Another way to earn money is to travel in your RV and "workamp." There are all sorts of jobs for RVers, some even providing a free RV site. You can find work at RV parks and campgrounds, amusement parks, tourist areas, even an Amazon warehouse. Or you can make money selling things or work on the Internet as you travel. Not only can you earn money but RVing can reduce your expenses too, when compared to living in a stix 'b brix house. Retirement is the time for adventures! We've had many.

Most people are unaware that there's another way to increase your retirement income, if you already have some savings. More than 20 years ago the Federal government created a class of investments called Publicly Traded Partnerships (check this out on Google) that are regulated, relatively safe, and that provide
yearly dividends in the range of 5.5 to 7 percent, most of which is tax deferred, and with potential for capital appreciation of up to several percent.
Many of these partnerships have good track records of more than 20 years, and
have only rarely cut their dividend rates even in market slumps such as that in 2007-2009. Why settle for 1 to 2 percent per year when you can get 6 to 10 percent or more total return?
