Quick Tips On Making Your Retirement Fun!

Recreation:
It's possible to "play your way to better health." The best exercises are those that are rhythmic, continuous and build you up to a steady level of exertion. Unfortunately, many games are not very good exercise because they are a series of starts and stops. Still, you can better exercise and enjoy your activities more if you walk instead of ride between golf shots, and switch from tennis singles (which is a series of starts and stops) to doubles, which is more a leisurely and sociable game and actually gives you better exercise. Cycling, swimming and skiing can all give you the exercise you need, too.

Education:
Someone once said, "It's a shame to waste education on the young." We have many practical reasons for continuing learning. First, the mind can't stagnate since it either moves forward or backward. Then, in this changing world, we need up-to-the-minute information to make or save money, participate in community affairs, find suitable housing, hobbies, activities.

It's never too late to learn. The one organ we can depend upon to last us into old age is the brain. Even at age 80 we can learn at the speed of a 13-year-old but only if we really want to. And we've got the wisdom, experience and time to learn and to apply what we learn for personal and practical reasons. This is the reason we keep saying that All Retirees Are Authorities and can use their knowledge to grow, help others and profit at the same time.

Shopping:
You really can spend money and save money at the same time. Almost every community has at least one drug store, clothing store, department store, even auto parts store, that offers discounts to senior citizens. Once again, all you have to do is ask. Remember your neighborhood merchants are really the biggest discounters you'll find. In fact, many metropolitan areas have associations or clubs of area merchants who offer senior discounts. Many cities have programs and towns have individual businessmen who'll be happy to have your business and offer you a special deal in return. So don't forget to ask for the Senior Discount!
