Deal of the Day
It’s an oldie but goodie. Denny’s might have the most well-known senior menu in America, and for good reason. Grand Slam breakfasts, Moons Over My Hammy, and loaded Omelettes are just some of the items you can typically get for under $10. Perfect for a simple weekend breakfast!

9 Benefits Boomer Women Can Find In An Encore Career
For many elder boomers, like me, the outdated model of retirement isn’t a good fit today. We’re healthier and living longer than prior generations.
Most of us don’t want to just sit in a porch rocking chair gazing at the sunset, play golf continuously, eat boring lunches at the Senior Center, or live like we’re on vacation every single day. We want to remain relevant, with meaning and purpose in our later life as we continue to learn and grow.
10 Best Cities to Retire in Arizona in 2024
If retirement means getting away from cold weather forever, Arizona is your state. Although the summers are sweltering, the winters are mild in most areas, giving you plenty of comfortable days.
The best places to retire in Arizona have access to attractions and plenty of activities for older adults. Your Social Security earnings won’t be taxed, but other forms of retirement income will. When combined with a higher-than-average sales tax, you may find the state’s tax-friendliness lacking. But the cost of living is lower than other states, making up for it.
