Practical Guides for Life After 60
Books for Seniors by Bruce Goldwell
Practical guides designed to help seniors travel with more confidence, uncover overlooked benefits and stop leaving money on the table.
More Than Discounts
Senior Vet Discounts focuses on helping Veterans and Seniors discover savings before they pay.
But discounts are only one part of the bigger picture.
Bruce Goldwell has also written practical guides for people over 60 covering travel, benefits, tax breaks, assistance programs, healthcare savings, transportation, utilities and many other areas where money and stress can often be reduced.
Travel Guide for Adults 60+
The Smart Senior Travel Guide
How Travelers Over 60 Get Better Treatment, Less Stress, and More Help Simply by Using the Right Words
By Bruce Goldwell
Travel does not necessarily become harder after 60 because you have lost ability.
It can become harder because airports, airlines, cruise lines, security checkpoints and transportation systems use procedures and language most travelers were never taught.
The Smart Senior Travel Guide shows travelers over 60 how to ask for assistance clearly and confidently without arguing, oversharing or feeling awkward.
The goal is simple: travel with greater clarity, dignity and confidence.

Reader Review
“This is the book I wish someone had handed my parents the year they turned 65—not ‘here’s welfare,’ but ‘here’s how to stop overpaying.’
If you only do what Chapter 4 says— complete a benefits screening, contact your aging agency, make the property-tax call, call two utilities, and ask five times for a senior discount—the book has already paid for itself. The rest is gravy.
I’d recommend it. I’d write in it. And I’d run the 25-minute checkup every January.”
