Senior Perks!!

I’d like to share some of the perks that seniors enjoy. Seniors refer to those who have reached the milestone of 60 years and are heading towards the seventies.


1. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. Why?
All those aches and pains are for real. The posture has also changed, the back is more stooped or rounded! You may even have shrunk a bit!!

2. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. Really???
Some people say there’s no fool like an old fool!! Do you agree?

3. Things you buy now won’t wear out.
That’s provided you still buy things to wear! Do you notice that most of the stuff in shops now cater to the young and skinny? It’s almost impossible to find a nice dress. T-shirts of course will fit anyone, no matter how much you’ve expanded!

4. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
Hmmmph…. Not sure if everyone will agree on this.
Who says seniors don’t get the hots every now and then?
Glasses definitely are needed or you can’t see what’s on the papers!

5. Your eyes won’t get much worse.
True…. Depending on how good or bad your eyes are.
With new technology, you can get rid of the cataract and have lens implant that will let you see clearly. One lens to let you see long distance and the other to allow you to read.

6. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
Ah, the wisdom of having take out insurance! You need it to pay for medication for all the ills that come with age, and the resulting surgery if you happen to fall! Spare parts don’t come cheap.


7. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather bureau.
You know what I’m talking about. You can feel the rain even before it comes.

8. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.

Yep! The memory is getting more rusty each day. I tend to forget which day of the week it is, sometimes.

Enjoy your perks and to all seniors….. enjoy the hours of the day and let’s hope there will be plenty more to come
