Optimism for the Retired Person

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

For 65 percent of elderly beneficiaries, Social Security provides the majority of their cash income. For 36 percent of them, it provides 90 percent or more of their income. For 24 percent of them, it is the sole source of retirement income.*

DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT…

In June 2011, the average Social Security benefit was $1,180.80 per month. The maximum possible benefit for a worker retiring at age 66 in 2011 is $2,366. But to get this amount, the worker would need to earn the maximum taxable amount, currently $106,800, each year after age 21.*

As a retired U.S. Postal worker I now enjoy my free time, but I'm also quite aware of the limitations of living on a "fixed" income. And I intend to live a long time yet! :) That's why I knew I had to do something about it! I started learning about internet and affiliate marketing a couple of years ago, mostly on my own, as a way to supplement my income. with a lot of trial and error. I'm happy to say that I have had some success over that time, but with a lot of trial and error. However, since I've found Wealthy Affiliate I feel like I have received a big boost and advantage in the learning process of earning money online. The future now looks even brighter! I continue to build my Internet Marketing business as an Independent Affiliate in more than one program, but WA offers an additional potential stream of income and a way to learn so much more about earning money online than I could ever accomplish on my own!

I love the idea that it's possible for my "work-at-home" enterprise to surpass my retirement income!

I want to thank the WA community for all your help so far in getting my website up and running, and I look forward to a long and prosperous association here. Can't wait to get started on my project! :)
