I think I’ll become a pimp.
Large house, lots of bedrooms now that the kids are gone.
I’m a big guy and have an old cane. I can get the Mrs. to make a fur lined cape.
I do worry if a house of ill repute would violate the HOA rules. Have to check first.
After I retired the whole point of a part time job was to get me OUT of the home and meeting people.

Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
I know a gent who drives rental cars from point a to point b, usually between cities.
Gets him out of the house a couple days of the week and he likes the drive time.
bump and book mark.
I tried to become a gigolo after I retired.
Damn near starved to death.
I wanna start a Foundation and be able to violate laws too without getting in trouble. Like Killary.
Or maybe claim I’m an Indian, like Fauxchahontus, and qualify for all kinds of bennies to start, maybe, a casino.
I grow hay. In a good year I can break even!
Warning. Social Security “benefits” will be taxed if you earn “too much”. Plus you get to pay self-employment tax if you have a business. Plus your medicare premiums will rise if you earn “too much” money.
The current system sucks, and punishes those with a lifetime of skills that they can put to good use.
Thank you, democrats and republicans.
Monday morning is still hard, though.
DH, now in landscaping and automatic irrigation, looks to a future in which drones will be the mainstay. He feels there is a lot of potential business in this industry which will be ripe for the taking.
Myself, perhaps a sleep clinic testing pillows or bed heights. Will settle for a position in which being able to watch movies and television is an attribute.
“Pimpin’ ain’t easy.”
Ain’t that the truth!
“Plus your medicare premiums will rise if you earn “too much” money.”

I was not aware of that. I’m on Medcare, as are most of my friends, yet I have never heard anyone mention it.
Don’t need income but needed something to do after unexpectedly retiring from medicine due to health issues. The irony, it burns.
Woke up one morning with a plot and a desire to write. Never had a thought about writing before.
Wrote the first three books in about a year and of course made no money to speak of.
Am in the process of finishing the fourth which should be out in a few months. Don’t expect to make any money on it either but the writing has improved and my beta readers like it and describe it as a page turner....hope springs eternal.
I don’t recommend writing as alternative income. The business is cutthroat and the competition is fierce. Thousands will enter, few will win.
After working in NY State's prison system for 25 years, the last thing I wanted to do was meet people. One thing I found out after retirement is that there isn't enough hours in a day to do everything I want, and that time flies by even faster after retirement. I've been retired since 2003, and have loved every minute of it. I'm a late nighter, stay up usually to 3 a.m., and have plenty to keep me busy. I spend 4-5 hours each day just reading. One of the joys of retirement is not having to be in a certain place at a certain time every day. There is life after retirement. It's up to you whether it's enjoyable or not.
I’m 76 and doing online work since retirement at age 62. Has made a difference in outlook, activeness, aging and personal income. Trick is to turn what you know into an online presence that pays enough to make it worth your while and liking what
you do.
RE Agents. Wife and I are retired peace officers running RE Company from home. Our four associates don’t have to cover the office.
