Join the Sharing Economy
The sharing economy isn’t just for hipsters — retirees can also use this outlet to make money. Recently, George Takei — of “Star Trek” fame — starred in a humorous AARP video promoting Airbnb and Lyft as a way for retirees to bring in additional income.
If you don’t feel like sharing your home or driving people around, you can rent out items like tools, garage space or even extra parking. It might not bring in big bucks, but it’s an easy way to supplement your income or boost your retirement savings.
