Take the CFP exam and start working your own hours at your own rate. .
I would if i was younger retiree, but not any more. . .

There are many villagers who could use a very good independent CFP

If financial work is what you’re looking for Citizens Bank certainly seems to do a lot of business in TV. AARP and IRS need tax assistants. There are several investment forms with storefronts in TV. Coleman Prison had an accounting job listed. The State of Florida government as well as counties usually have openings sime are remote.Here’s an idd one: HSN (Home shopping network in St. pete FL) hires only FL remote customer service operators.

For healthcare, what about Visiting Angels or another home health care or in-home hospice organization? My parents needed in-home oxygen & there were oxygen equipment delivery services with trained staff who (thankfully) helped instruct me since I had no clue about any of it. What about pharmacy tech? Rehab services assistant? Healthcare seems like it should be easy.
Good Luck!

Do not think there is a huge market for 70 year old pole dancers.

A friend got married a few years ago and tried to find him a stripper for a bachelor party but that did not go well either.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Federal Government job. $60 per hour to work from home and do nothing. Still looking. Let me know if you have any leads.

What do semi retired or retired people do for extra money, just to stay busy?

Ps. My background is in respiratory care. I love my position but something a bit less stressful sounds good.


Has anyone on this forum thought about advertising as a driver? How do seniors who have reached the point where they really can't drive get around especially to and from doctor appointments?

liability issues. . . a no go. .
my mom was doing that for school students, back and forth for doctor's appointments, etc, and as a nearly 80 y/o driver, I put a halt to that for liability

I agree that you need Iiability insurance if you are charging passengers. But, you may be able to add "rideshare" coverage to your existing auto policy. This is similar to insurance that covers Uber and Lyft drivers. Surprisingly, it may not be as expensive as you think. Driving people to doctor appointments can be a very profitable business. Some people have appointments in Ocala, Gainesville, or Jacksonville, where you can make as much as $300 to $400 or more in a few hours, especially if you need to wait for the patient to complete an appointment. There are a lot of people in The Villages who have no other choice but to pay for medical transportation. If you develop a good reputation, your service will be very much in demand.

Home-watch person
 
Does anyone have a referral for a trusted home-watch person to look in on a property in The Villages?

Joe Byers. Blue Line Services: (352-391-2894).

They offer both transportation and home-watch services. I've used them for transportation, not home watch, but if they're as good at home watch as they are at transportation I'd recommend 'em in a heartbeat.

I want to mow my own yard. Can you fill in when I am on vacation?
