I just read a story about a woman in Chicago who just turned 100 years old and didn’t retire from her job until she was 99 year old. She said the reason she never retired was because she loved what she was doing at her job, felt needed and appreciated. In an era where age is increasingly seen as just a number, the traditional stereotypes associated with the elderly are being shattered. Today's octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians are not just reminiscing about the past; they're actively shaping the present and future. From the courtroom to the comedy stage, from TikTok to the golf course, and even in our very own neighborhoods, they are redefining what it means to age gracefully. Personal Stories:   Jo and Doreen, The Pillars of the NeighborhoodJo, at 93, is a testament to the...

Hey there, folks!  Wondering if it's too cold or too hot in the current fall real estate market? Let's dive into it in this midweek market report. As someone who's been in the real estate game for 20 years, I've seen my fair share of market fluctuations. Back in early August, I mentioned that we were experiencing some momentum in the market, indicating an early start to the fall season. But as the seasons change, so does the housing market.According to Realtor.com, the week from August 1 to August 7 is prime time for homebuyers. Why, you ask? Well, sellers prefer not to have their homes listed during the winter months, and some are even willing to take their homes off the market temporarily, only to relist them come spring. If they're serious about selling, that is.But hold on a sec! Wh...

Do you want to invest in relationships and work in financially smart ways? Check out the 5 ways I did just that this month.1. We Picked a Nature VacationWe took our kids to Colorado in August. And one thing I'm learning as I get older is that I LOVE nature vacations. Partly it's because natural beauty makes me happy.But also, compared to overpriced amusement parks, a Rocky Mountain park pass for one vehicle is an insanely cheaper option. I'll take that trade-off (along with the fresh mountain air and life giving views) every time. We truly felt like we were able to save money and live better with this vacation.2. We Saved on Travel FoodOne of the other biggest costs of traveling as a family is food.For our last several vacations, we rented an Airbnb or Vrbo so that we have a kitchen. Th...
