Summers are indeed fun, not only for the young ones but for young-at-hearts too! Not only the season gives plenty of reasons to go out and have some fun but also opportunities to earn some bucks while doing so. The part I love most is the perks that come with it! Who doesn’t want freebies anyway? Below are some of the awesome jobs seniors can take during the summer. Remember, [...]

Of all the topics I could write about, tax would be my least favorite. You must understand, tax filing is the time of the year I would rather be swallowed up by the ground and be spewed out when it’s over and done. If it were not for my accountant then I would have been in jail for being so ignorant when in comes to tax filing! However, overtime I [...]

I have never been a good example of cheap spending nor do I spend impulsively. I would like to think of myself as a responsible spender. Whenever I need to buy something, I make sure that I absolutely need them and I get value out of my money. I wouldn’t recommend seniors to be cheap as well, as there are things you really have to spend your money on and [...]

Indeed, shopping and cooking for one is no fun. In fact, studies suggest that this situation usually causes a senior to not eat healthy and can even lead to depression. Sensibly speaking, it is often not practical and if you are not too careful, you might end up with too much excess—to your dog’s delight, of course, or your neighbor’s if you don’t have a dog. However, with a little [...]

Now that we are aging right according to schedule, it is important that we also move on to doing better and worthwhile things. We’re now done with regular life troubles such as making money, keeping the family intact, making sure you have enough to keep the roof over your head and food on the table, etc. It’s now time to satisfy your inner calling and give back to the world [...]

If living independently is a dream come true among seniors then you might have heard of the horrors that come with multigenerational families as well. Multigenerational families or household are homes which house a family belonging to at least three generations long. There should be the grandparents, the parents, kids and sometimes even the “kids of the kids” so you can just imagine how chaotic that may be. On the [...]

You mourn the day they move out of the house, you stopped yourself from begging them to come back plenty o’ times, you struggled to get used to being on your own, next thing you know your kids are knocking at your door—your grandkids or suitcases in tow-asking for you to take them back! Now what? Ever since the global economic crisis’ hit, more and more seniors are finding their [...]

To kick-start the New Year, we are off to discussing one of my favorite subjects:  online store. Online stores are really simple in principle and it works both ways for sellers and consumers however, it can get really confusing setting up one since there are about thousands of “e-commerce gurus” out there claiming to have the “secret formula” to your online store success. We, seniors, should not be fooled by [...]

Holidays should not always mean you burn your wallet off gifts and enter the new year almost penniless! Like what I always say, with little resourcefulness and a lot of guts, we seniors can still earn while enjoying retirement. Today, we’re going to talk about holiday jobs that are perfect for seniors and retirees: •    Are you detail oriented and have no problem standing for hours? Do you have a [...]

So you finally realized—and accepted—that now is the right time for a career change but still a little doubtful if you still have the energy and time to do it. Of course, let’s not forget the financial aspect of it. However, it is not uncommon for seniors to hold on to that lifelong dream and actually fulfilling it. Most seniors often welcome thoughts of career changes when nearing retirement while [...]
