“Side Hustle” defined as a secondary source of income in addition to a primary job. In recent years, side hustles for seniors have become popular to supplement social security and pensions. As with anything, please consider due diligence before committing to it especially ones that expect you to invest to get in on something which is a red flag.
After some research I found that freelance writing/editing/proofreading, tutoring, bookkeeping/accounting and virtual or present office assistant. Others are pet sitting/dog walking, crafting and selling homemade goods and gardening maintenance for others all found on a general internet search on Google.
In addition, Poshmark and Mercari are good for those who want to clean out a closet and make extra cash as well. Some people on both apps are making good money working full time in their closets presenting their items in live shows. Doing a live show is like doing a sales presentation in the corporate world which is difficult to do if you never done sales but one can learn with practice and patience. In my younger years, my side hustles were babysitting and working at Dress Barn years ago.
Truthfully, being active outside of the home is a good thing plus the extra income doesn’t hurt either.
