And two of the regrets of “not having enough money after retirement” and “not saved enough for retirement” are also poised for a solution. Here are just some of the possibilities for retirees who seek additional post-retirement income that made it onto my list of Money-Making Retirement 101 List:
Money-Making Retirement Ideas 101
Pet sitting – either having the pet in your home or making pet visits at the pet’s home
House sitting – there have been retired couples who make a very tidy sum by taking care of vacationing families houses
Substitute teacher or teaching assistant – wonderful if you love children and are flexible
Turning a hobby into an income – there are numerous examples under this category. Do you love model building? How about giving a class at your local club or home owners association? Give woodworking classes. Enjoy crafts – do craft workshops or sell your one-of-a-kind items on the internet.
Do you like to sew? Many seniors at retirement and health care facilities could use your skills.
Rent out a room in your home to a student.
If you have a car and time on your hands – turn it into a profit by running errands
Have a flair for fashion and enjoy shopping? Become a personal shopper for busy people.
Enjoy using the internet – be a researcher for a writer
Start a career helping to arrange garage sales
Enjoy cooking? Try party planning/catering as a second career
The list of possible money making opportunities is only limited by your own creativity.
Are you a retired CPA? Helping seniors with their financial accounts could become a wonderful career opportunity.
The added benefit of most of these ideas is that they are ‘self employed’ and self motivated.
I would love to hear about your own personal ‘second career’ transitions.
Working to Preserve Your Wealth and Protect Your Future in a Constantly Changing World.
