Date: June 22nd, 2025 2:48 PM Author: soul-stirring set The estimate is $1,200/month from Social Security. She's done low-paying manual labor her entire adult life, and her joints are too busted to do nearly all types of manual labor now. She has a paid-off house at least. What can she do to get more money? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5741829&forum_id=2#49040361) |

Work at a national park. Try to be a concierge at a hotel. Be a secretary, an aide, or a lunch lady at the local school. Substitute teach. Work in the church office. Be a clerk at a bookstore.
Not only CAN she work, she really SHOULD work. This idea that retirement is supposed to be a 25 year vacation is insane and probably hurtful. |
