WEALTH

Security First ~ We all need some extra cash unless you're independently wealthy. And while we should always diversify our investments, it's also wise to make sure those investments are legitimate and worth consideration. With that in mind, beware of those who come to you. Always seek employment, investment, or a major purchase at a professional business that has an established reputation, not some entity that sent you an email or met you at a coffee shop. Online, on the phone, or in person, just practice caution when doling out money to anyone. If in doubt, ask a trusted loved one or your local banker about the investment or endeavor. Staying on top of things concerning finances can be rather difficult and even treacherous these days. That's where some savvy with cyber-security is needed and basic knowledge of the latest scams comes into play.

Income ~ There are numerous methods of generating income open to seniors and just as many opportunities await the keen eye of age. Some of us can work a "brick and mortar" job where our presence is required on a schedule, but the rest of us may not be physically able to handle such employment. Therefore, a work-at-home scenario is most likely the answer. With hundreds of ways to generate money at home, we will explore various approaches to making that moolah!

Business ~ For those of us who are up for the challenge, owning a business in the U.S. today has never been easier. Keeping that business afloat and making it a success, well that's another thing altogether. Some hobbies can be turned into a business. Skills that can be put to use on an independent basis, which is called "freelancing", can provide extra income if not a full-time career, depending on your talent. The selling of material goods, either online or off, is another way to garner the gravy, but requiring quite a bit of time and effort in the beginning. There's always "turking", the execution of various tasks such as data entry and taking surveys. This method of chasing the George necessitates focus and effort at a boring and repetitive pace, rewarding with extremely low pay. Another process of earning a keep is to do a little affiliate marketing, which is basically commission sales on the World Wide Web, directing traffic to a product or promotion, and getting a percentage of the sell or a certain amount for every email entered. Nonetheless, we are at a time in history where the world is literally at our fingertips! Click the button below to enter the world of eCommerce.
