Our brand new site is in progress, please
excuse the disarray.
What we're about....
Information within this site focuses mostly on Pittsburgh, Allegheny
County and its surrounding neighborhoods, but you will find many resources
listed for areas nearby, county- and state-wide. This site focuses on
resources for the 50+'ers and retired seniors, but the stuff to do and places to go
are listed for every age group.
If you're retired, living in Pittsburgh, thinking
about retiring to Pittsburgh, and are 50+, this site is especially for
you.
If you have and keep the right attitude, and stay healthy and active, you can be
what's called a "Pittsburgher in Paradise"...
If you're armed with info
that helps you do and achieve just that.
If you are a healthy retiree or senior who is active, and know others who are
not, you can reach out and help them remain healthy and active, or get
the help they might need. We all eventually become ill or disabled with
age-related disorders, and unable to do certain things we used to be able to do.
But many seniors are still able to enjoy many of the activities and experiences
available to us.
If we know where we can pursue them
- You can arm yourself with knowledge, and protect yourself and your best
interests, do what you damn well please with your time and finances, until you
can't. And you can do it responsibly.
- You can devote more time your hobby or start a new one, learn about what resources
you can dip into that's geared toward your needs, and take advantage of all the
free things you are entitled to and worked for decades to earn and
receive.
- You don't have to be bored and isolated late in life if you don't want
to be. That's true just about anywhere you live in retirement.
Even if all you can or want to do is cruise the internet, read and educate
yourself, and learn new, and some fascinating, although not-necessarily useful,
things. There's a world of knowledge, experience and entertainment out there.
And a lot is free.
If you want to stay involved in, or even start a small or cottage business,
there's no reason you can't be part of that. You can even share your knowledge
as a mentor to young entrepreneurs or at-risk teenagers.
Pittsburgh has many institutions of
higher learning where you can continue your education, get
that set-aside or forgotten degree, take advantage of community continuing education
opportunities, community centers, free art and crafting classes, free
transportation for seniors, and a lot of hospitals and medical professionals for
your on-going medical needs.
You can learn to navigate your own life, whatever stage it's in, based on your
own abilities and desires. With access to information and with assistance of
professionals.
This site contains easy-to-digest info on where things are, who does what, where
to get the help you need, if and when you need it. Use this site to learn more
about what you might like to do with your well-earned retirement years, want or need to make or keep you happy,
independent and active for as long as possible.
You can make your retirement and senior years what you want them to be in a lot
of practical ways.
I'm still
trying to figure out what I want to be when i grow up ~ It will get bumpy, but I
intend to enjoy the ride.
