I Don't Feel Like a Senior

I think growing up that I thought the Seniors were super old people. As I am alomost 60, I wonder whether people look at me as being a senior. I still feel that I have a lot to offer and will find futher purpose as I head into retirement. This book gave me tips about staying independent, keep my mind active and developing a learning plan. Lastly, to handle money wisely - all of these tips are important at any age.

Supportive and Helpful While Keeping it Simple

There are many life skills books out there for kids and teens, or people with specific issues like addiction or ADHD, but this is the first one I’ve seen specifically for seniors. It was nice to see a book aimed at those who have earned their position in society but still need a little help sometimes. I am in my 50s, just starting to think about retirement and beyond, and I have recently started a side hustle. This book offers excellent advice in both areas, presented in an organized and easy-to-follow manner. Basic needs like money, food, and shelter can become complicated quickly, and this book breaks it all down without being condescending. I also enjoyed the bonus chapters on emergencies and preparing for the future, things that all of us should take into consideration. I shared this book with a neighbor of mine who is in her 60s, and she loved it!
