Frugal Tips for a senior



Getting old is not an easy thing. When you stop working, all you have is the money you’ve saved and set aside for retirement and beyond. To make the best use of that money, here are some frugal tips for seniors to make their dollars work harder.

Living to see your golden years demands a position of honour. You have worked hard, raised your families and paid into society. Now, it is time to reap the benefits of a life well lived. Here are some tips to help seniors to enjoy life without necessarily penny pinching.

* Senior discounts – You see them in restaurants everywhere. Now that you are at the age when you can use them, take advantage of them all. If your family wants to eat breakfast out, ask them to choose a place that offers a senior discount. You may have to show your identification to receive it.

* Grocery shopping – If your local grocery store offers senior discounts on certain shopping days, wait until then to visit the store. Be sure to have your coupons ready so that you can save even more on your total food bill.

* Getting around town – You may drive, but gas can be so expensive nowadays. If you are going a short distance, let the city do the work. Check out senior discounts on bus fares. There is nothing wrong with parking your car and riding around the city another way. If you belong to a church and it has a van that picks up seniors on Sundays, sign up.

* Fun and recreation – Museums, art exhibits, movie theatres, exercise facilities and other venues offer senior discounts for admission tickets. When planning a weekend activity, look into these places. You can still do the things you like to do and spend less doing it. Don’t be afraid to ask if it is not clearly posted at the counter.

* Online resources – You are not alone; thousands of seniors are looking for ways to live well and on less in their golden years. Use online sites just for seniors to find local places to shop, exercise, hang out with others your own age, and get health needs met for a fraction of the cost. There are also forums to share ideas and make connections with others who are living frugally and to the fullest.

* Wardrobe – Shopping for clothing is also designed with seniors in mind. Some stores offer senior days when you can shop and receive a percentage off of your total purchase. Look for sales you can take advantage of to maximize your discount.

Discounts for seniors are one way that businesses can show their respect for your position in society. If you can find them, use them for car insurance, eating out, buying clothes, medication and entertainment.

Where is the "famous" European Transparency?

Read this article from New York Times to understand the meaning: Before a Bailout, E.C.B. Minutes Showed Doubts Over Keeping a Cyprus Bank Afloat By Landon Thomas Jr. October 17, 2014 6:32 am As the Cypriot economy reeled from the collapse of its second-largest bank in 2013, the European Central Bank faced a thorny question: Should it keep the institution, Cyprus Popular Bank, alive with short-term loans or pull the plug? By many financial measures, the bank was failing. Stung by a disastrous bet on Greek government bonds, Cyprus Popular Bank had been in trouble for the better part of 2012 and depositors were withdrawing their savings in ever larger numbers. It needed cash and fast. Under E.C.B. rules, troubled banks that can no longer raise funds on the open markets are allowed to borrow from their national central bank, which assumes responsibility for this so-called emergency liquidity assistance, or E.L.A. Still, strict rules govern this process. The bank in question mus

Frugality Does Not Have To Ruin Lifesty

  You may hear a lot of people talk about saving money and being frugal. But it has a negative connotation for some people. Just because you adopt the frugal lifestyle doesn’t mean that your life as you know it now will change. We can all tighten the belt and spend a little less for what we have. Let’s face it; if we have the money, we often don’t make an issue of paying full price when we don’t necessarily have to. This is a mindset. When you begin to live frugally, you are changing that mindset - not your lifestyle per se. Some people equate “frugal” with “cheap.” This is by no means the case. With “cheap” you get what you pay for, which is nothing. That is still wasting money. It’s the same as if you had paid full price. Frugal means searching for another way to do something or get a service that is of comparable quality but costs less. Get the best deals that you can on all things in every area of your life. There is nothing shameful or wrong about that. Compa
