Inflation has hit retirees especially hard, and this has some seniors looking for ways to supplement their monthly Social Security benefit checks. Entrepreneur magazine came up with some excellent suggestions for retirees looking to launch a second career or just a means to boost their income.

If you want to earn a bit of extra cash but maintain a work-life balance, then consider a part-time job. Great options for seniors are substitute teachers, ride-share drivers, or security guards.  

You can also leverage your skill set to start a second career after retirement. Many former professionals do this, launching new careers as real estate brokers, management consultants, or financial planners.  

Retirement is the time many seniors devote to honing their talents through hobbies. Why not consider trying to generate money by becoming a music teacher, wedding photographer, or interior designer?

While all these suggestions are great, retirees would not need to be worried about supplementing their income if they could rely on Social Security.  The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the financial well-being of America’s retirees through passage of The Social Security Expansion Act. It will give retirees an immediate $200 per month (average) benefits increase, a fair annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), and increased minimum benefits.
