Преимущества пенсионного возраста: скидки и доступ к спортивным клубам

There are advantages to being a senior citizen. Like that senior citizen discount, which, depending on the institution, begins at ages 55 to 65. Let’s say you are 60. That’s the age when you’ll get a buck off admission at local museums, find hotel discounts hovering around 10%, and can enjoy free movie admission and popcorn at the Gillioz Theatre in Springfield on the first and third Wednesday of the month. Being the spouse of a senior citizen sometimes has its perks too. For example, if one spouse is a senior but the other isn’t quite there yet, the YMCA offers a senior-rate couple membership. This one got me back into the pool. Before COVID (don’t many stories begin that way?), I was an active swimmer. Living in Springfield at the time, a good friend and I would swim about a mile, two to three times a week at a gym called the Meyer Center, about an eight-minute drive from where we both lived. Residing in the same neighborhood made it easy to hold one another accountable to the commitment while also enjoying one another’s company before and after laps in the pool.
