She missed a big one, Downsize, get rid of your junk. My dad had 6 files cabinets with stuff going back to the 60's. I had to check every file as he hid things in them.
Last year we contacted an estate planning attorney. As a senior citizen and pensioner I have a minor child (God blessed me) and I needed to get a plan in place just in case something happened to her mom and me. It also did the financial planning to make it easier for my wife.

I've gotten rid of most of my junk. At 80...I need few clothes so that's a couple bags full for the church.
I get my groceries delivered by Walmart. And I have a laundry service that is very reasonable...that picks up, wash, fold and deliver.
My job is to exercise the car once a week. I do cook all the time and try to keep things picked up.
My kids are all over the country...but every morning we play wordle and NYT Connections.
So far, I'm lucky...and a low maintenance senior.
I do still acquire new things...like my Josh Allen poster. Yes!!

With Trump now having a united Senate and House behind him, it’s a lousy time to die. You want to hang on and enjoy the next four years before shuffling off this mortal coil.

Well, all of my family are gone,
BUT I HAVE worked out a 5-step plan for retirement. I think I’ve got this figured out:
1) Marry a rich single woman
2) Marry a rich single woman
3) Marry a rich single woman
4) Failing that, the Rapture
5) Failing that, World War III

80, really? You seem pretty spry for 80. Share your secret, please.

No not this one (stock photo) - my Dad, God rest his soul, had the Triumph
I had to land on a carrier. I refueled and loaded up some chemicals to spray over Nully's house. Don't tell him I told you. Then, it was off to Hong Kong for some real Chinese Buffet.

Sue Ellen has this terrible habit of wearing undergarments as if they were a top.
It might be the sugar-high from all of the candy bars.
