Today, I’m happy to share with you the news that Baby Boomer Super Saver was nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award! There is no money involved in winning the Sunshine Blogger Award, but I’m cashing in on it as an opportunity to talk about personal finance and ways to catch-up retirement savings after a late start.

Do you know how to retire?
We dream and plan for retirement, and save up as much money as we can. Yet once it’s time to separate from our employer, we may react like a deer frozen by an oncoming car’s headlights.
How prepared are you to get through the process of actually retiring? Are you aware of creative things you can do just prior to pulling the plug on your job that will boost your retirement income? Have you prepared for an economic downturn or recession?
As a social worker, I realize the process of retiring can be overwhelming. There are all kinds of decisions to make. You have to choose appropriate survivor benefits. Or, you may be weighing whether or not to delay claiming Social Security benefits.

What is a blog hop?
Being new to blogging, I had no idea what a blog hop was. The first time I became aware that blog hops even existed was when I discovered one over at Eclectic Evelyn’s website. Participating in a blog hop sounded like fun, though, so I decided to give it a try.
In the process I learned that a blog hop is a great way to find other interesting bloggers to follow. You get a chance to discover what you have in common with other bloggers and make new connections.
A blog hop can also be a fun strategy for promoting your own blog. If you are blogging as a creative way to catch-up retirement savings, you want more eyes on your blog. Hopefully, what you’ve written will be so entertaining that readers will check out some of your other posts, follow you, purchase your products or click on your ads to help you make money.
I know I definitely enjoyed checking out more of Eclectic Evelyn’s site! Let’s get to the blog hop Q & A . . .

It’s a Blogiversary Celebration! I’m excited to share that Baby Boomer Super Saver has successfully reached the 6-month mark. This is significant, because most new bloggers don’t stick with blogging. But for the ones who do, blogging can be a very creative way to make some extra money to help catch-up retirement savings!
It’s Baby Boomer Super Saver’s 6-month blogiversary!
As a neophyte blogger who is not very tech savvy, the learning curve has been rather steep. Yet, I am making progress and I’m very excited about the growth of this blog. The interaction with readers has been wonderful. Thank you for visiting and commenting!
The positive feedback from readers has been especially gratifying because I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface. I still have so much to learn about blogging, and so much to share about increasing wealth for retirement.

Hmm, a Flexible Spending Account? I’d been working hard at saving the world as a social worker when I first heard of the Health Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
One whole year had gone by since I started this job. It’s turned out to be a job that I love. But I had to wonder if I was taking advantage of all my benefits? Using an FSA for saving money on health care hadn’t been on my radar.
As my focus on financial independence and catching up my retirement savings became stronger, I decided to find out more about this money-saving, tax optimization tool.
Here is what I learned about Flexible Spending Accounts . . .
