors are now getting into online selling. Just consider the number of successful online stores out there that are operated and managed by seniors, particularly those who have just retired and enjoying the perks of retirement. It is a no-brainer actually, online selling indeed fits seniors to a tee. Why not? Online selling allow seniors to be able to control their working hours, work from [...]

When we were younger, we look forward to retiring. We work long hours just to be able to make ends meet and at the same time, save a little something for retirement. Retirement, for many American adults, is considered as the next phase, when there is nothing anymore to worry about, a time to travel and just do whatever you want, whenever you want. You are not expected to be [...]

I seriously think seniors should be given a handbook or something of all their possible benefits and how they should go about it once they reach the tender age of 50. I mean, it’s quite hard to keep track of it all, right? I now have the suspicion that despite their knowledge of how forgetful seniors can be, they are deliberately making us forget so we miss all the fun! [...]

Nobody said that writing your own will is fun, in fact, most seniors prefer to write and be done with it and not bother to update it until last minute, if they ever get one – and sometimes they don’t, so it leaves their surviving families in a lot of confusion and potentially, heartaches. On many counts, drafting and writing your own will is a hard job. Not only it [...]

A will is not something you plan, draft, finalize, get stamp and be done with it. Your will needs to get updated too every once and a while or if there is a major change in your life such as remarrying or in an event of a divorce. You reexamine important points in your will and make necessary adjustments to it. It is practically an ongoing thing and never a [...]

Your home becomes a big deal right after you hit your retirement age, there’s no doubt about it. You even have to plan ahead, consider several housing options and decide – even pay—on what you want even before the need arises. That’s the weird part of it, just when you finally found your own, true home – a place where you truly belong — you’ll be forced to look for [...]

Well, it doesn’t really have to be an income generating business for seniors to take advantage of these awesome online tools; it can also be a venture, or a cause you’ve been trying to raise awareness of or perhaps a project you’re working on such as an extensive family tree or simply a way to connect with your loved-ones. Whatever it is, it is still good to know some online [...]

Oh how I love the term! Being a cheapskate has its own downside, sometimes people won’t take it well just because you are acting out of the norm or, by being a cheapskate by nature you sometimes forget to extend proper behavior expected from you by other people. You  need not be as you can still be a senior with etiquette while being a cheapskate and save few more extra [...]

I just love the notion that seniors are now moving forward even after retiring from fulltime work.  It’s not all about money, you know. However, I must admit that money plays a really huge part on why seniors are now opting to work even after retirement. Whether it’s trying to make life a little more comfortable or perhaps make yourself a bit busier as retired life can be boring, you [...]
