There are lots of way to get extra income and to stay active as a retiree.
The time is nearing, your finances are in order and your countdown is almost complete… that’s right we are talking about retirement!
As exciting as it is to enter into retirement, it can be difficult for some folks to start digging into the retirement account that they worked their whole life to build. Getting a part-time job as a retiree is a great way to establish a small source of income and to stay active and involved with your community.
Milledgeville State Bank wants to help those retirees who would like to find part-time work as a retiree with the following ideas:
- If you loved your full-time job, consider keeping your position only with less hours. This is a great option as it offers you the comfort of a job you already know how to do with co-workers who understand your retirement plans.
- For a little variety, check out seasonal part-time positions. For example, around the Christmas season, many retailers need extra part-time help. In the summer, amusement parks and golf courses typically look for more part-time help.
- If you have an interest in government, you may enjoy sharing your wisdom and experience with your local government. Depending on the time of year or when the next series of elections will be, there are a variety of seasonal and part-time positions to help you get involved in government or politics.
- Although it doesn’t produce income, volunteering is a great way to spend your time in retirement. Working for a cause or program that you genuinely care about can help keep your mind sharp and involved with your community. Your passion, hard work and volunteerism may even just lead to a paid position.
Milledgeville State Bank wants to congratulate you on your life-long hard work as you enter into retirement! If you are interested in more options to save for retirement, contact us today.
