Some good reading?

Yesterday, as we went for our annual flu shot (and second ever), I picked up a booklet called “Senior BlueBook”. I thought just like the Kelley Blue Book for automobiles it would get me to compute my residual value based on my year, my mileage and my overall condition.

I quickly thumbed through the book and that it was all about tricks for improving memory, tips on Medicare, nursing services, retirement homes and cremation while you wait. Nowhere could I find an easy formula to figure out what my residual value was.

Dejected, I threw the book away. I was both angry and disappointed, because when it comes to my own value, I still think it's much more than the wreck I see every morning in the mirror!
