\n\u201cWho are you calling old?\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re only as old as you think you\u00a0are!\u201d These are old-aging adages we\u2019ve all heard from time to
\ntime. As you get older and you find the birthdays starting to roll by,\u00a0keep in mind that aging, with your life experiences and
\naccumulated knowledge, is what makes you, you!<\/p>\n

\nWhen we were kids back in the 50s and 60s and we met an older\u00a0person in their 60s we thought \u201cMan, that person is older than\u00a0dirt\u201d! But things have changed since we were kids. Currently, folks\u00a0in their 60s are now like folks in their 40s used to be and it\u2019s a fact\u00a0that we are all living longer. Current average age life expectancy in\u00a0the USA is now in the mid-80s. And you girls are living longer\u00a0than us boys.\u00a0Some very successful folks were just getting famous or successful\u00a0in their later years. Take Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried\u00a0Chicken fame. He opened his first store when he was 65! There\u00a0are over 6 million Americans still working in jobs past the age of\u00a065 and many of them have no intention of quitting anytime soon.
\nSome feel they still have to work, while others simply like what\u00a0they do and see no reason to stop.\u00a0Think you\u2019re not old? Well, ask yourself a few questions<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
– When is the last time you lay on the floor to watch TV?<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
\u2013Those\u00a0old style clothes you just could not bear to toss out? Well, look\u00a0what\u2019s back in style!<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
\u2013Do you and your teeth still sleep together?<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
-You know all the answers but there\u2019s nobody to ask the questions.<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
\u2013Are you starting to look like your driver\u2019s license picture? Is\u00a0your brain still making deals but your body can\u2019t fulfill them?<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
\u2013You look for your glasses for half an hour only to find them on top\u00a0of your head? \u2013You walk into a room to do something and can\u2019t\u00a0remember why?<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]<\/p>\n
\u2013And my favorite\u2026\u2026Grey hair is God\u2019s way of\u00a0saying start wrapping things up!<\/p>\n

\nAs we age and gain knowledge we have a tendency to have the\u00a0ability to chill out and reason through something that 20 to 30
\nyears ago would have caused a panic. More importantly, your\u00a0accumulated knowledge is something that has taken you a
\nlifetime to gather and your special knowledge is what makes\u00a0you, you!<\/p>\n
[spacer height=”05px”]
\nNeed some accumulated knowledge in other areas of\u00a0expertise? Do you need help with retirement financial
\nplanning, Medicare selection, Powers of Attorney for\u00a0health and financial, health care directives, wills, trust or\u00a0other retirement services? Come make use of our\u00a0accumulated knowledge! We\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n
