We hope you’ll not only enjoy our selections but also find many of them helpful as you pursue a savvy senior lifestyle. 

As for the “Jersey” designation, we’re going to focus on the southern half of the Garden State (say below I-195), but most of what we have to share will not be limited geographically. 

And as for how we define “senior,” we’ll go with 55+. You can allege age discrimination (ageism) if you’re over 40, join AARP if you’re over 50, and qualify for Medicare if you’re over 65. But we like the notion of the “active adult lifestyle” that has become synonymous with 55+ communities. 

FYI there are close to 50 million seniors (65+) in the US, which mean that we’re 15% of the total population. In New Jersey, we’re 13%.
