Work Anywhere

My wife and I are lucky enough to have a motorhome (or a camping car if you're reading this in French).  Actually we've just swapped our old one for a nice shiny new one.  Not that we meant to.  We had brought our 'van' in for a service that was going to take all day, so we wandered around the showroom in that slightly bored, mildly inquisitive,'wonder what that one's like inside', kind of way.  Well, tucked away in one corner of the showroom was this unregistered last year's model - bargain.  We struck a deal with the salesman; bit of haggling, but he was a nice man and we ended up with a new motorhome.

Trouble is it would take 3 - 4 days to sort everything out, so we decided to stay on site while they dealt with all the bits and pieces that need to happen on these occasions.  Fortunately they had Wi-Fi on the site.

The point is that, although I'm sort-of retired, I did get an idea for a part-time business from the Retirement Revenue website and I can do almost all of the work involved either over the internet or by phone.  It's great!  I can work from anywhere that I can connect up to the internet.    Camp site, hotel, Starbucks, or even via the mobile network.  So I can enjoy the freedom that comes from my semi-retired status and travel around in the new van, but still run a small business that supplements the modest pension.  Happy days!

Have a look at the Retirement Revenue website and see if you can pick up an idea to make yourself a bit of extra cash without sacrificing your freedom to roam.  Here's the link. http://retirementrevenue.co.uk.

Be well.
