Podcasts about seniors

For millions of older Americans, the dream of aging in place is colliding with the reality of inaccessible and unaffordable housing. Retrofitting homes is often out of reach financially, downsizing isn't the easy fix it appears to be, and without these changes, independence and safety become harder to hold onto in later life. We cover this quiet crisis and what resources are available to take proactive steps early on.

En este nuevo episodio, nos sumergimos en un fenómeno que no solo está transformando las oficinas, sino también las culturas organizacionales, los liderazgos y la forma en que entendemos el trabajo: el encuentro entre generaciones. En un mismo equipo pueden convivir —y a veces colisionar— Baby Boomers, Generación X, Millennials y Gen Z. Cada una con sus valores, estilos comunicacionales, expectativas laborales y niveles de apego al trabajo.Para conversar sobre este intercambio generacional conversamos con la experta en comunicaciones, empresaria y académica, Carolina Guajardo, quien nos contó su experiencia como pasante en la empresa de software Buk y su visión optimista sobre la creación de culturas laborales más adaptables e inclusivas.

No matter your age, size, shape, or the state of your knees, hips, back, you should feel free to embrace your sexuality. If you don't wanna have sex anymore, that's cool. But if you do? You absolutely shouldn't feel ashamed about it.I'm on a mission to smash one of life's last, stubborn taboos: the idea that older people can't be sexy or sexual. SCREW THAT.Every week, I record at least one podcast where I sit down with an expert on sex, dating, or relationships.My podcasts are free for all listeners, but for my discerning readers who enjoy a little extra spice in their lives, I offer paywalled posts. These juicy extras might include sex toy reviews (yes, I test them all myself, so don't say I don't go the extra mile), personal stories from my sexploits, or deep dives into more intimate topics.

That's only a cup or two of coffee per month (depending on where you live).Hey, but don't take it from me.

Are we just supposed to dry up and fade away?”“I enjoy staying abreast of new ideas and learning new ways to please my wife.”“Straight non judgmental information that relates to my needs.”“Love the honesty and humour and the vulnerability too.”“I like that you acknowledge so openly and joyously that older people can still want and need sexual satisfaction.

I asked Vicki Kriczky about a community currently under construction, slated to open February 2026, called The Residence of Boyertown. Vicki explained that The Residence is a community of 126 apartments offering continuing care for folks 55 and older: 54 one -or two-bedroom apartments designated for independent living; 50 to offer personal care, and 22 devoted to memory care. But, more than just a living space, there are restaurants, bistros, a beauty shop, movie theatre—even a stage—planned to provide opportunities for seniors to live a life filled with joy, to create a new chapter of life filled with fun, new friends, a new “family.” It's her passion—helping senior citizens for over 30 years live their best lives. Reach Vicki for more details 484-534-2720 and to attend an information session and eventually a tour.

Many seniors today face significant financial strain—some even resort to borrowing to cover their basic living expenses.For retirees on a fixed income, a reverse mortgage can be a practical solution to access the equity in their home and bring much-needed stability. Harlan Accola joins us today with a message of hope for those looking for margin in their retirement years.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Real Issue: Seniors Struggling with Credit Card DebtNearly 70% of seniors that Movement speaks with are carrying credit card debt. These aren't impulsive spenders buying luxury items. They're retired, living on fixed incomes, and they're relying on credit just to pay for basics like groceries and prescriptions. They're often asset-rich but cash-poor—sitting on significant home equity but drowning in interest rates of 25% to 35%.Many people suffer silently, too embarrassed to discuss their financial challenges. They don't realize that the equity in their home could be used to ease their burden without losing the home they love.One of the biggest hurdles is the spread of misinformation. People believe they'll lose their house, or that a reverse mortgage is inherently bad.In truth, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)—the most common form of reverse mortgage—is federally insured and designed to protect both the homeowner and their heirs. Properly structured, it can be a safe and responsible tool.Who Should Consider a Reverse Mortgage?Anyone over 62 with at least 50–60% equity in their home should take a closer look. A typical scenario might be someone still making monthly mortgage payments, even with a small remaining balance. Those payments—$800, $1,500 or more—can strain fixed retirement budgets.One common misconception is that you lose control of your home. In fact, you and your spouse can stay in your home for life, even if one of you passes away. You can choose how to receive the funds—from monthly income to a lump sum to the most popular option: a line of credit.Whether it's a car repair or a medical bill, reverse mortgage lines of credit provide flexibility. And it's all about wise stewardship.At the heart of this decision is a stewardship principle. As Proverbs 24:3 reminds us, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” It doesn't make sense to live in a paid-off home but struggle to pay for groceries while racking up 30% interest on credit cards. That's not good stewardship.Reverse mortgages aren't for everyone—but many avoid them simply due to fear or misunderstanding. For some, it could be a life-giving solution.If you're entering—or well into—retirement and want to explore whether a reverse mortgage might be a fit for your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 71 and still working, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep it up. Would a reverse mortgage help me eliminate my monthly mortgage payment, allowing me to manage better if I need to stop working?I have recently retired and hold a 401(k) account with Fidelity. Someone mentioned a company called Big Money Retirement Solution, which offers a 9% annual return on an annuity. Should I consider moving half of my portfolio there?I heard there's a way to get a free credit report that the government requires.

Navigating the tax maze just got a little more interesting with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Despite headlines suggesting "tax-free Social Security," the reality offers different but substantial benefits for various groups of Americans.Seniors aged 65 and older can now claim an additional $6,000 deduction ($12,000 for married couples) regardless of whether they itemize or take the standard deduction. This benefit applies even if you haven't started taking Social Security yet, though it phases out for higher-income households. Meanwhile, service industry workers rejoice – tip income can now be excluded from taxable income below certain thresholds, potentially saving servers and other tipped professionals thousands in taxes annually. The SALT deduction cap jumps from $10,000 to $40,000 for most taxpayers, though the marriage penalty remains firmly in place with couples limited to the same $40,000 cap as singles.Car buyers will appreciate the new deduction for up to $10,000 in auto loan interest, while charitable givers face a mixed bag of changes – non-itemizers can deduct $1,000-$2,000 in donations starting next year, but itemizers lose deductibility on their first 0.5% of income donated. Each provision comes with different income limitations based on adjusted gross income, creating planning opportunities for those near these thresholds. Consider strategies like increased retirement contributions or qualified charitable distributions to optimize your position under these new rules.Most Americans will see lower tax bills in the coming three years, but remember – in taxation, "permanent" rarely means forever. As administrations and priorities shift, so too will the tax landscape. Listen now to understand how these changes affect your financial picture and what proactive steps might save you money before filing season arrives.Breaking Down The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”: Impact Of New Laws On Tax Planning Summaryhttps://www.kitces.com/blog/obbba-one-big-beautiful-bill-act-tax-planning-salt-cap-senior-deduction-qbi-deduction-tax-cut-and-jobs-act-tcja-amt-trump-accounts/ Envision Financial Planning. 5100 Poplar Avenue, Suite 2428, Memphis, TN 38137.
