My 55+ Life

08/16/2026

Hey friends and followers, I’m reaching out asking you for a FAVOR. 🙏
You may have noticed that I’ve been creating and sharing YouTube videos again. I kinda stopped when I returned to full time work a few years ago even though I really enjoy doing it. I love my current job too, and my hope is actually that this job will take me to retirement, however if it doesn’t I want to be able to support myself without needing to find a new job, and if it does I want to have a side gig already established. So, I decided to try to get my YouTube channel built up before retirement, but with the recent monetization rule changes, my goal too has changed and I’m now trying to get monetized BEFORE the new rule kicks in on February 1st 2027. YOU CAN HELP by checking out one of the videos I’ve shared on this page, giving it a like, and SUBSCRIBING to my channel! I’ll be sharing my travels, adventures, DIY projects and of course my dogs, along with developing more long form videos once I’m retired! THANKS in advance for helping me reach my goal! 😁🎥🐾🏕️🛣️

My good friend Mona has written a book, and it’s about to be released! Help me support her by spreading the word, and if you’re in Florida, consider going to meet her in person! You won’t be disappointed!! 😁 Congrats Mona!

🚨 This is a big moment for Mona Straub! After waiting, building, writing, and pouring everything into this story… it’s finally time to introduce the official cover of her new book, "Pull Up Your Big Girl Panties."

Mona is so pleased with how it came out and has been waiting for this exact moment to share it with you.

This isn’t just a cover. It’s the beginning of a story that comes from resilience, truth, and everything it takes to get back up when life knocks you down.
