If you Google the words “email safety”, notice that there are two age groups often warned about it: kids and seniors. It is because the risk of these groups getting abused over emails is quite rampant. Kids are usually curious beings and almost always curiosity clouds better judgment while seniors are usually trusting and, well, curious beings too so the fate they share is pretty much the same as always.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Debunking myths about senior workers is quite hard since it comes with a little bit of discrimination on the side. You can’t really blame a 30-year old hiring manager to be doubtful of their senior applicants as it is already forged in their minds since childhood that older people should be treated delicately and they really couldn’t do what younger people can do which leaves many seniors jobless and unfortunately [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Seniors need to be wise about spending their retirement money. It doesn’t mean that upon retirement, you are entitled to spend everything your nest egg holds—that might have worked years ago but certainly not now and not in the near future either. It seems that the best thing to do now is to find ways to “supplement” your retirement fund so you can live comfortably by it. Here are some [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
