Let’s face it, not all retirement plans end in a successful fruition. Some seniors I know, or those nearing retirement are quick to admit, it really takes a lot more than careful planning. Worse, if luck is not on your side, market shares drop unexpectedly, leaving you with last minute, frantic calculations of your liquid assets and those unattended extra something you can quickly turn into cash, i.e assets you [...]

Seems like working at home is on the rise as I have been receiving questions from my senior friends regarding this. There are many whats, hows and ifs, however, if you are quite familiar on how computers and the internet work, you are most likely to find your niche—or your own place—in no time! For business-minded seniors who have limited startup budget or perhaps looking for a more flexible way [...]

What I really , really love about computers, internet and indeed the world wide web is the ability to share valuable information without having to go out there and work your way against obstacles. I will tell you about the first time I fell inlove with the technology: back then, there’s no internet, just your simple desktop computer and few gigantic, impossible looking laptops. What amazed me was the convenient [...]

The problem with job seeking seniors is, most of the time, they had been out of the playing field far too long that they don’t know how to play the game anymore! Similar to dating, times have changed. Those which worked before such as pickup lines and dining out may no longer be applicable today and may even cost you your chance of getting the job you want. Before you [...]

Let’s face it, sometimes it gets really frustrating at work especially if your career has already become a routine for you. Or perhaps you lost interest and would rather do something else. However, we all know that is not easy to just drop everything, pack your bags and leave since most of us are bound by 101 financial reasons. Nonetheless, not having enough motivation at work does not always mean [...]

Oftentimes, although we fail to acknowledge, our workplace becomes the very source of stress. For seniors, this spells catastrophe since your workplace should be one of the few places where you seek solace and refuge. This should be the place where you get creative and put together ideas, not something that represents chaos and depression. Mind you, it happens—even to the most workaholic person I know of. Ever heard of [...]

I have always believed that one of the biggest factors contributing to a senior’s stressful life must come from work. Whether it’s working with difficult boss or maintaining a near-impossible time table and indeed, working with difficult coworkers, it can all affect a senior’s positive disposition one way or another. As fiercely suggested, seniors must try to slow down and enjoy life as it will certainly do them significant amount [...]

Don’t you just love being the guy who knows everyone by first name? Or if somebody just needs to talk to someone, you’ll be the first one they will ever contact to get this someone’s attention?.. Well, I say, that’s one of the perks that comes with living in this world for such a long time! Seniors who have been in the work force for so many years are indeed [...]

Juggling work and family can be hard and indeed it can take toll even to the strongest of the human race. Unfortunately, it is a situation which you don’t have much of a choice. For someone younger, let say 30-something adults, work means career while family would mean spouse and kids. However, for older adults it would mean work as a means of existence and family, being his or her [...]

Now that you have finally decided to take the next step on expanding your business, you now have to weigh your pros and cons carefully, so that you start this new business journey on fairly stable footing. By now, you probably know—and heard—the beauty of online selling, and how a business owner can benefit from it.
