874 Continue Dreaming

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/03/24

Maybe retirement is the time to become a magician. Or whatever else you dreamed of when you were a child. Or whatever you dream about now that you are retired. I'll bet with just a few years of practice most of us could learn to pull rabbits out of hats.

873 Pick A Fight

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/03/17

"Picking a Fight" is not something our parents told us was a good thing to do. Perhaps we need to rethink this advice. Retirement might be the perfect time to look around and pick a fight with some bully.

872 Vacations

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/03/10

A good thing about vacations is that it shines a new light on the life we now live and the life we may want to lead. We can lay out plans, read travel logs, browse book stores and magazine racks, and have something to dream about when we take our afternoon nap.

871 How Much Is Enough

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/03/03

The bottom line remains firm. You just have to spend a bit less than you earn. You might be surprised by how much pleasure can come from a walk in the woods compared to a cruise in the Aegean.

870 When Should I Retire

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/02/25

How great are your needs? Do they expand with every paycheck or salary raise? Were we kidding ourselves about how much we loved our job and really were working for the money? I mean if we quit working and receiving a check do you suppose we would still go in every day and help out for free? We needed to answer all of those questions.

869 Winter Road Trip

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/02/18

I feel like I must relate a few lessons learned on this winter trip. They might help you think about ramifications if you may someday consider taking off during the cold season.

868 Deciding to be Happy

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/02/11

"I Like Being Old", is the title of a book I recently came across. It is written by k. Eileen Allen. She is a 90 year old woman who is blind. She says she likes being old and I believe her.

867 FOMO

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/02/04

Some of us want to know what is around the bend. We want to move on. Perhaps it is just a simple case of the grass always being greener; the longing for that which we don’t have. It might pertain to our geographical location or our tasks or work at hand.

866 Take a Risk

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/01/28

Nietzsche advised us to step out on the edge and take a chance. He urged us to do something different with our lives. "We need to break ourselves in two," he said. And then create an even greater self.

865 No One Listens

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/01/21

I recently read of a Barbie Doll who is connected to the Internet via wi-fi. It hears your voice and responds similar to Seri but it remembers everything and can thus personalize each response instantly. Imagine something similar to this in the hands of an isolated senior? A new best friend and listener may be as near as Best Buy.

864 Looking Forward - Looking Backward

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/01/14

When retired we're allowed more time to choose different paths; to explore new roads. All we have to do is make up our mind as to which direction we want to go. We don't want to just sit in the middle of the highway and let life wiz on by.

863 Weather

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/01/07

"You never want to let the weather dictate what you do with your life". That is a line I used to recite to the kids whenever we wanted to go hiking, biking, or skiing.

862 Aging & Expectations

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/12/31

It only seems reasonable that we should indeed do some preparation for a period of perhaps 30 or 40 years of living. We need to develop some expectations. I’m not sure they need to be "Great Expectations", but at least some might be wise.

861 Keeping Busy Plan (KBP)

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/12/24

"In my early 40s I decided to develop a spreadsheet of activities and interests I had (or was interested in learning) that would keep me physically fit, keep my brain active and provide me with the much needed social connections."

860 Changing Our Ways

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/12/17

Sometimes we wish we could change. Change our life. Change our habits. But change just doesn't come easy for some of us. These stories illustrate the power of habits and any attempt to change them.

859 Elders & Environment

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/12/10

Our experiences in life can become a treasure chest from which we can share. We can keep alive the bond between Elders, wisdom and nature.

858 Screen Apnea

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/12/03

Ever had a breathing problem? I have. Now I find that a new cause of the problem may lie with electronic screens: phones, tablets, television, or gaming screens of any sort.

857 Chop Wood, Carry Water

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/11/26

"As I lie idly drifting on Walden Pond I cease to think and begin to be". When does that happen? Trouble is; we wake up. We look at the front page of the paper, we talk to our kids or our grandchildren, we know that even though our days might be numbered for people we care about, life goes on.

856 Who Made That Rule

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/11/19

"Who made the rule, anyway?" We retired folks need to ask that question about a lot of things. We have a lifetime of experiences to guide us in decision making.

855 Flat Earthers

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2023/11/12

Staying informed isn't easy. Our forefathers had to rely on word of mouth or the slim pamphlet that might circulate among the masses at the speed of a slow horse. Today it’s instantaneous. Electronics flash news across the screen as it is happening.
