Retirement The Golden Years. You Are Ready To Become A Retiree, Now What?
Let's take a quick test to see if you’re the right age to retire.
Do you remember...
Margarine that you had to add a color packet to so it would look like butter?
Television stations going off air at 11pm and then the test pattern appeared?
Nylon hose that had seams?
Automobiles that didn’t have seatbelts installed in them?
Bomb shelters, air raid shelters, and crawling under your desk with your yellow plastic Civil Defense hard hat in case of a nuclear attack?
Pedal pushers, pocket protectors, ducktails, Hula Hoops, Slinkies, Tiddlywinks, Dippity Doo, Butch wax, Penny Loafers, baby moon hubcaps, slide rules and 10:30 curfews?
Sandwiches wrapped in wax paper?
Movie stars
Like John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe,Cary Grant, Janet Leigh, Shirley Temple Black, Clint Eastwood, Annette Funicello, Robert Redford, and all the other stars that we loved.
Television programs
Like I love Lucy,The Honeymooners, Leave it to Beaver, Queen for a Day, The Lone Ranger with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Trigger, Buttermilk and Bullet
Our Favorite Singers
Elvis, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Patsy Cline,The Lennon Sisters, Bobby Vinton, Brenda Lee and Neal Sedaka?
If any of these things brings a smile to your face then you have reached the age where you can retire. Welcome to the Golden Years!
As great as that sounds, there are a lot of things we must face. Since you reached the age of 50 you have been receiving information on AARP and other programs all aimed at the senior citizens. Six months prior to turning 65 you will begin receiving information regarding Medicare supplemental
insurance, electric scooters, wheel chairs and filing for Social Security benefits. Your name, age, and address all magically appear on mailing lists and the junk mail begins.
We wanted to create this index section to actually help you with information that will be useful to you. We will be adding new articles on a regular basis so bookmark this page and visit it often.
