Retirement Savings

Many people planning for retirement have this idea that if we save, invest, and plan, there is an endless list of things to do and a life of leisure that awaits us.

They believe their time will be filled with endless family activities, hobbies, and vacation destinations.

The thought of being rewarded with a life of leisure motivates many of us to save, plan, and eventually eagerly bring our careers to an end.

But, on entering retirement, we find a  story of working and then reaping reward is not what we thought it would be.

More often than not, our savings are not enough, especially if we have the added responsibility of caring for our aged parents and, in some cases helping our adult children financially.

In cases like this, there is no alternative but to seek another source of income to supplement our fast-dwindling savings.

Extra Income

We cannot see ourselves returning to a regular 9-5 job, dealing with workplace politics, and enduring the terrible traffic getting to and from the workplace.

So we find ways to earn extra money by working odd jobs; we may drive for Lyft or Uber, or some of us who are good at repairing stuff will sell our services as a Handyperson, house cleaner, etc.

I have found online marketing after trying many different things to make money online.

Wealthy Affiliate

I found the Wealthy Affiliate platform; I became a member for free (no cost). I had no knowledge of affiliate marketing, but the ad I saw said they would teach you, and I could not desire better.

Wealthy Affiliate is not an online scam; you will not have a buy or sell anything to get training, you will not be locked into a long-term commitment, you can work your online business part-time, and there is no need for you to be up to date on computer technicalities.

Free Membership

I became a free member, built my first website, and posted the first post. I was so impressed with the little I experienced that I became a premium member monthly ( no long-term commitment) that I decided to become a yearly premium member.

If you need to upgrade to premium, I would suggest yes, especially if you are new to online marketing.
