Seniors On Line for Sleep Catch up

We Seniors like to catch up with the late night humor by going on line. This humor is important to us as we know that humor helps us deal with what we find hopeless.

Our local radio station provides we Seniors who go to bed early the previous nights top ten from David Letterman. While waking I heard his list from last night program which was on a hot topic; ways to stimulate the economy. It set my freshly rested mind to thinking that stimulating the economy may not be the answer but rather being a little more responsible may be the answer.

Remember back when you gave allowances to your children. There was a price to pay right as we said it to be “earning your allowance”. My thought is that we should give but we should learn to live frugal and within our means. So I created a list from a Seniors point of view who has been around the block a few times and made more than my share of financial mistakes.

Ten Ways to Save instead of Stimulate Economic Growth

1. George and Laura Bush should carpool to Texas with snowbirds RV-ing south

2. Sell the Bridge to Nowhere on a hundred year flexible lease

3. Obama should pay an inheritance tax when assuming office (Would anyone really want to inherit all this)

4. Feb. 17 09—all channels should become “The shopping Channel”or Info Commercial channels Many would turn the tv off and go get a job to buy all that stuff.

5. Charge daily rent on ALL unoccupied seats in the the House of Reps. and Senate.

6. Americans should buy only American made Pork Barrels

Note: Chinese made Pork Barrels do not exist at Walmart

7. Sell land and all rights to the Berring Strait Bridge/Tunnel to the Russians. After all they gave us a good deal when we bought Alaska from them.

We should insist that there be a McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Texas Roadhouse on the Alaskan side.

8. Surgeons should provide 2 for 1 surgery specials. Have surgery with a friend and split the cost. One get well card to be shared from the local Senior Center.

9. All New Homes should be built on wheels When the morage goes default, merely move to another location. Ditto for those who can’t pay lot rent.

10. You can provide this one–I have run out of ideas.

Panda Picked on line humor that we can access the next day or write up our own. After all humor is contagious but we can’t lose out on our precious quality sleep.

Senior Lifestyle in the RV Defines Success

Seniors define success by living the lifestyle they choose to live in their retirement years. Some want to fish, golf, travel, teach crafts, volunteer to help others, etc. etc. One such lifestyle is to travel and live in an RV for part or perhaps all year. Those going south to the warmer climates for just the winter months, dubbed snowbirds as they leave the north with the birds, find they can extend their time to do their favorite activities, i.e. fish, golf, travel, and volunteer. Not to stay in the house during inclement weather means they have the lifestyle they desire with no weather restrictions.

An on line business if more funds are needed, allows such freedom as one can take their business with them and not be restricted to any locality. In fact they can move with freedom from one camp spot to another, enjoying new adventures.

Meet Donna and Jake

I met Donna on an on-line community, ulearn2earn and invited her to share her story of success. She is just like us Seniors when she says, ”My computer/internet training is from years of trial/error experience only, my web design training is self-taught, and my internet marketing skills are feed from people that are already in the field of online marketing, I really believe in asking for directions. There are people out there to help you if you just ask the right questions on what you are looking for. I’ve had no formal training.” Her one advantage of course is that using the computer when younger comes much easier than for us seniors, but her idea of depending on others for guidance is good advice.

Another success idea from Donna is that she is “‘targeting the right audience, marketing properly, and using the right tool to thoroughly get my information out to the right people. Success in using the internet has always been positive for me.” A healthy positive attitude goes a long way when striving to build that on line business.

By the photo you can tell Donna is no Baby Boomer but I felt her story of success was something from which all us seniors on line could benfit. As retirees we long for freedom to do our own thing and in Donna’s case she is already there while most her age are working at jobs they long to escape. Donna says, “I work from home where it is more informal and brings out the creative side of me. If I was in more of a formal environment, my work output would be too stuffy and monotous. At home, I can feel more like myself.” When the days work is done, she can go on her adventures, meet new people, and perhaps move on to another fun location.

Donna’s On Line Business

“I am a web site designer for RV parks. I also design websites that promote RV traveling and supports the RV community. Most of my income is from business advertising thru my own websites that promote the RV Lifestyle. My two websites that I own are http://www.travelbyrv.com and http://www.rvingblogs.com.
I’m located in Manchester, NH for the summer months and travel in an RV in the winter months. I left on November 20th 2008 to join the snowbirds of the south for five or six months. I’m 34 years old and I have a Maltese puppy named Jake. I’ve never been married and I have no children.”

Donna sums it all up when she says, “Trying to show seniors that people can be successful using the net hits home with me because where I travel from an RV, it really puts me in touch with the retirement population and they ask me how I live my life they way I do financially and when I tell them that I have an online business, they become very intrigued and I tell them exactly how it’s done.” Thank you Donna for showing us the meaning of on line success AND lifestyle success.

Donna uses the blog as a way of sharing her carefree winter adventures. http://rvtrip08.wordpress.com/ Please note she has been in Florida, Arizona and managed to be in Vegas for the historic snow fall. Gosh Donna the snow followed you to Vegas for that record 6 inch snowfall.
