I thought being a member of Wealthy Affiliate would be right up my alley. I am nearing retirement and would like to establish another source of income.

Ideally, I would also like to do something that helps others in some way. What a better way to spend your retirement years than to help others.

Research shows that many people work their whole lives for retirement and then find emptiness afterward. Having no purpose or passion in their lives - they soon lose interest in life, cease doing things, and die.

How sad is that!

But you need to have something to offer people in order to help them. I have found the best help is the kind that teaches people how to help themselves.

it's the old teaching a person how to fish rather than just giving them a fish - that is a lasting gift that can make a real difference.

Everybody has useful skills they can teach other people, something that helps them wake up in the morning and gives energy and fulfillment to their lives.

Many times it is creating something beautiful - like a wonderful webpage that can teach something or fulfill some need.

I have found that when you help others, you will be helped in return. You reap what you sow.

Let's do this together!
