Great Business Ideas For Your 401K

Just because you are now retired, it does not mean that you are no longer relevant or that the world has now passed you by, on the contrary. In fact, my opinion is that retirement is not the end of anything really, but the beginning of a new chapter that is filled with nothing but opportunity. During these years we have more time in our lives and more money with which to do what we want. Personally, I always had dreams of starting a business but work always seemed to get in the way, now that it can’t any more,…

Sports Which The Older Generation Can Still Get a Kick Out Of

Whether we like it or not, as we age, we slow down a little bit, our joints get stiffer and flexibility isn’t, let’s say, our strong point.

The Benefit of Road Trips As a Retiree

There are two ways to approach old age, the first is the acceptance that you have lived your life, achieved whatever you have achieved and now you can relax in your golden years before the time comes to meet your maker. The second and alternative option to this mindset, is to realize that this is the part of your life where you have little responsibility, cash on the hip and nothing but time with which you can enjoy this next chapter of your life.
