Tip: #143: Start Writing a Journal
Retirement Yenta loves her life. She loves writing. She also loves writing about her life. She knows that exploring one’s past helps one make better choices in the future. So, with this in mind, your dear Yenta wants to recommend keeping a journal. This little Yenta loves nothing more than to sit back (on a rainy day, or Monday when she’s down) and read what she was doing one, two, or even 10 years ago! It gives her perspective on her past, and makes her feel more positive about her future. Besides, when this little Yenta gets asked to make a movie about her life, someone has to come up with the details. It can’t all be fiction!
Tip #126: Stick To Black & White
Retirement Yenta, upon her arrival at her Miami Beach Oasis, realized something big. The clothes she has there are of two colors: black and white. Your dear Yenta realized how great it was to be able to mix and match her ensembles without much thought. This makes Retirement Yenta smile. Simplicity in life is a good thing. These black and white ensembles are humidity friendly, light weight, and can easily go from beach to shul in a snap, with the addition of the right coverup. Now, your dear Yenta realizes that one might look a bit drab with no color, so she recommends adding a splash of color with a nice lightweight scarf. It’s good for the wind, or those days that have the slightest of chills blowing in from the ocean. Retirement Yenta says: What’s black and white and red aaaaaallll over? The answer is: Retirement Yenta in her black and white ensemble with a nice red scarf (and a bit of a burn from too much sun).
Tip #110: Stock Up on Nice Pens
Retirement Yenta believes in luxury. Luxurious things makes a Yenta feel good when she is using them. It is a much more pleasant feeling to sign a check with a nice pen, than one of those cheap give-away pens you find at your local bank. Your dear Yenta suggests you stock up now ( as people start to text more), especially if you find your favorite pen on sale. This will ensure you have your favorite things around you when you are living on a fixed income. Retirement Yenta says: Buy Now, Save for Later!
Tip #102: Go Shopping in Your Closet!
As we all know, Retirement Yenta loves a good deal. One of the best deals to be found anywhere is in the back of your closet. Yes, that’s right…YOUR CLOSET. No, that’s not a hip, trendy, new boutique. It’s that space in your apartment where you store all those clothes you wear. Your dear Yenta strongly suggests that you go digging in your closet and pull out all those clothes you haven’t worn in a while. Try them all on. Then, choose what you want to purchase (it’s free!) and donate those other schmatas to a good cause. Don’t forget to try on all those shoes in the bottom of the closet. It’s amazing what you will find that you have forgotten. Your dear Yenta says: “Since it has been a while since you have had it on, it will feel like new to you and all your friends will think so too!”

Tip 9: Buy Your Retirement Handbag
Take the time to pick out an expensive, sustainable handbag before retirement. Something along the lines of a high end messenger bag that has lots of pockets for organizational purposes. This bag will come in handy when you travel as well. Make sure to get something that has a guarantee. I like the new messenger bag from Prada. It’s classic, simple, and water resistant. I recommend getting it in black.
