My first blog!

Does everyone start out with that title?



Hi everyone! I am a "boomer" senior - fairly new to that rank and PROUD OF IT! I turned 56 a few months ago. Recently I was talking to a fellow boomer about getting senior discounts. I'll always remember the first time I got one. I had stopped at a bread store after PT. It was Wednesday and as I checked out the cashier tentatively said "Do you qualify for our discount?" When I found out you only had to be 50 to get their's I said "Why yes, I do!" Of course when I left the store it hit me.... I HAD JUST GOTTEN MY FIRST SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT!!!!



Was the first time as shocking to you? Since then I've come to take great pride in being able to say "Yes! I DO qualify for your discount!" At 56, I am only hitting the tip of the iceberg.



Now I qualify for discounts at Goodwill, Bob Evans, the bakery store.... I'll keep hunting and let you know as I find them.



Senior dicsounts are just one of the joys of having made it this far! Be proud to be a "senior citizen"!
