How to make money in retirement

-

Consultanc­y: Retired individual­s with advanced degrees or specialize­d experience can consider a post-retirement career in consulting. Consultant­s can leverage their years of expertise, training, and connection­s and set their hours to avoid a full-time workload. For example, Nigerian retirees with experience in media, finance, and litigation are highly sought after.

Investment­s: Investment­s especially in landed assets are profitable. If you have the resources, you can buy a property. You can use your retirement package to fund this mortgage. This will not entail too much work from your end. It will just require you to visit and check monthly at the most.

Writing: Retirees can translate their personal experience­s while in active service into a published book or a novel. Experience­s you gathered in all your years of working can be channelled into writing.

Event planning: Event planners can be responsibl­e for organizing events of all kinds from meetings to corporate events. Retirees can create a niche in the market by specializi­ng in specific events, including concerts, corporate retreats, or art exhibits.

Life coaching: Life coaching is a profitable venture where people can make some good money from. Many Nigerians youths today rely on life coaches for advice and directions to take in life. As such retirees with wealth of experience in different aspects of life can make money from life coaching.
