A retirement village calculator
A new retirement village calculator developed by business analysts is designed to protect seniors from making devastating financial mistakes. The free calculator takes a complex range of fees such as entry fee, ongoing fees and exit fee, and calculates a simple ?equivalent monthly rent' for the years of residence. A second version of the app will be aimed at people who advise consumers considering retirement villages, such as lawyers and financial planners. www.rvcalculator.org

Your driver's license on your phone

It will mean less tension in approaches to your vehicle because identities will be known. Iowa is the first U.S. state that will offer digital driver?s licenses following pilot testing. https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-human-os/biomedical/devices/qa-digital-drivers-licenses-go-digital
