Retirement Advice
Hi Folks,
I hope today’s article isn’t a ”let down” for some of you. I’m sure Clement Castillo did not intended his article to be discouraging but rather to serve as a warning to both pre-retirement folks as well as to those who have already retired.
The retirement highway is not to be taken for granted, it is full of potholes and littered with all sorts of surprises. Be aware.

Myths About the Aging Brain and Memory Loss
Hi Folks,
Most of my friends are seniors which only stands to reason since I’m also a senior and retired.
It’s only natural that I’m around a lot of seniors every day so I make it a point of listening closely to what they talk about. And I can tell you that during any conversation that lasts more than just a few minutes someone will make a comment about memory loss. Senior moments and forgetfulness seems to be a chief concern with my senior friends. More than any other health concern.
And this brings me to the subject of today’s article: Myths about the aging brain and memory loss.

Self Defense Products For Seniors
Hi Folks,
It has been a while since we talked about self defense for seniors. So let’s revisit this topic again.
Every day you can read in your local paper about someone getting mugged and robbed and more times than not that person is a senior citizen.
Seniors are everwhere: biking, shopping, walking along trails, in parks, sidewalks, and parking lots. There are a lot more active seniors these days, out and about, visible for the baddies to see and target. And of course seniors are perceived as easy targets.

Tips for a Healthy Retirement
Hi Folks,
One of the foundation stones for a happy retirement is good health. And, as we all know, this means getting regular exercise, adeqauate rest, and eating right.
As we age our bodies do not process certain foods as well as they once did. Meaning we need to cut back on some foods which were once important to our good health and increase our intake of other foods that contain nutrients that we need more of.

A Clutter Free Retirement
Hi Folks,
Boy do I have a great article for you today! It’s about clutter.
Clutter. When I think of clutter I usually think of all the things I have stored in my garage and around the house that I don’t need and never use any more. Why in the world do I hold on to that stuff?
However I rarely equate clutter with non-physical things. Mental clutter, if you will. But truth be known our non-physical clutter may be worse than our physical clutter. Let’s see what you think.

The 4% Retirement Withdrawal Rule
Hi Folks,
When I was in my early 60s I began considering retirement. I invested in some very good retirement planning books and began searching the Internet for all the information about retirement I could find.
One piece of advice I consistently ran across was this: never withdraw more than 4% of your retirement savings in any one year. I calculated what 4% of my retirement savings would be and learned that I simply did not have enough to retire on.
