Small Business Boomers

With the current economic crunch, more boomers seem to be delaying retirement (if they have this option), getting another job (possibly parttime) or starting their own business.

Perhaps they have a mix or two or all three of these.

Do you fit into any of these categories?  Has life affected you differently in recent years than you had planned?

We can either moan about it or treat it as an exciting adventure!

I took a parttime job in a supermarket delicatessen this summer, and it’s continued into winter.  It actually takes me back to my roots, since I worked in my mother’s small grocery store when I was in high school and college.

From wondering if I’d fit in and could do the work that younger people were accomplishing at the deli, I’ve found it a delightful experience.  I’ve made new friends with co-workers.  Some I’d known previously while others are new friends.

I also get to see customers/friends I’d not caught up with for several years.  This work also keeps my mind active and me fit  physically.

This parttime work also gives me time to keep my home business going.

What about you?
