2022 Best Websites and Blogs for Retirement, Positive Aging & SMART Living!

By Kathy Gottberg
Filed under: Aware, Meaningful, Rightsized

It’s that time again!  For the last five years I have considered it a privilege to scour the internet to find what I consider to be the best blogs and websites I can find.  Like SMART Living 365, these are personal blogs and not commercially driven websites to make money. I tend to focus on the topics of positive aging and retirement but I decided to include all my favorites this year. Why not? And while my list certainly doesn’t contain all the sites available on these topics, I think that they are noteworthy and offer thoughtful, creative and provocative insights.

While some are the same from past years, as always, I have added some new ones and trimmed a few old ones that are no longer active. Thank you to each of the authors and creators who put in the time and effort to provide such helpful ideas and information while sharing their lives and experiences with all of us throughout the year.  They cost nothing except the time to read.

Filed under: Aware, Thankful

For the last four years I have considered it a privilege to scour the internet for what I consider to be the best blogs and websites about positive aging and retirement I can find.  While my list certainly doesn’t contain all the sites available on these topics, they are personal favorites that I believe are noteworthy and offer thoughtful and provocative insights on the subjects. Plus, for the most part, I believe they are also fun to read and uniquely different. Thank you to each of the authors and creators who put in the time and effort to provide such helpful ideas and information while sharing their lives and experiences with all of us throughout the year.  Taken together I believe that those of us who read the wisdom found in these sites will surely benefit with a healthier, happier, more content and SMART life as the years go by.

Best Positive Aging And Retirement Websites For 2018

By Kathy Gottberg
Filed under: Aware, Meaningful

Two years ago I began publishing a list of the best blogs and websites on positive aging and retirement I could find.  Now, for the third year in a row I want to continue to promote and provide exposure to those sites that I believe deserve recognition.  Like most of us know, it is very easy these days to get lost in the shuffle of the blogosphere.  But what I’ve also discovered is that most of the authors and blog publishers in this field especially, are passionately committed to spreading the word about how great it can be to get older.   This year I am even more excited and enthusiastic because the research and news continue to show that nearly every single person who ages (no matter what their current age) can look forward to a longer, more meaningful and yes, happier life as they grow older—retired or not.  Want to know more?  Then check out my updated list below of the best resources I’ve found from 2018.
