That’s what I’m doing after being forced to retire in May 2020 due to COVID.
Like you, I had been working for the last 50 years. I started mowing grass and raking leaves when I was 10 and delivering newspapers when I was 12. I’ve been working for someone else ever since. I enjoyed my job and planned on working at least until I was 66 or so.
But, I’ve always dreamed of working for myself.
Maybe, you’re like me…working 80% of your life..to retire at less than 80% of your working income.
Well, we’re not alone. The prevailing wisdom is that by the time we retire, we should have 8 – 11 times our annual income in savings.
But, according to a Northwest Mutual survey, reported here by The Street, more half of us (baby boomers) have $125,000 or less in retirement savings.
At a 5% rate of return, that will give us only $6,250 per year ($520.80 per month).
Clearly, if we want to do anything more than sitting in a rocking chair and watching the world go by, we have to something.
So, instead of being a greeter at Walmart or flipping burgers with kids young enough to be my Grandkids, I decided to work for myself and start an online business, at home, in my spare time.
Being an early riser, I work on my business 2 – 3 hours most mornings and spend time with my wife in the afternoons and weekends.
