Retirement savings - Tips You Can Live With

Written by Sam Phillips on October 24, 2008 – 4:52 pm -

Retirement savings can be slim right now with the cost of nearly everything going up. With the economy in a crunch who doesn’t need to save? Health care insurance, car insurance, home and fire insurance among other things.

Here are several tips that may make you smile:

Retirees are the smartest people in the world. You’ve lived long enough to know how to do so many things young folks don’t yet have a clue on. For example…

Nearly everyone has a hobby but a rare hobby could be in great demand. If you know how to produce ” old timey ” stuff you might find yourself staying busy making them. Retirement has its advantages but for those who sadly have lost their loved ones, it can be a lonely affair.

So much more the reason to search out another person local who is alone and see if they’d like to double up to make money from these outdated designs. Two heads are better than one. Also, like for men, one may have a machine or tool shop already setup. Both could share equal expenses for any project you build plus share equal profits after the overhead.

( However, two could do this, even if their mate is still living. )

What are some items that you often don’t see except perhaps at a antique shop or store? Remember the old corn grinder? I haven’t see one since I was a kid. The old hatchets we used to cut and shock the corn. I haven’t saw those for many moons. ( years )

The old model cars, crank and all, are very popular, if they can be found. Could you do something like this? Ah, the old locomotives scale models. They are high in demand, but very hard to find.

You ladies can cut in on these retirement savings too. What about the old hats? Sorry, I’m sitting here trying to think what they’re called, but it aludes me at the moment. Perhaps, one of you kind women can straighten my memory out. Anyway, laugh at me, but I think that might be a well selling hobby to make some good retirement money.

And dear ladies, what about the old churn. Something else hadn’t see for many years. If you couldn’t make one, twist the arm of your hubby until he does. You could enjoy making some very decent money and it really isn’t that hard.

Another plus is the fellowship. One thing I’ve noticed among many retirees is just plain loneliness. Women especially, seem to crave getting together and just talking. We men do too. Not as much though. My wife loves getting together with other women and chatting. It actually makes her happy and elated. I’ve always been somewhat of a “quiet” person who can be by myself or around people either one. So I’m sure it is a relief to fellowship with others.

So there’s a couple tips for retirement savings and fun get togethers. By the way, to save my life, I can’t remember what the older style hats women wore. If anyone knows, pass it to me, so I can use the right terms. My granny wore one all the time . Have fun making money and new friends too.

Retirement - Work At Home Jobs - Have Peace

Written by Sam Phillips on August 28, 2008 – 11:37 am -

Retirement work at home jobs should not only bring you in a great living financially. There should be peace and loving qualities, between husband and wife. ( Yes, I’m old fashion, I still believe in love ) Being on retirees forums I comment and I read. One big issue seems to be between husband and wife after retirement.

Of course, you’re together much more now, but where did common sense go?

Can anyone say after 4o years, you’re getting tired of the foods you love to eat? What about water, tea, or your favorite drink? No, you still go to the fridge, open it, and pour into a glass what ever you enjoy, right?

Ok, treat marriage and retirement work at home jobs the same way. When you worked, you were absent for 8 hours. You’re still employed, only now you work for yourself in a home style atmosphere. You should have your seperate, quiet office space alone, in a different room from everyone else. Your home business.

Plan your daily activities, do them, then enjoy your time together the rest of the day. Go bowling, skating, do things together you both like, golf, fishing, shopping, hunting, whatever. Enjoy helping your mate get the most out of what they love and thrill to do.

Most likely, you’ll really not be together more than you were before, if you’re serious about your business.

I’ve found that retirement, working a home job, can bring you financial independance and freedom that actually can bring a husband and wife into a closer relationship. Try it! You just may enjoy this so much you just wouldn’t have it any other way. Get your free guide now to get started.

Retirement Jobs - Have Fun Not Boredom

Written by Sam Phillips on August 19, 2008 – 10:30 pm -

Did you know retirement jobs are good for you? It’s true! Many test have proven that people who are bored and unhappy get sick much more often. Mental Institutions are filled with people. Many case histories have shown that large groups of mental illness starts with a dull lifestyle.

In other words:

Many of these people had no goals driving them, there was no lovely music, no exercise, no laughing and having a merry heart, no looking forward to the delightful smile of a little child, no self amusement. (Pardon all the no’s, I hate them too) Do some simple research to prove this a fact.

Retirees working retirement jobs are usually much more healthy. Their brains are sharper, they face life with a more positive attitude. They smile more, have more confidence. They tend to have more fun.

There’s folks that work to retirement then go sit out on the porch all day watching the traffic go by. Day after day. Weeks into months. One day they’re not out there and you find out they unexpectably passed away.

Fellow retirees, we need exercise and to do work even more than the younger generation. We need to do some good old fashion physical work both with our body and our brain. Did you know learning a new language will actually cause your brain IQ to rise? Did you know walking increases the oxygen to the brain, therefore making your brain sharper?

Make a point of having fun around home or shopping.

Don’t ride the powerful mower that cruses like a cadillac and you almost go to sleep it is so comfortable. No, instead use the push mower. Why? You’ll lose weight, you won’t be bored, your body and brain will work better. Do you need more reason? Go shopping, park your vehicle as far away from the stores as possible and walk.

So whether your retirement jobs are at home or abroad find ways to have lots of fun and get plenty of exercise. Ride the bike, carry your groceries, climb the highest hill, run in a handicap marathon. (Only do these things if you’re healthy and with the good judgement and good sense of your health advisor.) Have fun working fellow retiree, you’ve earned it.
