Some of the most popular retirement communities in America are those in towns where colleges and universities are located.
Many of these colleges and universities have a separate division exclusively for seniors.
Community colleges also offer a wealth of courses in many different subjects, including courses on the various crafts.
And many towns and cities have one or more senior centers that should be investigated.
These are not adult day care centers but places offering courses in various subjects on a semester-like basis.
One small city's Department of Recreation and Parks conducts thirty or more classes each fall and spring, ranging from creative writing to sign language to wreath making, all at a modest fee.
Comedian George Carlin writes: "Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle, this is : "How To Stay Young".
After a year and a half of retirement, the focus on what is important and what is not, is becoming much clearer as time passes by. At this point in time they are, keeping healthy, both in mind and body and being wise in our investments, so we can get a return and hopefully be able a little more comfortable in our later life.
