As we move from one phase of life to the next, we are faced with decisions about  health, finances and housing.  All of these decisions range from the simple to the complex.  In each of these phases we also have opportunities and new options that present themselves, such  as employment, community service, continuing education, socialization as well as  recreational and cultural activities.
