Turning 60 years old is a milestone in numerous ways, not least because you have reached the decade when most people retire. If you’re like most Americans, you will retire at around age 64.
When you reach 60, it’s time to take full account of your retirement savings and figure out ways to bolster your nest egg to ensure you’re financially prepared for life after leaving the workforce.
One way to do that is to save money on discretionary spending. The good news is, reaching age 60 makes you eligible for a long list of senior discounts that might not have been available at a younger age. The list includes well-known restaurants, grocery chains, retailers and hotels.
If you want to save money eating out, traveling or shopping, here are some of the establishments that offer senior discounts to people 60 and older, based on various consumer and company sites. Keep in mind that discounts might vary by location, so it’s a good idea to check ahead first.
