Retiree Quality of Life

Hi Folks,

Are you enjoying your senior years? Are you making the most of your retirement? If not, why not?

Many folks don”t give a lot of creative though to their senior years, they just joke about getting older or worse, worry about it. I personally believe you should give as much thought and planning to your senior years as you did to planning your early life and career, maybe more.

Think about it and see if you don’t agree with me and today’s author.

Enjoy Your Retirement

Hi Folks,

If you have read my other retirement blog, www.woodysretirementblog.com, you may have noticed that I have published several of Susan Kersley’s articles on that site.  Although I have thousands of writers and tens of thousands of articles to choose from (and I read a bunch every day) certain writers seem to relate to seniors more than others.  And that describes Susan Kersley. I like this Brit’s style and her advice to us seniors.

I am not going to be maintaining  Woody’s Retirement Blog any longer and I may move some of my favorite posts from that site over to this one. Meanwhile if you would like to read more of Susan’s articles I have provided links at the bottom of this page. Keep them coming Susan.

Hi Folks,

Today’s article by Shelley Riutta is not directed specifically to retirees but it should be!

Many seniors and retirees do not live cheerful, joy filed lives. What a shame. Seniors have such an important part to play in this world yet many miss their mark because of a poor attitude and a cheerless life. 

I wish every senior, retired or not, could read this article.
