Seniors can rarely survive on a small fixed income, such as just social security. Most must or probably have additional retirement income of some kind, such as from previous jobs, IRAs or other vehicles, and retirement savings. That may not be enough to offer a secure retirement in your winter years. Earning money is important even for older generations.
There are many older people who have menial jobs in retail or fast food establishments. Although they may be working in part for the social aspect and to stay active, many need that little extra money they can earn to supplement their social security benefits. Your cost of living may have decreased, but your medical and prescription expenses have likely increased in your later years.
Even the wealthy often work well past normal retirement age just to stay busy and engaged. Business executives can stay in the workforce longer now than in previous years. In some cases, they may choose to work into their eighties and nineties. Some don’t need the money, but they keep earning.
For those who want to earn some money but want to keep their freedom, the network marketing (MLM or multi-level marketing) industry offers people the opportunity to run a home business for a small capital outlay. Give anyone the opportunity to achieve financial success through hard work and dedicated effort. Although most people who start a network marketing business never make substantial money from it, there are seniors who are among the industry leaders who are finding or have found true financial success. Some had never been involved in network marketing before until they became old people.
The older generation can make good profits from many of the products sold through network marketing. There are many health products sold through this medium that can be beneficial to your health. Liquid nutritional supplements are being sold in increasing quantities, as are various vitamins. Cosmetics and skin care products have been marketed through MLM for decades and continue to do so. Many have added anti-aging products to their lines. These products are of interest to those who do not want to look old. They may still feel young and vibrant, making them want to look younger than they really are.
Network marketing allows people to work at their own pace and have their own hours. Those who want to earn a lot of money spend many hours working on it to find the success they want. Those who just want an extra income can make it work.
