50 is The New 65

Just when economic conditions are forcing millions of Americans to look for ways to save money, hundreds of companies are offering discounts to Baby Boomers starting at the age of 50. Discounts are available on goods and services from travel providers to universities.

1. Travel:

Many of us love to travel, even more so when our children are grown. In fact, adults over the age of 50 account for about 80% of all leisure travel. Just about every national hotel chain offers at least 10% off the room rate for guests over 50 or 55 years old. Be sure to ask for this extra discount when booking a room including at the Intercontinental, Fairmont, Holiday Inn and Best Western chains. Westin Hotels offer its biggest discount for customers over 60.

2. Rental Cars:
You can save even more money on travel expenses when you ask for a discount on rental cars. Every major company offers a discount for customers over 50 (Avis offers one for over 65). Be sure to request it when reserving a car.

3. Restaurants:
While at home or on a trip, everyone over 50 can find stores and restaurants that offer age related discounts. Many local shops including hardware stores will give discounts if you ask for them. National restaurant chains such as Pizza Hut, Bennigan's, Friendly's and Applebee's offer discounts every day.

4. Retail Shopping:
National retailers tend to offer discounts to adults over 50, 55 or 60 on specific days of the week. For example, Bon Ton Stores has an age related discount one day per month while Kohl's and Bealls Department Stores give discounts one day each week. Banana Republic offers discounts to anyone over 62 every day. Did you know that many of the stores in premium outlet malls throughout the country offer an extra 10% discount to any shopper over 50? Online stores, also known as e-tailers such as ebags.com are catching on to the trend of 50+ deals. You still have to ask when you place an order.

5. Banking Services:
Saving money at the bank is an especially nice experience. Several national and regional banks such as Bank of America offer special features for 50+Boomers such as unlimited free -checking, preferred interest rates on savings accounts, free safe deposit boxes and other rewards.
6. Fitness:
Looking young helps you feel young, but looking young and fit can be expensive. Luckily, many fitness center chains offer discounts including Bally Total Fitness and Gold's Gym. Ski resorts will also offer senior discounts on lift tickets throughout the season.

7. Automobiles;
Routine maintenance is critical to prolonging the useful life of an auto. Many Jiffy Lube stores offer a 10% discount on maintenance services to anyone 55 or older.

8. Technology Support:
Many of us know how to find discounts on computer equipment, but don't know what to do after we buy them. There is actually a nationwide service called Zip Express that offers 15% discounts to 50 plusers on in-home installation and help with the use of televisions and digital cameras as well as computers.

9. Pharmaceuticals:
As we grow older, we tend to use more prescription drugs as well as OTC medications and nutritional supplements. Pharmacies all over the nation such as CVS, Rite Aid, Eckerd's and Longs Drug Stores are offering discounts of at least 10% on prescriptions and many other items. Sometimes these extra discounts are available on specific days of the week.

10. Continuing Education:
Most state universities offer senior citizens the opportunity to audit courses for FREE or a small nominal fee. It is worth the trouble to ask if this option is available to adults in their fifties. Keeping your brain challenged is one of the best ways to keep feeling young and fit.

In these challenging economic times, it often seems like finding ways to save money is like finding a needle in a haystack. The good news is that there is a Website that has put all these discounts together by category. It is called 50plusdeals.com. In addition to its editorial listings, the site also presents "Special Offers" from selected partners and suppliers who have products and services of interest to 50 plus consumers.

According to market research expert and CEO of PreRetirement Resources Group, Andrew Garvin, the most important way to find discounts when you are over 50 is to ask for them -every time from every vendor. "If you don't ask, you don't get. If you do ask, you are bound to save a lot of money."

Robin Colner is an Internet marketing consultant and web entrepreneur who specializes in the Baby Boomer and Seniors markets. She has been involved in the launch of several websites designed to help 50 + adults improve their lives, health and finances. As the Chief Marketing Officer of PreRetirement Resources Group, Robin is committed to encouraging Boomers and Seniors to become more cyber savvy and learn about ways to save time and money.

Hush Little Baby

14 total tracks, first 7 have vocals; second 7 are instrumental versions of the first seven. 1)Lavender's Blue 2)Hush Little Baby 3)To Babyland 4)Sweet Be You Sleep 5)The Sandman Will Come 6)Sleepytime 7)Evening Prayer (The Child's) Prayer


These are troubled times we live in. The independent free nation of Georgia has been violated by a larger, stronger nation that is run by a man with dreams of empire. Mr. Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB officer, has instigated a national push to rebuild the power and glory of the old Soviet Union. The idea is to take advantage of the weaker states around Russia first. Then, if the tide of world opinion doesn't sweep the Russians back, they will advance upon other hapless victims in their quest, once again, for world superpower status.

The Russians took their first baby steps with the attacks on the Chechnians under the guise of retaliation against the "rebels". Although some response was necessary, in my view, the response was way too harsh for the alleged crimes against Russia. I beleive that this was a test to see the response of world opinion. Once it was clear that there would be no great outcry, the Russians decided to plan and proceed with their next step. Georgia was the obvious choice and the ultimate test to determine if their plans of domination would be halted or even slowed by the free world. So far, it appears as if there is no great opposition to their plans.If the russians get away with abusing a free country like Georgia, there is no stopping them when they move to the next logical choice. That would the Ukraine.

After taking these steps, the rest of the countries in the area would be taken, one at a time, with nothing but useless words hurled at the Russians. I think it has been proven to everyone's satisfaction that words bounce off the Russians like rubber chickens off their t-72 tanks. If I were a citizen of Latvia or Lithuania, I would be planning an emigration to America. They're on the list.

Where is the line drawn? Why does the free world allow this potential future threat to happen? It must be said here that it will be far easier to stop the Russians in the free nation of Georgia than in the plains of Europe. This is just my opinion, but I know that others feel the same way. The world doesn't need another war, cold, nuclear, brush fire or otherwise. Let someone stand up and say No!

Quick weight loss tips are much sought after by folks eager to lose some weight in the shortest time possible. You could be a bride preparing for your wedding and needed to slim down to fit into your gown nicely, or in your mid-40s and want to lose that beer belly. Whatever the reason may be, it is not wrong to desire to lose weight quickly. But the key is to do so healthily. This article is packed with 10 goodie tips that would put you on the right track to losing those extra unwanted pounds on your body and regaining the dream body you always loved to have.

Heres 5 simple quick weight loss tips:

Quick Weight Loss Tip 1 - Losing Weight is an Equation

Losing weight means you have to eat lesser calories than what your body needs. This translates to consuming lesser calories than your daily energy requirement. Follow the Basal Metabollic Rate (BMR) formula which you will find on my blog to calculate your BMR. This tells you how much calories you need to intake in order to maintain your body weight. You will need to step down your daily calorie intake by about 500 calories in order to lose one pound in one weeks time.

Quick Weight Loss Tip 2 Eat More Meals and Dont Skip Them

Before you start wondering if you are reading correctly, let me assure you that your eyes are not playing tricks on you. It is a myth that skipping meals would help you to lose weight quickly and effectively. Your body would slow down its metabolism when you skip meals, in a bid to conserve energy, hence burning away lesser calories. You end up hungry and yet not achieving the desired weight loss.

Spread your meals from 3 big meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner into 5-6 smaller meals comprising the 3 main light meals and 2-3 other snacking time. This would distribute your calorie intake and reach a good balance.

Quick Weight Loss Tip 3 - Eat Green

Stock up your fridge with lots of leafy green vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich sources of fiber and water and add weight and volume to our food. This makes our stomachs full while maintaining a lower calorie count since fruits and vegetables are inherently low in calories and fat content. They also pack our bodies with healthy nutrients making our diet a balanced one.

Quick Weight Loss Tip 4 Sleep Well

Sleeping is a favorite quick weight loss tip since it is one of the most effortless. Do not understand the power of having enough sleep. It is vital to your overall weight loss plan. Medical research has proven that sleep deprivation would induce hunger, and improve appetite. This often results in excessive eating. Likewise, having sufficient sleep of at least 8 hours helps to bring a balance to the leptin level and aids weight loss.

Quick Weight Loss Tip 5 - Exercise Enough

Some folks hate this quick weight loss tip and are immediately turned off. Sad to say, in order to maintain a healthy weight, exercise is necessary. Dieting and making adjustments to your eating habits would only win you half the game. Regular exercising is the missing part of the quick weight loss puzzle. You may be wondering how much is enough? Physical trainers or even your doctors would advise you to go for moderate exercise sessions of 30 minutes each time. Repeat the routine for a minimum of 3 times a week for effective weight loss. You would be surprised how fast you start to lose inches off your waist and hips once you begin your exercise regime.

These quick weight loss tips are useful to you only when you apply them after reading. Many people fail in doing so because of poor motivation and lack of moral support from their family and closed friends. Share with them about your weight loss plan and encourage them to remind you from time to time about your goal to lose weight quickly. This would spur you on to be focused. Read up my blog if you desire to find out more about natural and healthy ways to lose up to 28 pounds within 3 short weeks.

Most people have a pretty basic life plan. Get a good job, work hard, raise a family, put the kids through college and then retire and enjoy the golden years. A perfect storm of events should be causing seniors and soon to be seniors to reconsider their golden years.

The foremost issue that is confronting us all, not just seniors, is the current economic mess. An economy that was built on the idea of continual purchasing was a house of cards and apt to fall one day. Today is that day. The bad news, of course, is this economic pull back is going to reset the way we think about building wealth. The question for many seniors and soon to be seniors is whether it is too late for them.

The two financial areas of the great concern tend to be home values and retirement accounts. As well all know, home values have dropped off a cliff and there is no sign of things improving in 2009. This loss of value has been particularly tough because many people have converted their homes into their savings account. They paid down mortgages and used appreciation to create a nest egg for the golden years. Many used equity lines of credit to tap this. Regardless, the loss of value in homes has turned many a nest egg into so many empty shells. The latest reports from the National Realtors Association suggest that one in 10 homeowners may be late or defaulting on loan payments. That is a huge number.

The situation with retirement accounts is not much better. With home prices falling and banks failing, the stock market has taken a beating. Being down 30 to 60 percent is not unusual, but it is a huge number for seniors or those who plan on retiring in the next few years. Most were planning to live off their retirement fund investments, but the amount they expected to collect each month has gone down significantly.

So, what does the future hold for those entering or already in their golden years? Each situation is obviously different, but there has to be some serious concern. Housing and the stock market will bounce back, but when and how fast? Most people believe 2009 is going to be worse than 2008. The trend of pain could continue for some time. Remember, it took World War II to really end the first Great Depression. For many seniors, it is time to bunker down again until things play out.

Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Bounce & Spin Zebra

Bounce, spin, and dance away with the Fisher Price Baby Gymtastics Bounce and Spin Zebra. Ideal for ages 12 to 36 months this lively zebra enhances motor skills as the child learns coordination, balance, and how to climb on and off. Sure to become every youngster's favorite toy, five uplifting songs play as the child bounces and turns 360 degrees. Fun sounds reward movement and strengthen auditory skills. The Bounce and Spin also has an activity handlebar with a rolling ball to encourage eye-hand coordination.

Fun for the Little One
The wide, sturdy base of the Bounce and Spin Zebra provides stability and support, even with hard bouncing and spinning. And to prevent falls, the Zebra locks until the child is sitting properly in the seat. It also has an off-soft-loud switch that little fingers can't turn. Orange, easy-grip handlebars allow the toddler to hold tight as they take their wild ride. For even more fun, a ball spins in the center with lights and music. This toy is relatively low to the ground, so that most children can climb on and off by themselves. Putting together the Zebra is easy, but be aware that the carton contains small parts for adult use only. This product requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).

Features
Better than a boring old horse, this lively Zebra really encourages physical development. It comes as no surprise that the Bounce and Spin Zebra won the Hot Toy award from Toys 'R Us in 2006, and accolades from other companies. Parents get a lot of use out of this toy, as children can play with it until they are about three years old. The zany Zebra won't tilt under pressure and it has an irresistibly cute appearance that kids love. Five fun songs and activity handlebars keeps active kids bouncing, busy, and happy.



This toy encourages baby's physical development through bouncing and spinning.




The old, traditional idea is that senior citizens do not have to work; they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of years of labor while the young take care of them. The generation of baby boomers created a long of change in the world. Now they are drawing closer to the age of retirement and soon will be retiring in large numbers. Is it possible to imaging them spending a leisurely life at home, doing nothing?

The generation of baby boomers is know for their uniqueness. They have redefined and reshaped several aspects of social culture. They made their presence felt in the past, and they will surely do so again in the future. Right from the beginning, baby boomers have thought differently and made different types of choices and decisions. Getting old has not changed them in any way.

Close to retirement, they are faced with making a big personal choice again. They have to either retire in the traditional way or continue in the workforce. Being a baby boomer, he or she will probably prefer to remain in the workforce as long as possible. In fact, about 76 percent of working baby boomers intend to extend their stay in the workforce although they have reached the age of retirement.

Most senior citizens consider retirement as the end . However, baby boomers consider it to be the most important phase of their lives. This does not mean that baby boomers want to continue working at a nine-to-five job till the end of their lives. Some of them would prefer to work part-time, and others want to pursue their dreams of starting an enterprise of their own. Some baby boomers want to take a break and enjoy a life of leisure after working for so many years; others would love to travel because, after all, they have made enough money to spend on travelling.

Several external factors have shaped these decisions made by baby boomers. For one, baby boomers comprise the largest section of the population. America's labor force will be greatly depleted if they retire in large numbers, and the state will find it extremely difficult to pay out so many retirement benefits. The other consequences of boomer retirements are:

Boomers are expected to live long because of the development made by technology and medical science. However, if boomers live longer, they have to spend more, and their retirement funds may not be enough to take care of all their requirements.

Companies that offer pension plans are planning to change their plans and lower retirement benefits to employees. Since boomers are already close to retirement, this leaves them with little time save for their life in the future.

Medical costs are soaring. Companies expect a ten percent annual increase of boomers seeking medical products or services where they can save or pay on medical costs or services.

These factors greatly influence a baby boomer's decision. They can't depend on their children because their children might have their own families to take care of. Baby boomer retirement, therefore, is a cause for concern not only for baby boomers, but also for the sate.

Baby boomers impact the country's economy in a large way. They were responsible for the rapid rise of American economy when they were working and spending powerfully back in the nineties. When they quit the workforce in large numbers, the country's economy is bound to suffer. The United States and other countries are now faced with this powerful challenge. And companies and organization have already come up with some solutions.

Baby boomers are more interested in self-welfare than in anything else. A boomer does not really take the other into consideration while he or she makes a decision. If baby boomers decide to extend their stay in the workforce or quit and start businesses of their own, no force on earth can convince them to change their mind.
