Redefining the Ageing Process

Sep 5, 2024

We are often asked how old we are. It seems like a straightforward question. The problem is the answer. Now for me personally, my chronological age is 60. This, however, does not tell who I am, how I am, or give any kind of educated answer to the question. However, context is everything. Yes, I am now eligible for AARP membership, I have 2 years till I am eligible for Social Security, and if I keep my eyes out, I may find a discount here and there. Age in the chronological scheme is inevitable. Every day I am older and like everyone else, I will not live forever. However, it does not tell you anything about me.

Avoid COVID-19 Scams

Have you received robocalls, text messages, or emails offering free face masks? Or maybe you've seen social media posts about free COVID-19 testing kits, "cures," or protective equipment? Unfortunately scammers are using the COVID-19 pandemic to try to steal your Medicare Number and personal information. If anyone reaches out to get your Medicare Number or personal information in exchange for something, you can bet it's a scam. Stop scams before they happen. Visit Medicare.gov/fraud for tips on preventing Medicare scams and fraud. If you suspect fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE to report it.
