Java Swing: (1) How to put a title and (2) a little mess with If statements

Hi experts!

I am writing a simple code to calculate phone bill in which clients get discounts (10% each for senior citizeins (over 60) and another 10% for subcribers of 3 years or longer).

What I would like to get your help with are:

1. To put a title

2. To make if statements (toward the end of the code) work properly.

I've never used that many multiple if statements and they are a little overwhelming for me. I hope that there is a better, simple way to do the job.

Hope you experts may help me again.

Thanks a lot!
