I will turn 64 next month and have considered doing something like this when I retire. He should thank God Almighty that he even CAN do stuff like this......................
Ok, ok...... I’ll choose you to reply to.
First, in retirement think long. Not necessarioly large, but long.
Then think career. Then for many think rut. Retirement must be thought of as living long, out of the “career” rut.
My advice is to not worry too much, don’t overthink. In the words of Mr Mcabre, something will turn up. and, if you pay attention, it can and will.
Working after retirement should be a certainty, not because you have to but because you want to. Work becomes something out of all you know about merely one or a small combination of all those things. You become the company. You become the seller of needed services or labor.
In the coming days of full employment, reliable providers of limited services will find outlets for application of specific knowledge and abilities.
Don’t continue to try to do what you always did. Do something different using the specific knowledge and abilities you have doing something you like. Start slow....... one day a week and you will be suprised to learn you might very well soon get tot hepoint you have more requests and more work than you want. Turning people down garners more work.
The problem with what I promote is that it will soon intefere with travel plans or fishing or golfing or such. That is the goal....... doing what you want on your terms, making a few bucks, living
