We’re retired; me year before last, Beau in 2016. We’re going to be ‘Millionaire Farmers!’
The trick is starting with $2 million dollars...and within a year, we should be ‘Millionaire’ Farmers!
Ba-Dump-Dump! :)
Thanks so much for that link——they sure do want to discourage working,don’t they?

What do I do when I retire?
Pffft, that’s easy!
Ahemmmmmm!!!
“Welcome to Walmart!” :-)
Nice try. I retired from Retail. If I never have to deal with another whining, complaining, self-involved human being again, who is convinced that everything wrong in their life is MY fault, it will be TOO SOON for me!
This does not include immediate family, friends & FReepers. :)
This this mean I can become a ‘pajama grandpa?’
Many at-home-business concepts will soon become very competitive, because we will find younger people who are being displaced by the increased use of software programs and robotics. Even high level jobs, such as being a trader of Stock Options or Portfolio Management are often being surrendered to systematic predictions based on history, not personal human reaction. That simply means an older adult must become resourceful and use the advantages of what they have personally observed over time. There are still many different ways to compile, tailor and utilize data.
What do I do when I retire? A little fishing, some fishing, more fishing, and then some more fishing.
May I ask what you do? Feel free to respond privately, or not at all if I’m being intrusive. :-)
LOL Diana!
My husband got laid off from his job and took over my business and turned it into a monster operation. I did not like it anymore. Now I sell my paintings. We are not retirement age but are set up to work through retirement if we want to.
Yes, they do. They also want to "punish" success. I have friends that started many grocery stores and a few furniture stores which, years later, they sold as ESOPS. Since their retirement income is substantial, through their hard work, they pay quite a bit more for their medicare.

Media raters, people who review content online and on television, can get paid for doing so.
Youtube was rewarding people with perks for doing this on a volunteer basis. That was the “Heroes” program.
Amazon Mturk has assignments of the same from reviewing flagged videos to Tweets to discussion board comments. That adds up to less than minimum wage if you’re doing only that task, but it is extra money.
I’m sure other systems exist on other media platforms, but those are the two I’ve seen and/or contributed to.
Writing wages have also dropped as competition from Asia has flooded in, cutting the price for many articles to a dollar per hundred words. The pay rate depends on the platform and the topic, but even Demand Media dropped pay rates for most subjects and only kept the top tier rates to those who have verifiable credentials on a topic. For example, only making $50-100 for a long article if you’re a registered nurse or have a similar degree.
The person in India can live on that, most Americans cannot.

I just turned 70 and retired 18 years ago (1/1/00). I still work part time, though, for the same guy that interviewed for my one and only job interview 51 years ago. He’s got nearly 20 years in more than I. He’s still working too, though it’s full time for him. I do roughly the same thing as I did then, though the computers no longer have vacuum tubes. I love the intellectual and social stimulation from working, and generally only do things that are fun.
Thanks for the info :)
Thanks for posting!
