Then I saw the commercial with Jim Garner on reverse mortgages, so I ended up getting one and was able to give up the handyman work. A year later I was approached by a mortgage broker doing reverse mortgages and now for the last 3 years I have been helping other seniors access this great program for seniors who need extra money. I am my own boss and only help seniors who need help. When I retired 9 years ago I started a handyman business that kept me pretty busy for a couple years.

However, my contention is that we should all endeavour to retire from the paid, full-time workforce as soon as we can. My view of freedom is being able to spend my days doing what I want, not rushing off to work five or more days per week to make someone else wealthy. I ended my full time work career at 58 but was offered an overseas job that was such a great opportunity, I went overseas for three years. Now 61, I'm back home in Central Australia doing my own thing. I have so many interesting things (and some house maintenance tasks) to do that I'm almost too busy to work. But because I like to keep my brain going, I work from home on several Internet businesses that I set up specifically for that purpose. Being my own boss, I work when and if I want and fit work in to suit my other activities instead of fitting my other activities in to suit work. My advice to anyone is to escape from your employer as soon as possible and live the life you have always dreamed of befor the Grim Reaper takes you to your next destination ... if there is one.
