Hey, frens. I was talking to a relative I hadn't seen in a very long time. She is now retired but having worked mostly in sales doesn't have a good retirement scheme. She wants to continue working, but needs to do so from home and asked if I knew of anything she could do. I really don't. Do any of you have any suggestions for something a nice, reliable lady could do? She didn't finish college so she doesn't have a degree, but she's sharp and gets things done. With so many employers needing dependable help, surely there must be something for her. Please post any ideas you have. Thanks!

Thanks for the depth of answer. My wife was just moved to part time as a dyslexia specialist. It's just as well with what they are doing to the last of the teachers with brains and experience, but I would like to supplement her income. I don't necessarily have to, but we were at a place after a great number of years where we could begin to put money away. We are both, and have always been, hard workers. I have a small aluminum construction business which I have not yet optimized. I preferred the time at my kids games and being an active part of his life as he grew. Money don't buy happiness, but having a car in the driveway certainly contributes to my happiness. Oops tangent. Point is I want to supplement her income with something we can share and that sounds perfect.
Family comes FIRST, for sure.
Selling stuff online is immensely rewarding, and not just financially. I’ve met the nicest people telling me their stories of why a certain teapot or belt buckle they bought from me had very special meaning for them, so much gratitude. Plus I LOVE the idea of recycling/repurposing, it’s always such a win/win for me as well as my buyers. There’s literally a never-ending list of things to learn about.
I wish you and your wife MUCH LUCK, BLESSINGS & PROSPERITY in your new journey 💕
Thanks for taking your time. Appreciated.
