(Updated 10 November 2019)

I’m going through old articles about how to Make Money In Retirement from my old Retired Pay blog, deleting some trivia and updating some of the more worthy ones to meet changing times.

I was really struck by this article, written more than 7 years ago … how little seems to have changed … especially the attitude my fellow seniors have about empowering their retirement by learning new things and capitalizing on on-line opportunities. Enjoy.

How I Found This Article and Many Others

As I’ve mentioned before I make a lot of use of Google Alerts

(you should set some for yourself and see how valuable this service is)

to find information on things I want to learn about (like Make Money In Retirement) as well as general subjects for the blogs I operate.

This article is from a UK magazine a few summers back.

Still pretty much up to date … and still pretty much behind the times regarding the Internet.

Do they think our brains dry up at age 65 or something?

After 30-odd years of internet use, you’d think they would start to “get it” by now, wouldn’t you?

How To Retire in the Philippines With No Money.
(Updated 6 August 2019)

OK, just on the face of things this is a really silly title for an article.  You can’t retire in the Philippines (or anywhere else) with no money.

But since more than 150 people a month come here searching for that exact phrase, I figured I better say something about it.

Actually, my blogging colleague Dave Dewall said some more about it, word for word.

Two sandwiches shy of a whole picnic I think was one of his expressions.

Made me laugh.  Go read what Dave had to say here, it’s good stuff:
