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 [...]

If you think that the term “career burnout” applies only to adults 30-40 years of age then you are very wrong! Even seniors experience career burnouts and they are usually the ones that have been on job for so long, they don’t know how and when to stop working. Yes, you heard me right, these are your standard-issue senior workaholics. I believe that there are people who were born to [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Finding a job can be hard for seniors – especially seniors – since most of them have outdated resumes, have been out-of-practice for job interviews or are just plain too old to be looking for a job and starting a new career. With the advent of technology, the ground where you find work widened and your reach became longer. Imagine someone from far-flung areas like India or the Philippines can [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I won’t even dare say that seniors are computer illiterate and wouldn’t know the difference between a computer mouse and a house rat because that will definitely contradict the study that shows boomers to be the fastest growing group in terms of new Facebook users. Interesting right? Well, I am not surprised as I have 3 fellow bloggers well on their 60s and about 50% of my class in middle [...]
