Welcome to the "Ask Jim" section of Over 60 Exchange. I can answer your questions about Reinventing Life, staying productive and enjoying your life more.
Question: Honestly, I'm scared. What I hear from the "experts" on television is that no one knows how bad times will get before they get better. Any ideas about how to weather the economic storm?

(Scroll to bottom of this section for lastest up to date Money News) Have you ever wondered why the best laid plans in life seem to fall apart just as you need them to work the most?
Take a Quick Quiz(Your mental attitude)
Life is full of challenges and today anyone over 60 is facing the very real challenge that they may outlive their savings or see their financial assets dwindle away through no fault of their own, perhaps even to the point where none are left.
If you are one of these people concerned about this real possibility and you are looking for real life solutions that are working for others, you need to become an Over60Exchange Member today!
Over the next months and years, we will be providing you with ideas and solutions to handle the very real challenges coming from a rapidly changing world.
Here's a word of caution. If you want to wait and see what happens, or you believe that everything will go back the way it was or remain the same (take no action), the Over60Exchange is probably not for you. If you are ready to take action and are open-minded to doing things to help yourself, the Over60Exchange is for you.
Remember, there are three types of people in today's world...
(1) Those who make things happen
(2) Those who have things happen to them
(3) Those who ask "what's happening?"

"Fitness: If it came in a bottle, everyone would have a good body."- Cher
(Scroll to bottom of this section for latest Healthcare News) The exciting thing about reaching one's senior years is the fact that we should have more time to do the things we want to do. The challenge is having the energy and physical ability to do this. As many of us find out, our minds may still believe we can do things that we have alway done but when the body is called upon to perform these acts, it fights back. Some of us may even suffer injuries never experienced before or go to bed healthy and wake up with certain parts no longer working.
Here in the Over60Exchange, we are not going to start preaching to you about how important good health is for living a rewarding and happy life. You already know this fact and besides, you can go to any number of other websites that are full of advice and direction, so we are not going to duplicate what others have done. However, what we will be doing is bringing you sensible and realistic ideas and actions that you can add to your daily lives for getting the maximum from your physical self.
A lot of living a happy and healthy life is based on simple habits either learned or instinctive. We will be sharing other people's stories with you on what they have figured out and how what they have learned may help you.
Finally, preserving good health is much like gambling. You can make all the right moves but if you are in the wrong place or have the wrong timing, you can still lose. It could be an accident while walking, driving or standing still or it could be an unintentional exposure to some disease. Some of you have already suffered health setbacks that are not reversible while others of you are on the road to recovery, perhaps back 100% to normal. This is part of life. But, what is possibly more important than preserving health or preventing poor health is your attitude toward how you handle life once something happens. The easy thing to do is to feel like a victim and to look for sympathy. This is natural. What is not natural is to continue feeling this way. You have to work at being a victim but truthfully, it is much easier and far more healthy all the way around to start focusing on the positive and what you can still do.
We will be bringing you stories of people who have lost their health and how they either got it back or found a way to live around it.
Much of what we will sharing will be for Members Only. Do not miss your chance. Become a member today.

"Our houses are such unwieldly property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them."- Henry David Thoreau
(Scroll to bottom of this section for latest ENERGY NEWS) In speaking to seniors directly and through surveys taken from across the country, one of the biggest fears that we have in our senior years is the loss of our independence where we must depend on others and/or we are tied down both physically and financially.
"Independent Living" will be our theme. Since this can have different meanings to different people, we will provide you with our, Over60Exchange, definition and you can modify it for your individual situation from there. What will become clear is the fact that the times have dramatically changed on what we as seniors must do to remain independent. We will need to understand and learn new ways to live. These new ways of living will no longer be optional but will become choices that we all must make.
The key part of our Independent Living focus will be the homes where we live. Here we will bring you unique cutting edge information developed through a collaboration with industry experts for what makes the most sense physically and financially for seniors. You will see real life examples of what people are already doing and develop a new awareness for how you can maintain a healthy and happy independent lifestyle that can also simplify your life without major sacrifice.
Of course, if you are filthy rich and all your needs are met by others, we still expect that you too will also be interested because life is full of surprises and none of us really knows what tomorrow may bring.

"Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
- Benjamin Franklin
(Scroll to bottom of this section for more News)
How many times have we heard someone say, "the older you get, the faster time goes by."?
This little saying has no appeal to anyone young because being young is the same as being "immortal." But, once the senior years finally arrive, it suddenly becomes clear that we can start counting our remaining years without the need for a calculator. (Our fingers and toes work just as 
There is not much we can do about how we spend time. It is going to happen with or without our help. However, there is plenty we can do about how we invest our time. A couch potato spends time. A conscientious student studying invests time.
Spending time or Investing time are dramatically different from each other. Here at the Over60Exchange we are only interested in Investing Time. Investing our time is a choice. It requires a decision. It is a conscious act that requires thinking and forethought. Perhaps planning is another way to describe investing time but truthfully we are going to focus on how time can become our friend and how we may even be able to buy some of our "spent" time back.
The areas of our focus will vary but here are several we will start with in no particular order.
First, some of our focus will be on setting up your own business. Many of you have dreamed of doing this your whole life but other things in life got in the way or took you down a different path. So, setting up a business, buying a business or becoming a partner in a business will be addressed as a way to invest your time.
Second, we will focus on using talents and skills you already possess as a way to add more value to you life. This will be done by investing time in their promotion or further development. Many of you have a life time of learning with invaluable experience. Why not turn this into something that provides you a rewarding return, both financially and for enjoyment? The idea here is to invest your time in yourself. It is never too late and with a rapidly changing world, the opportunities are becoming better every day.
Third, many of you have the desire to help other people. Your financial and health wellness are under control and you want to share with others your energy and time. This is the investment of your time in others. Here we will address those areas where there is a real need and where the investment of your time has the real chance of a major return in many different ways.
Fourth, we are going to include travel and just having fun. We are going to open doors to ways seniors can enjoy a world of things to do and places to see, while wisely spending financial assets. This includes the RV industry, 
 As the Over60Exchange grows, so will the success stories shared by others who wisely invested their time in their later years. You will see examples of people who have successfully invested their time for excellent returns including ways for helping make other people's lives better.
Time is a finite resource; it can be measured in seconds, minutes, days, months and years. Yet, as only God can count the apples in a seed, the same is true for how much time we have in our lives. Here at the Over60Exchange, we recognize time as the great equalizer. No person has more or less than 24 hours per day. Worldwide, we are all equal in this respect. What separates us from others is how we spend and invest our time. This will be our theme. How do you separate yourself from others when it comes to your time.
