For tutoring, there are many sites, Facebook groups etc. where you can list your services. Since I’m not tutoring to maximize income, I decided to become a contract employee at a company that does all the administrative work of finding students and billing. That way I can concentrate on working with students. As a W2 employee, I guess I’m not really “retired” LOL.
Thanks. The “decumulation” phase is a challenging problem. I have more thoughts on that…may dive on it in another article. “Keep it Simple” is a good maxim as you approach your situation.
The fact that collectible types go in and out of favor surprised me initially. But, on reflection it makes sense. Similar to equity categories (growth, small cap, etc).
Thanks Jeff. My dad also purchased proof sets for a number of years. They are beautiful, little works of art. The surprising thing is, they are worth LESS today than my dad paid form them! The coin dealers told me the mint turned so many of them that it diluted the value for most of the sets.

I’m doing things unrelated to my career skills and enjoying it. I find I don’t miss software coding as much as I feared before retiring.

Kudos to you for realizing your first ideas for post-retirement activities weren’t a good fit! That flexibility is key for fulfillment I believe.

Hi. That is correct. We’re living from our financial holdings to bridge us to maximum SS at age 70.
