Retirement – The Downside and the Upside
Hi Folks,
I can tell you from experience that retirement isn’t always what it’s cut out to be.
Some days it’s great being retired. Other days we wonder what the heck we’re doing and what we’re supposed to be doing. The dynamics of aging and retirement have changed so much over the past few years that it’s difficult getting our arms around being a senior. Shoot, we can’t even agree on when “senior” begins! 65? I don’t think so.

An Introduction To The World Of Dating For Seniors
Hi Folks,
There are two common misconceptions about dating that society has held for so many years that they have virtually merged into unwritten rules. The first is that dating is for the younger generations only, and the second is that seniors are not only too old for it but they are past it. Seniors have an unjustified reputation for being set in their ways and thus it is frowned upon for them to accept somebody new into their lives, let alone into their beds! However, the Internet and more liberal attitudes are starting to change the perspective of society as a whole. There is a long way to go until the world of senior dating is fully accepted but everyone should have the choice. The question is, to date or not to date?

Volunteering: Helping others
Hi Retirees,
As I have mentioned before in these pages, most of my retired friends live very busy, active lives. And most are in relatively good health. But I have some retired friends that are not living such busy lives and I have had some of them to tell me that if they only felt better they would become more involved in other things.
Perhaps that’s true, but on the other hand I wonder that if they would get involved in “other things” they wouldn’t feel better.

Woody’s Retirement Blog
Hi Folks,
I haven’t been posting to this blog recently but have been concentrating on my “Retirement on a Budget” blog and working on some information sites. But now I notice that the folks that come to Retirement on a Budget.com are primarly interested in the financial side of retirement and rarely click on all the good and positive items that are also available on that site. But the folks that visit Woody’s Retirement Blog (even though I haven’t been adding new items lately) are reading the positive items archived there and then clicking on over to Retirement on a Budget and reading the financial articles.
