Tips for Supplementing Your Income Well Past Retirement 
There may be many reasons why you may want to supplement your retirement income. Besides the obvious financial benefits, continuing to work well into your senior years can also be mentally and emotionally beneficial as well. So, whether you're looking for a new job to earn an additional income or if you're looking for additional work just for the fun of it, here are some tips from the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce on how to earn an extra income well past retirement.

Finding the right job for you 
Finding work in today's day and age that will accommodate your lifestyle is easy to do with the many work options available. No longer just limited to full-day in-house positions, there is also the option of flexible, part-time, and remote positions too. Seniors, therefore, have a wide array of jobs to choose from that can cater to their needs much better. That said, jobs that work well for seniors include:
 
Freelancing 
If working for yourself sounds like a dream, then freelancing could be the ideal venture for you. The beauty of freelancing is that you can leverage your knowledge in a particular area in exchange for a fee. Additionally, it is one way to earn a viable income while being able to work according to your own schedule.

Become a pet sitter 
If you have a genuine love for animals and would rather spend your day being surrounded by fluffy pets, then you should most definitely consider pet sitting as a means to earn extra income. Not only can pet sitting earn you a sizeable chunk of income (especially if you decide to start your own business) but it can also be therapeutic too. According to research, daily interactions with domestic pets are known to have a calming effect on one's mental health. It is also a great way to stay physically and mentally fit as you interact with these wonderful creatures on a daily basis.
 
Become a retail assistant 
If you love the mall and derive great joy out of assisting customers, then perhaps a position in retail might just be the ideal career for you post-retirement. In addition to this, finding work in the retail sector shouldn't be that difficult to do, as it is typically an industry where jobs are plentiful. 
 
Resort work 
Finding work at a resort is yet another viable option if you enjoy the outdoors. There are many advantages of working at a resort (besides the beautiful scenery) that include its seasonal flexibility as well as its obvious health and wellness benefits too.
