You’ve worked for decades, managed loans, paid off debts, and now it’s time to retire. Retirement doesn’t mean your credit stops being important. In fact, managing your credit after retirement can be just as crucial as it was during your working years. Even though income might decrease, the need for credit can still arise. Whether it’s financing a car, helping grandkids with college, or covering an unexpected medical expense, a good credit score gives you more options. Our Experts in this area of the site explore the issues and tribulations of credit that we have to deal with during the different decades in our life as we are Aging.
It is important to maintain good credit at any age. Credit habits that are timeless include paying on time, keeping balances low, monitoring your credit reports to catch errors, limiting your hard inquiries by not applying for too many accounts in a short time, and by building a mix of credit with installment loans and revolving credit. Having these credit behaviors in creating a credit profile tells lenders that this person is responsible with Money.

Career Shifts require a rock bottom at work or home or both.On the beige rug in my parent’s Florida condo, the girls finished home school circa 2021 and were starting kid Monopoly on the round kitchen table. This Friday in Covid was warm for December, even in Florida. I sunk onto the floor in my running shorts and button down striped blouse, the ultimate zoom outfit. I hit my head, too tall to find under the window sill, the ripples of the old rug caused me great irritation. I wasn’t used to feeling unhinged at this level any more than the floridian condo we camped at during covid.The sobs…

Imagine trusting a company with your DNA, only to learn that sensitive genetic information, health data, ancestry records, and details about biological relatives may have been exposed. California is now suing 23andMe over a massive data breach that is raising serious questions about genetic privacy and data security. Unlike a password or credit card number, your DNA cannot be replaced. This case is a powerful reminder that some of the most valuable information we own is also the hardest to protect once it falls into the wrong hands.
