Zombie The Coronavirus Financial Thread (Personal, Local, National)

This is why we have blonde jokes....

 

Oh shit, my wife and I have memberships at $50/yr. each. We'll never get a deal like that again.

 

My mom did too, but her deal was from Silver Sneakers, a program through Medicare, I believe. Maybe you and your wife can avail yourselves of it?

 

My wife also has Silver Sneakers and I do too. We never think about it so we forgot we had it. My wife reminded me when I reminded about it and told her while I was talking about it in here.

My wife is also in some sort of 24 Hour Fitness program from being retired from a Pepsico company.

 

Yep
Under various Medicare Advantage or supplement programs Silver Sneakers is covered 100%.
But in reality it’s worked into the price of the coverage. Wife and I have been retired for 7 years and have used it diligently. Her gym SNap has been open a couple weeks and mine 24 hour opens the 22nd. I don’t believe that strictly Medicare provides gym membership.

 

All she needs now is a berka

I think my wife and I still have a few shares of Yum brands (formerly TriCon Global). We got it when Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell were spun off from Pepsico where we owned stock. It's been a good money maker until now.
