Boost Your Income
There are many aspects of retirement to look forward to:
the travel, the free time and fewer responsibilities, to name a few. But generally speaking, there is also less money coming in.
That leaves many seniors to carefully plan
their spending to avoid falling short on the
monthly amount they need for groceries,
medication and entertainment.
If savings, pensions and Social Security
aren’t enough for you to live comfortably,
you have many options to set yourself up
for a brighter inancial future. One idea is to
consider delaying your retirement until you
stow away a nice nest egg or put more into
your high-growth savings plan. Check with
your local Social Security oice to see what
your payment structure will look like if you
wait a few years to draw it.
Below are some other tips for boosting
your income during your golden years.
Go Back to Work Part-Time
If you’re like many newly retired Americans,
it may feel strange waking up with no
employment responsibilities. Once you settle
into a routine of relaxation, you might still feel
the pull to become involved with something
that keeps you busy throughout the day.
Part-time employment can help you ofset
extra expenses and give you the satisfaction
of contributing to the workforce. You may ind
that organizations are looking for someone
just like you, especially if you’re looking to
apply your background and career expertise
to help them achieve their goals.
Check in with your local career advisory
irm to see what is available in your area. Be
ready to describe what your ideal role looks
like and how many hours per week you would
like to work.
Home EquityIf you own your home, you may be sitting
on an excellent source of extra income. A
home equity loan, line of credit or a reverse
mortgage are all options to consider that
can give you a lump sum of money with a
ixed repayment schedule, depending on the
option you choose.
These types of inancial tools are there to
help you free up extra money for your savings
or home improvement projects.
Before signing the dotted line on any of
the above options, check in with Federal Trade
Commission or meet with a government-
approved organization to make sure you’re
entering a legitimate agreement.
The U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development approves the oicial
booklet, titled “Use Your Home to Stay at
Home.” The guide can navigate you through
all the options.

L I V I NG 55 + | PLANNING
Smart Financial Planning
It’s never too late to build a strong inancial plan. Even if you’ve already got a good
handle on your inancial future, you may ind
the need to reine their plan as life events
and medical issues arise.
By working closely with a certiied inancial
planner, you can establish a strong working
relationship that is focused on protecting and
growing your assets during your retirement
age. This means more money on hand for
you and a healthier amount of assets for your
family members.
Common Mistakes One of the most fundamental mistakes
senior citizens can make in regards to money
is not having a comprehensive plan. Urgent
needs and unforeseen events can throw
anyone for a inancial loop if there isn’t a
strong plan in place.
Working closely with a inancial advisor
or trusted family member to establish and
carry out your plan can make the diference
between saving enough money and running
short on funds later in life.
Make sure while building your plan that
you prioritize your expenses and get educated
on what a strong plan is supposed to look like.
Consider all options at your disposal, and
remember to research any changes to your
portfolio or stock plan before you follow
through with them.
he Tough Questions
Before it’s possible to make a customized,
solid inancial plan, you have to ask yourself
some tough questions. They include:
• What do I want to do and spend in retirement?
• Where do I want to live, and who do I want to spend time with?
• Will I continue working part-time or will outside income stop?
• How do I see myself supporting family members in the future?
• What kinds of healthcare options do I
want for myself down the road?
Go over your answers with your inancial
advisor or family member to help drive the
creation of your inancial plan.
Get OrganizedBy the time you retire, you may have
numerous retirement accounts, savings plans
and mutual funds. It is important to know
where these accounts are held and
how to get them into one consolidated
portfolio.
A inancial advisor can help you do
this to make sure your investment plan is
coordinated.
Doing so also can help you stay more on
top of market changes that can impact the
amount of money in your reserves.
This can also make it easier for you to track
your savings and make any adjustments as
you go along.

International Travel Tips
One of the most exciting parts of retirement is realizing
you have the time you’ve always wanted for things like international travel.
Trading in the time clock for a light
schedule is a liberating experience — one that
helps you get more freedom, spontaneity and
enjoyment out of life.
But before you book your light or pack
your bags, keep in mind that preparation is
key to any successful trip. From the logistics
of the light to ensuring you bring along
any essential medications during your stay,
there are many things to consider during the
planning phase.
Follow our tips below to optimize your
travel experience.
Get help: Have you ever used a senior-
focused travel agent before? If not, you may
consider one for planning your next trip.
Check in with your local travel agency to see if
they specialize in senior citizen trips. They may
have packages available that it your travel
objectives.
Remember your medication: If there are
certain medications you need every day, it is
critical that you remember to pack extra. Also,
check in to the medical facilities available in
the country you’re planning to visit. It’s never
a bad thing to be prepared.
Get a checkup: Before leaving the
United States, schedule an appointment
with your physician to go over any medical
recommendations he has. This can include
getting vaccinations required for areas you
plan to visit.
Pack wisely: When packing your clothes,
bring along appropriate options for the
climate of the country you’re visiting. Even a
tropical destination can have a cold snap, so
it’s important to be prepared with the proper
attire.
Ready for the long light: International
lights are lengthy, depending on how far
you’re traveling. Make sure your on-board bag
contains everything that you might require
during the duration of the light. Items such as
medication, books and personal identiication
are key.

Be a Healthy Role Model
Vibrant, health-focused seniors can be strong role models to the young
people in their lives.
Teaching life lessons and giving advice can go
a long way in strengthening your relationships
with grandchildren, students and the kids in the
neighborhood.
But nothing is more important than the eating,
drinking and exercise decisions you make in front
of the youth around you. Making healthy decisions
is not diicult, especially when you consider how
much inluence your actions have on the people
looking up to you.
With a little planning and some common sense,
you can make sure your dietary choices give you
the essential vitamins and minerals needed to fuel
your body in a healthy way.
For physical activity, a little efort goes a long
way in showing youth how remaining active can
reap positive beneits.
Staying committed to these healthy choices can
help keep those around you in great shape, too.
Save the Snacks
You know the stereotype. At grandma and
grandpa’s house, vegetables are out and candy
is in. “Spoil them and send them home!,” the old
saying goes. But if you’re looking to make a positive
efect on the eating habits of your grandchildren,
that adage isn’t going to work.
Saving desserts and candy for special occasions
will help youngsters understand your expectations.
Ofer plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables — and
do so in a fun way. Place carrots, celery and raisins in
the form of a funny face on the plate or encourage
your grandchildren to make shapes of their own.
Anything to make them associate positivity and fun
with healthy eating is a plus.
Join in with Games When it comes to physical activity, you can set
a positive example by involving yourself with your
grandchildren’s games and sports. Ofer to play
catch in the backyard or learn a new sport. You can
be a great role model while also getting in a cardio
workout along the way.
The beneits of regular physical activity are
both immediate and long lasting. Make an impact
on the children around you by showing them how
exercise makes you feel better, healthier and ready
to take on the day.

L I V I NG 55 + | GOLF
Tips for Senior Golfers
Hitting from the senior tees may not automatically bring more birdies and
lower scores.
If you’re used to playing from a certain distance
on your hometown course, moving to the closer tee
box may throw of your strategy.
Golfers over 50 struggle with a lot of the same
issues that golfers under 50 do, most notably
consistency. Golf is a game of precision and
accuracy. More than any other sport, it also is a test
of your mental fortitude and concentration.
Striking your ball the same way on every swing
is a great place to start. This takes many swings over
the course of your practice sessions to really hone in
on your strengths. Using the correct mechanics on
driving, long irons, chipping and putting takes time,
but once you start streamlining your swing, you’ll
be knocking strokes of your score in no time.
Lower BodyThe pro at your local golf course will use the
phrase “Quiet your legs.” That means that regardless
of how strong the rest of your swing is, your legs can
have a negative efect if you move them too much.
Keep control over your legs by focusing on the
lower half of your body during your swing. Zone in
to how your legs move and watch how they guide
your ball. Always bend your knees slightly before
and during a swing, and keep them shoulder width
apart.
If you’re looking for a little extra power in your
swing, rotate the toes of your back foot 45 degrees
and dig in during your backswing. This can add a few
extra yards without compromising your accuracy.
Head and Spine Movement
If you’re dealing with any loss of lexibility
or range of motion, this can play a major role in
weakening your golf swing. Always remember
to stretch as much as possible – for at least 20
minutes – before starting your round of golf. This
can help loosen up your muscles and improve your
performance.
Bad posture can have a similar impact on your
game. Keep your body in a consistent position
while you swing your club. Try to keep your swing
as rotational as possible instead of lifting up or
twisting your body. These bad swing habits can lead
to errant shots.
L I V I NG 55 + | VOLUNTEER
hree Reasons You Should Be Volunteering
Senior citizens across the country are taking advantage of an activity that
can make them feel better physically and mentally, while also helping others achieve the same.
Volunteering is sweeping the nation
during a time when people need it the most.
Senior citizens are rejecting slow-paced
retirements and instead focusing on itching
the altruistic scratch that they haven’t
been able to get to until now. The free time
retirement afords can open doors you didn’t
know were possible — doors that bring you
closer to your community members and help
you learn more about what really counts in
life.
Bring Your Experience
Many retired seniors with seasoned
professional backgrounds are lending
their skill sets to make a diference in their
town or city. Do you have experience as a
business executive? Consider volunteering
your expertise to a local nonproit in need of
entrepreneurial direction.
Are you a retired accountant? Your
knowledge may be helpful to a community-
focused organization in need of expert
bookkeeping or inancial planning guidance.
The list goes on. Whatever your specialty,
there is likely a nonproit in your neck of the
woods that could beneit from your volunteer
services.
It’s in the Research Volunteerism isn’t just beneicial for those
in need. Research shows that volunteers
beneit just as much from their eforts. Mental
and physical health has been proven to
improve in people who choose to volunteer.
The National Institute on Aging has
reported that participating in social leisure
activities and meaningful, productive
activities such as volunteering may lower the
risk of health problems in seniors, including
dementia, as well as improving longevity.
According to the Corporation for National
and Community Service, those who volunteer
experience greater life satisfaction, a sense of
purpose and accomplishment, more stress
resilience and lower rates of depression.
That’s because of the special relationships
and family-like bonds you can experience
while volunteering. Seniors are able to work
with people of all ages toward a common
goal, giving them strong feelings of self-worth
and conidence. These types of attributes are
key in helping seniors feel more in tune with
themselves and the world around them.

Become Foster Grandparents
Do you have a passion for working with disadvantaged
youth? Are you sot-hearted enough to make emotional connections with troubled teens but irm enough to give honest, straightforward life advice?
Through one national organization’s efort,
you can turn these strengths into a powerful
volunteering opportunity that could shape
young minds and lives forever.
What is the Foster Grandparent
Program? The Foster Grandparent Program
is a volunteer program funded by The
Corporation for National and Community
Service. Volunteers like you, ages 55 and
older, are role models, mentors and friends to
children with exceptional needs.
According to the CNCS, foster
grandparents serve from 15 to 40 hours per
week in locations including schools, hospitals,
juvenile correctional institutions, daycare
facilities or Head Start centers.
If you choose to volunteer your time,
you will receive pre-service orientation and
training, as well as supplemental accident and
liability insurance. Some volunteers who meet
certain income guidelines also receive a small
stipend.
What Will You Do? The majority of foster grandparents are
placed in school settings to assist teachers in
providing academic support. Both public and
alternative schools are on the program’s list,
as are schools inside Department of Juvenile
Services facilities.
Volunteers work individually and in
groups with their assigned youth, also taking
part in special activities of local groups and
community advocacy agencies. Activities you
may be involved with include food drives,
creating greeting cards, building gift bags for
disadvantaged children and simply spending
time building positive relationships with
young people.
More on the Program
The Department of Juvenile Services has
sponsored the program for more than 30
years. You will regularly be in contact with
your program manager, client driver and
other volunteers just like you.
Check out www.nationalservice.gov for
more information or check with your local
youth organizations to see if they are involved
in the foster grandparents program.
