You’re never too old to learn, right? So now’s the right time to try adult continuing education.

Older adults have a multitude of options to learn and experience more these days. In some cases, you don’t have to leave where you love aging in place. In other cases, you can get out, meet new people, learn in exciting environments and experience new adventures.

Even better, you can find adult continuing education that fits almost any schedule and budget.

Haven’t convinced you to pursue it yet? Then consider this. Researchers found older adults who participate in lifel…

How well do you communicate? It’s an important question for older adults who choose to age in place.

Even more important is your answer – because the better you communicate the better your quality of life can be.

“It ain’t over till it’s over,” so wherever you are on your journey—retired, semi-retired, planning to retire, still working—keep setting goals. Why? Because life is a continuum. So, what if I told you the end goal of life is to attain wisdom?
