Thinking of going back to work at 65.

Posted on 04/24/2019 10:12:30 AM PDT by Catmom

Any thoughts? Personal experiences? Advice?

BTW, it's voluntary, pretty much not necessary financially. I've been getting an income stream from my investments and just signed up for Medicare.

Thanks.

“... it’s voluntary, pretty much not necessary financially.”

What is your reason for wanting to do it?

If it’s boredom/time on your hands, I would choose something to do that’s more personally rewarding than “going back to work”.

I am a Registered Investment Advisor. I own my own firm.

A retiree can make a very good part time administrative assistant to a person like myself or an insurance agent. 15-25 hrs per week and a pleasant office environment. 15-20 per hour.

You would need a spotless criminal record, good written skills, understanding of msft word/excel and be professional in manner and appearance.

work is healthy ... balance it with relaxation ... avoid too much of either ...

You always an ass or did it become a learned experience? Don’t mess with a person’s dignity.

Drive for UBER...you can rent a car from them ...rental fees are tax deductible....also the mileage with passengers at 55cents a mile.

Easy job, your own boss sitting down..meet interesting people.

If you want a more physical job...try as a package handler at FedEx or UPS.

I retired at 40 while I could still ride sled and 4 wheelers hard, now that i’ll be 60 in the next couple month’s I re started my company mfg. bar stools and restaurant chairs.

From here on out I plan on working to the day I drop dead, start a nice little company where you can work at the pace and times that suit you and you don’t have to listen to anyone else opinion if you don’t want.

78 here. Work part-time employment in field that I love. Most men I know at my age still keep a hand in the working world. Just make sure what you do can be scheduled around travel, family, exercise, hobbies etc.
