Digital Magazine and Newspaper Subscriptions: A Smarter Way to Stay Informed and Inspired
In today’s fast-paced, paper-light world, more and more readers are turning to digital magazine and newspaper subscriptions to stay connected, informed, and entertained. Whether you’re a longtime lover of the Sunday paper or someone who always has a magazine on hand for a little inspiration, digital access offers a fresh, flexible way to enjoy your favorites without the clutter (or the trip to the mailbox).
One of the biggest benefits of digital subscriptions is convenience. With just a smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can flip through glossy magazines, catch up on daily news, or dive into niche topics from virtually anywhere. Many platforms, like Apple News+, Libby (through your local library), and individual publisher apps, offer access to hundreds of magazines and newspapers under a single login. That means you can read The New York Times, Better Homes & Gardens, National Geographic, and even People—all without stacking a single issue on your coffee table.
Seniors in particular may enjoy the customizable features of digital reading. Font sizes can be adjusted for easier reading, articles can be bookmarked to revisit later, and audio options allow you to listen to stories read aloud while you go about your day. It’s an easy, accessible way to keep your mind active, stay up to date on current events, and enjoy lifelong interests in health, travel, cooking, and beyond.
Digital subscriptions also tend to be more affordable—and environmentally friendly. Many platforms offer bundled deals or library partnerships that bring your costs way down, while reducing the paper and waste that come with traditional print. Plus, no more worrying about missed deliveries or waterlogged newspapers on rainy mornings!
Whether you’re curious about what’s happening in the world, looking to try a new recipe, or just want something engaging to enjoy with your morning coffee, digital magazines and newspapers are a modern solution that still delivers the charm and content you love.
If you haven’t tried it yet, ask your local librarian, check out a digital bundle through your phone provider, or explore a free trial from a favorite magazine. You might just find your new favorite way to read.
📰 How Do You Read Your News and Magazines These Days? |
Yesterday’s Poll Results: How often do you rebalance your investment portfolio?
Turns out, many of us prefer a hands-off approach when it comes to investing! With 44% of voters saying they let a financial advisor or robo-advisor handle it, it’s clear that trusting the pros (or the algorithms) is a popular strategy. Meanwhile, 18.6% are on top of things with regular rebalancing at least once a year, while 14.7% check in occasionally when the mood strikes. Interestingly, 16.4% admitted they’ve never rebalanced—and are now wondering if they should (don’t worry, we’ve all been there). And a curious 6.2% chimed in with their own unique take under "Other."
Smart money habits come in all forms—and it’s never too late to start fine-tuning your financial routine!
TOP COMMENTS
“We put my wife's pension and inherited money into Edward Jones, we draw out money if needed and a monthly payment from the pension, otherwise they take care of it.”
“I have no Investment Portfolio to Rebalance. I get a monthly Social Security Check that I live on and help my granddaughter out by paying her car and insurance payments.”
“Best thing we did was to hire a financial advisor. They have done well.”
Everyone Has a Story: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Start Writing Yours
You don’t need to be a novelist to start writing stories—just a little curiosity, a few memories, and maybe a good pen. This delightful piece from Sixty & Me invites readers to discover (or rediscover!) the joy of storytelling later in life. Whether it’s a childhood memory, a fictional adventure, or a letter to your younger self, writing can be a playful, healing, and surprisingly fun habit. Think of it as a new chapter—one that’s all yours to create.

Slang Phrase of the Day
Phrase: I can’t even
Meaning: This phrase is used when someone is so overwhelmed—by emotion, humor, cuteness, or disbelief—that they can't finish their thought. It's usually playful and dramatic, like saying, “This is just too much!”
In a sentence: “When Doris saw her grandson’s dance moves at the family BBQ, she clutched her lemonade and laughed, ‘I can’t even—he’s got more sass than I did in the '70s!’”
