Here’s my final thought: ask for the discount. Everywhere. Even if you’re not sure. Say, “Do you have a senior deal?” The worst they can say is no. And if they say yes? Cha-ching. That’s your reward for sticking around this long.
So go on. Claim your free eye test. Ride that bus. Get that cheaper coffee. You’ve earned it. And if anyone gives you a funny look, just smile. You’re 65. You’re basically a national treasure now. Act like it.
