Over 60's Benefits

older man captioned over 60
  Despite some obvious downsides of aging that we all must endure, there are vast benefits for people who surpass the age of 60 years old.

  Senior Citizen age varies from place to place, based on local laws,  but for the most part once you can say you are officially over 60, the discounts just start rolling in.

  This website is dedicated to reduced tuiton or even free tuition for seniors looking to get back in school/college.   Reduced education costs are just one of many benefits to senior citizens.
 Things to Remember
  • Ask for senior discounts,  almost all places have them but usually do not advertise them
  • Many hotels offer a senior discount 
  • Retail stores like, Banana Republic and Kohls offer hidden senior discounts
  • Senior Discounts at many restaurants might be obvious, but they usually won't advertise it
  • Boston Market, Denny's, Applebees and Outback all have senior discounts
  • Many grocery stores have incentives for senior citizens
  • THE MOVIES (check with your local theatre)
  • Amusement parks also generally have a senior rate
  • Public transportation often offers cheaper rates for the elderly
  • Many telephone service providers offer a senior discount,  AT&T and Verizon have such offers
  • Check with AARP.ORG for many offers
  • Continued Education is proven to reduce cognitive impairment among older people.  Many colleges offer free or reduced tuition/classes for senior citizens.  
Social Security 
  For now the retirement age is 65 years old.  There are ways to recieve a reduced retirement at age 62 and the near future retirement age will probably be pushed to around 67.   Generally at age 65, one can start to collect social security benefits, which are based off of many factors including your income through your working years, cost of living factors and factors such as being a veteran or other disabilities.   To find out more go to https://www.ssa.gov/
