If sitting still just isn’t your thing, it’s the perfect time to quash the “should haves” and “would haves”. Starting a business in retirement carries less risk than it might have in your youth, keeps you active, and can help offset the cost of a passion project. We talked to one Shopify merchant who did just that, finding happiness in working after retiring from working.
Key Takeaways:
- Type “retirement” into stock photo site’s search bar and most of the results include either white-haired golfers or two beach chairs facing a sunset.
- Retiring at 60 is not the same as it was decades ago—we’re living longer, we have better health care.
- Tom built the ranch up to 133 animals at its peak, and it thrived as a breeding operation. Bernie and his wife moved closer to the ranch to begin their new “working” life in retirement.
