The Blog
From caregiver education to navigating life transitions and retirement, our blog has a wealth of information to help you move forward and revitalize your life.
What the heck is the Age Tech industry?
Last week, I interviewed Patrick Baker about the different ways in which our personal information (“the Holy Trinity”) can be used to scam us. Even though some of it can be accomplished through technology, there are also many opportunities to use technology to improve...
Scamming Their Way Into Your Wallet
“Scammers are getting more and more sophisticated as they use both technology and psychology to trap their victims”, Patrick Baker of Prime Life Tech tells me. Using what professionals call “social engineering”, scammers are looking to elicit a reactive emotional...
Make New Friends (But Keep The Old)
It’s important in retirement to maintain old friendships and cultivate new ones. Why? Friends help to keep us young, sharp, and current. They challenge us to keep our minds and bodies active and to try new things. If you’re reading this and thinking, “I have plenty of...
When All You Have Is Time
I’ve been talking a lot about the third pillar in the Edward Jones 2020 study, the Pillar of Purpose, as well as how to find your particular purpose over the last few weeks. If you haven’t read the two blogs linked above, I recommend setting aside 10 minutes to get...

Solving Social Isolation with Technology
Last week’s blog was pretty heavy but included a topic we need to be very open about in retirement planning - social isolation. While I don’t believe there is any ONE answer to the issue of the growing rate of social isolation in aging adults, I do believe that there...
The Threat of Isolation
A very real concern identified in the 2020 Edward Jones and Age Waver study, along with the 2021 update, is the fear of isolation as we age. Nearly 47% of retirees worry about becoming more isolated as they grow older. I wasn’t surprised to learn that at all with the...

This is the second in a series of posts about the Four Pillars of the New Retirement. I want to help you make 2022 the year you plan the retirement of your dreams. I’m sure that it comes as no surprise to you that family is where most retirees draw their “greatest...
