Hi Folks,
As I have mentioned in previous posts, more people arrive at this website with the search term “living only on Social Security” than any other search term. People are looking for ways to live on their Social Security check.
If you are one of these folks I can tell you that, in my opinion, unless you make some drastic lifestyle changes, go back to work, find a part time job, or start your own business, you’re not going to be able to live on Social Security alone!

Hi Folks,
John Steely, today’s contributing author, doesn’t have a big surprise in store for many of us retirees but his article will confirm our suspicions that it doesn’t cost less to live in retirement.
And it will confirm our need to learn to better manage our money.

Hi Folks,
Well, all the young people will be headed back to school in a few days leaving more space on the highways for us older folks 
. Yippee. I just love to travel after the kids have gone back to school. It’s still warm, the tourist places are still open, and it’s not crowded.
Which brings up a question - have you saved enough money for a late summer trip?

Hi Folks,
I have a great article for you today, “Retirement Activities on a Budget”. It’s “right up our alley” for this blog.
There are so many wonderful things to do that cost very little or nothing. Yet many times we get so caught up in thinking that we can’t do anything because we don’t have the money that we miss out on a really fulfilling life. Don’t let that happen to you.
Happy retirement,

Hi Folks,
We just returned from a great trip to Boone, NC, with my senior’s group.
We toured Samaritans Purse, http://www.samaritanspurse.org/, ate a very special meal at Dan’l Boone Inn, http://www.danlbooneinn.com/, (a real feast served country style), and took in one of the country’s finest outdoor dramas, Horne In The West. We also visited the original Mast General Store, http://www.mastgeneralstore.com/valle_crucis.cfm, (established in 1883) in Valle Crucis, NC.
For a wonderful and inexpensive vacation (especially if you travel with a group) I recommend Boone, NC and North Carolina’s High Country.
