Retirement ended your commute. It didn't end your bills.
Social Security arrives on time - and so does everything else. If the gap between the two has you searching "how to make extra money in retirement," this book was written for you.
Retired but Not Done walks you through 12 realistic, low-stress income streams for people 65 and older. No get-rich schemes. No risky investments. No pretending you want another job. Every idea in this book passes four tests: little or no money at risk, you control the schedule, nobody stands over you, and you can start within 30 days.
Inside you'll find:
- Honest pay ranges for every idea - real math you can redo for your own situation, not hype
- Step-by-step first moves: what to charge, who to call, what to say
- Low-tech on-ramps for every stream - if you can make a phone call and pin a flyer to a board, you can start
- The Social Security earnings rules in plain English (for most readers over 65, side income does not reduce your check - and you'll see exactly why)
- Simple tax guidance: what to set aside, what the IRS actually expects, and what isn't taxable at all
- The scams that specifically target retirees looking for income - and the red flags that expose every one of them
- A 30-day plan that takes you from "I should do something" to your first check
From consulting and tutoring to pet sitting, renting out idle space, notary work, and making your savings finally earn their keep - each chapter tells you what it honestly pays, who it fits, who should skip it, and exactly how to start.
You spent a lifetime being useful. This book is about getting paid for it - on your schedule, at your pace, with your savings untouched.
