Six years from now I am 60 and retiring from work. I don't want to be sedentary or unproductive during those times. I still want to work and earn even if I already retire. Or start a little business with minimal capital and won't stress me out so much. Any suggestions or recommendations?

wow, thats sounds so nice actually. my parents retired few years back. my father started post office work as part time and my mother continued with her tuition. i fully understand from their point of view that it is not about money, but it is proving your worth and just being engaged. i am sure you would be able to find something in your field. if you would have mentioned about your field of operations, may be you would get some quality suggestions which you can work on right now to ensure continuity after retirement rather than starting at retirement. anyways, i would suggest you to take care of your health because health is wealth and enjoy life as it comes. dont be stressed for this reason. there can be so many social causes you can take up depending upon your interest area

You can start your own business on the area that you love doing. There is nothing can compare than doing what we want. You could also devote your time in working online but I would suggest that you devote more time in physical activities and just a little time in computer works.

Yes, I come to realize that I need to focus on physical activities because my demand of work requires mostly sitting down. Thank you.

Well you should certainly enjoy your retirement when it comes but do you have any hobbies that you enjoy? If you like making crafts or knitting or something you might be able to sell your handmade goods. Or if you're not fussed about making too much you can do sites like MyLot where you earn a little extra money for discussing things with others. If you love to write even you can join article sites that pay you for views that you get from them. I use Hubpages personally for articles
