[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4988262, member: 52145"] Many retirees like to work part time jobs to stay busy or make extra money for special things , emergencies, helping children, grandchildren etc. . I almost took several jobs just to stay busy about 20 hours a week. School bus driver, auto parts driver, snowplow operator , etc. I'm glad I didnt because the income from an employer is static. This covid mess has given businesses carte blanche on raising their prices 30-40 % or more in last year. The advantage of having a side hustle is you can stay ahead of inflation. In my case parts prices has gone up around 50% in the last year . But I am able to recoup that in raising my prices. The demand for my service has increased and no one is complaining. I don't like raising my prices but it is necessary. It is , however, an advantage of being your own boss. Whereas working for someone else you would be losing money and purchasing power. [/QUOTE]
