I am 65 years young and "retired". This concept is actually not a reality. I believe one only "retires" the day you go 6 foot under! I have grown up in the corporate world. From cost clerk to board member.
I spent most of my "working years" in the Human Resources field.
Unfortunately "pension" provision is proving to be inadequate and I need another stream of income, hence my presence here to investigate this opportunity.
UPDATE
I am astounded by the amount of good and useful information I am finding here. This made me realise that it is not a case of "Bam, Wham the money comes in" but a case of being patient and making sure you get all the steps right first as many people have told me "baby steps".
BTW, my name is Theo and the s is the first letter of my surname. Just in case there is another Theo here and we get mixed up. :-) ( I am based in Cape Town - South Africa )

From one HR dude to another, welcome to WA. I have the same goals as you and hopefully we'll "make good" here. It is a great place. All the best
Hey theos, here's that link you were asking about for Pot Pie Girl's training:

A big THANK YOU Theo for following.
There is a hand full of people feeling "young" not "old" when they talk about age :o)
Congrats for feeling "YOUNG"
Long time ago a gentleman out of some intelligent field mentioned that we are actually built to live longer a 150-180 yrs span for our current stage. We don't reach that age because of all the conditioning imposed upon us by the family, society and ... our own one.
So, at 65 you just graduated your primary school :o)
Something tells me that you'll have a nice ride towards your goals
To your Success > Mircea aka Excellence
ps ... never liked the Human Resources term > it sounds like there is no difference between humans an let's say ... coal or oil & gas
I prefer Personnel ... but it's just my personal take on it :o)

Thank you for the good wishes Mircea! You have the right attitude to take you all the way. Enjoy the ride!
The term Human Resources does not imply a lower standing for employees, in fact, it recognises that they are the most important resource that any organisation can have. Without committed employees an organisation can achieve very little.
The Human Resources Division includes Personnel, recruitment and placement, employee health and welfare, wages and salaries, security, industrial relations, as well as training and development which is my own field of speciality.
Just using the term personnel would therefore be inadequate to describe the functions correctly.
In Genesis 6 verse 3 God gave us all at least a 120 years lifespan, but He also gave us free choice. So you are right, if we conform to the world, and its influences, very few people actually reach that.
My very best wishes to you for your success!

Hi Theo, thanks for following me. As I’m also new to WA there’s lots to learn, but it is a great supportive online community. I've been here for a short time but learnt that it's best to ask questions if you need any help, or you could try searching for your answers within WA. If you haven't already done so try starting with "Getting Started". If you do have any questions along the way best place to start is to write a blog, ask questions via the forum (Open Chat) and build your Network. You may like to follow people like Potpie Girl, Seth Layton, Jay or known as Magistudios, Kyle and Carson and ask them questions directly, as they are very experienced and always happy to help. After all we're all here to learn and to help each other. So congratulations on joining WA and I wish you every success in life and it’s great to see you here at WA, Adrian :))
Thank you for following "TheAffiliate" in WA Community Theo "s", my name is Travis! Hope you are having a Happy Holiday's... Look forward to seeing you around the WA Community Talk soon BTW many baby steps for sure!

Cape Town! It's such a beautiful city. I visited your city several times some 30 years ago. I'm sure it has changed a lot, but the natural beauty must still be there.
In this internet business you have to beware of the promises of quick riches, not only because they are false, but because they can waste your money, and your precious time.
That's why you are lucky to have a start at WA.
All the best,
Juan

Welcome to WA! I hope that you find this online business community to be a valuable resource as I have! It sure seems overwhelming at first but if you take baby steps and commit to learning a little bit every day you will be on your way to reaching your online goals!!
Yes I've been learning alot this past yr, but then I have a lot more to go when one says they have learned all that they can, that is most likely a sad time in their life & or they n eed to wake up & smill the roses or maybe to give them a quit start again some strong smelling souce.
hi theo, thanks for following me, i understand what you mean about not retiring till your 6ft under, i lost both my parents in the last couple of years and sadly both of them seemed to have only a couple of years of retirement & so called relaxation before they went, it really shouldn't have to be that way,
Theos. I not quit their yet I'll turn 61 this Dec. but, I do mosty agree with you though & thanks for the follow.

Welcome to WA Theos. There is a lot more to learn here than meets the eye. Take your time and go through the basics that Kyle and Carson have outlined for you. Then keep digging deeper. Most importantly, take action on each thing that you are learning as you learn it.
I certainly wish you much success.

Thanks Theos. I tried to get my dad into this, but I don't think he really cares to do it. I know he gets on Street Articles occasionally on his own time since he likes to write though. He was branch manager for a while at Terminix before working for Orkin, and now he runs a Bait & Tackle Shop here in town. I know it's helped me and my sisters/brother understand business and other things.
I started this back about 2 years ago mainly out of the curiosity of wondering what I could do online to make money and be able to do things on my own terms. I'm actually finishing up a really big website and I'm hiring people to write for it. I'd be glad to reserve you a writing spot for it when the time comes. I'm eventually turning the site into a free blogging site and a gaming article as well which'll only sky-rocket the sales. I'll need to learn php coding, html5, and some other coding language to put it in action on a Virtual Server through GoDaddy.
I read your profile, and I've read a lot about how people trying to retire not having sufficient funds. I think people like you the government needs to start treating more with respect instead of hurting your pension plans. But yeah, I'd be glad to give you a writing job and feature your site alongside your writing job I'd be paying you for. You'd be writing for a sub-directory website (such as domain name dot com THEN /apps or something. You can read about sub-directories & Sub-domains on Matt Cutts blog - he's head of Google Web Spam team.
I have my site setup to where I can bring on more and more writers as time progresses. So theoretically, I could have over 100 writers working for me while they're all getting paid like $1000 a month. I'd need to effectively expand on each sub-directory website on the pages and structure them to where I'm getting more pay from them than what I'm paying the writer (of course).
Taking what I learned here in Wealthy Affiliate, I actually plan on setting up my own offline business (with its own website) here during the later part of my college years.
You don't need to go as far as this though. Setting up a simple niche site will do the trick. If you're good, you could set it up to where you don't have to update it much but normally you'll want to submit at least 1 post a week after you've setup all the structure work for it to be making around $500 or more a month (the structure work is the hard part - lol).
If you need anything, feel free to stop by and ask me or any of the other experienced members here in Wealthy Affiliate. Good luck.

I have just gone through your post in detail. Thank you for your kind offer of a writing job. That would be most appreciated. I like the way you think. Nothing was ever achieved by thinking small. You have a great, possitive attitude and that will take you a long way towards success.
Keep up the positive thinking and you will reap your rewards!

Hey Theos,
for rank, you can attain it by submitting primarily training tutorials & gaining a following on Wealthy Affiliate. (so if you follow everybody on here, everybody may follow you back in return). I suggest creating a power site and making quite a bit of Wealthy Affiliate referrals by-monthly before seriously putting in a serious amount of time helping others on Wealthy Affiliate. I mean, I'm not saying don't help people at all until you do, but I'm just saying making money instead of spending all your time in here is the main thing.
Later on after you submit a bunch of Training guides, attain high rank in, have a big following, and get near the top 10 of people, (and making a good amount of Wealthy Affiliate referrals each year), you could get to go to Vegas with Kyle & Carson along with the other top super affiliates like Jay, Ryan Moran, Jennifer Ledbetter, Steve, Marcus, and others.
Good luck.

Hi Theo's, There are a few remarkable pensioners here on WA. Starting from no computer and are happily with the community. "Getting Started" is the best kept secret. It will give you a strong foundation for online business. If you get fustrated the live chat is a great place to ask questions. Wishing you many successes!
