Retirement should be a time of joy, creativity, and fulfillment—but financial stress can take the fun out of it.
National I Want You to Be Happy Day reminds us that happiness isn’t just about what we do—it’s about having the financial security to enjoy it.
Here at NORA, we provide seniors with a chance to make their voices heard and protect the collective future of retirement. We also offer fun DIY crafting and activity guides to help you create happiness for yourself and others.
Enjoy a Happier Retirement Through Creative Activities and Higher COLAs
One of the greatest joys of retirement is using your time and talents to make others happy. Many seniors find fulfillment in crafting gifts, picking up creative hobbies, or creating handmade treasures for loved ones. Small gestures like these can brighten someone’s day and strengthen connections.
But when finances are tight, hobbies like crafting often take a backseat. Rising costs of materials, shipping, and even basic necessities can make it difficult to give freely.
That’s why protecting Social Security is so important. Just like crafting, advocacy is a hands-on effort—and every voice counts. Getting involved can be as simple as sharing information with friends, writing to representatives, or signing petitions that push for fair Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs).
This action is beneficial for everyone. Not only is Social Security advocacy an investment in your own future, it’s a courtesy to other retirees both present and future. Here at NORA, we’ll always be promoting fun activities and financial stability in retirement.
Happiness in retirement is something we can all create, just like a handmade gift. Let’s ensure every senior has the financial stability to enjoy their golden years and continue spreading joy. Sign our petition today to support fair Social Security benefits!
