Four weeks – February 14th – March 7th
My wife and I sold our home and downsized 7 years ago and moved to a senior residence and never looked back. In this four part program, I will explain the “4 hazards of aging in place” and why the consequences are so serious. I will also provide a “how to” and my suggestions on all the aspects of taking charge of your senior life and putting yourself in the safest and best position. We’ll talk home sale, downsizing, money, family impact and what it is like to live in a senior residence…..and why it is healthier…..even during a pandemic.
A four part program with some folk guitar and songs to lighten up a difficult subject.

Thursday In-Person Classes Also Available on Zoom
10:00 am – Behavioral Economics with Shai Robkin
Shai (pronounced “Shy”) Robkin works with small and mid-size business executives to leverage the power of behavioral economics.
The course introduces students to key concepts designed to help people and organizations make better decisions and avoid common pitfalls that result from instinctive human behaviors. While classical economic theory assumes that people make rational decisions, weighing costs and benefits in order to optimize the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes, behavioral economists start by asking how humans actually behave in the real world. The course covers basic theories of evolutionary psychology, automatic vs. controlled thinking, heuristics (simple procedures that people use unconsciously to reach decisions on difficult questions), prospect theory and inaccurate perceptions of risk, the role of chance, public policy and choice architecture, and when and when not to trust experts.
