MARVIN MEYER-UNSPLASH
I met a former bank executive who took these things into his own hands. Every month, he would open his laptop and pay the bills on their due dates, do the payments online, and this started six years ago. He was 81 years old. He was living life in retirement and just had a few dogs, a cook, and a driver to answer his daily needs. It is never too late to learn how to do these tasks even if you are just 60 or 70 years of age. All it takes is to sit down and tell yourself you can do it.
My brother who is 82 still is on Viber, text, and e-mail and this keeps his mind busy and active. So, for me, being the youngest of the retirees, I challenged myself to learn a few more techie things.1. Pay bills online. It is now so easy to use an online bank account to pay Meralco, PLDT, mobile company bills.
4. Download Spotify to listen to the music of your era or to listen to podcasts of speeches, or other interesting topics discussed by experts. You have no need for Compact Discs or USB sticks to put in your laptop. It is never too late to start. You may ask a very patient middle-aged person to teach you as the young seem to be impatient when it comes to teaching the old. They do not know why we do not get it right away. They forget we are digital immigrants while they are digital natives, being able to intuit everything without an operating manual.
