My husband, Randy, and I must make a difficult choice. Now that we are both retired and living on a fixed income, we have to choose between taking a trip to see my children who are moving to Scottsdale or replacing the flooring in our home. We have the savings to do one or the other, but not both right now.

Back in January I decided to make and keep to a budget. During my working career I never really worried much about money. I spent, saved in my 401K, helped put two kids through college and always seemed to have enough. I wasn’t a big-time spender, but I surely knew my way around a department store and a hair salon. Within six months

You can easily save 20% - 50% on your utilities. You can and should do this if you are eligible. We all are aware of the current economic crisis, and its effects on our community. What we are not always aware of are some of the ”little” things we can do to ease our pain through that crisis. Recently, I heard that my utility, PG&E

The last three weeks have been a technology nightmare. The kitchen television needed to be replaced, my husband’s pride and joy big screen TV in the living room needed to be repaired, our son’s printer needed to be replaced and his computer was on the fritz requiring technical support (for a fee). I kept waiting for something else to go wrong! This is a scary situation when you are retired and living on a fixed income. Although we started budgeting for expenses at the beginning of the year, how can you

You read that right. You can and should do this if you are eligible. We all are aware of the current economic crisis. It hits far too many members of our community. What we are not always aware of are some of the”little” things we can do to ease our pain through that crisis. Recently, I heard that my

Last Wednesday was an eye-opener for me. I went out for lunch with four friends all of whom are now retired. It was wonderful. We eased into conversation as if we had all been together on a regular basis instead of working full time jobs and only seeing each other intermittently.
