Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About AGING ...But Were Afraid to Ask!
Aging in our society is like stepping into an alternate universe. It looks the same, but it’s really not!
Dangers that could ruin the rest of your life:
* Medical professionals who think a three-question test is sufficient to label you mentally impaired
* A broken guardianship program where a used-car dealer is made a judge — and he can declare you incompetent without even seeing you.
* Medical research that has willfully ignored seniors — risking your health and even your life
Get the dirty little secrets — and how to protect yourself! — from a society that mostly prefers to warehouse and then forget its seniors.
Then this “delightfully optimistic book” will open a world of great choices for you:
* Retire — or don’t
* Get credit (and respect!) for your life experiences
* Get all the love, sex, and fun(!) you want
* Learn how to live the way YOU want — whether others approve or not.

About the author
Marlene Jensen
15 booksMarlene Jensen is a 2020 retiree — at 73-years-old.
Her latest book started with a blog she launched (SeniorDefender.net) in 2017 — as she tried to figure out this aging stuff she was facing.
Previously Jensen was a VP/Publisher at CBS, a consultant on marketing at ABC, Food Network, etc., an entrepreneur — with dozens of startups launched — and a professor (now emeritus) of marketing and pricing at Lock Haven University. She’s also the author of four books on pricing strategy.
In her “retirement” she continues her blog, offers courses on pricing strategy (PricingPsychologyInstitute.com), and is designing a new line of jewelry.
Jensen offers free advice to would-be entrepreneurs — through volunteering with SCORE and through her free website Help4Entrepreneurs.com
Sadly, none of the above has prepared her for the onslaught of marketers who now think her daily interests/needs consist solely of hearing aids, wheel chairs, adult diapers, medi-alert buttons, medications, and bath tubs you walk into.
