Questions for Seniors [View all]

I am turning 69 next month (yes that went fast) but I am also interested in opening discussions with other seniors about what they are thinking and or concerned about. I think it would be interesting to discuss and even publish our (60 years and above) wants, needs, issues, and concerns.
