Royce Shook · One of my friend's wife died about two years ago. For about a year he stayed to himself but he slowly started to reach out and he started dating. As a senior, this can be just as exciting and fulfilling as it is at any other age. However, there are some unique challenges and cons ...
Act your Age!
Royce Shook · When you want a child to be more mature, you commonly say, “Act your age.” This phrase gets a lot of use even for adults, probably mostly for middle-aged men who lapse into immature behaviour from time to time. But there is a truth behind that little phrase. · For each phase of o ...

What Boomers want in retirement 2

Planing to retire? Do not focus on money
