LIFESTYLE

You have used this expression your whole life. The story behind it goes all the way back to a smoky 19th-century poker table.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Sponsored by Better Help

Your mental health deserves attention

We all remember the days when therapy used to feel expensive. Good news is, more payment options may now be available to eligible seniors who are also BetterHelp members. Insurance options may be available for you, making online therapy more within reach than ever.

Disclaimer: Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability.

JUST FOR GRANDPARENT

    SENIOR TIPS

    Message From the Publisher

    When I reached 65, I realized that approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day over the next four years. In addition, over 50 million people are already 65+. I believe our generation deserves its own free, ad-supported, daily lifestyle newsletter with interesting news and fun facts created just for us. I hope you enjoy!
