@yoalldudes I do some online jobs but not like real freelancer. I have regular, offline job.

@mrki444 I want to move to freelancing but I want to have a realistic view of it not some lala land fantasy that I create in my mind. At almost age 40, I still haven't figure out what I want to do when I grow up lol

I do not think freelance/online work has any retirement age. As long as you can do it, you can continue working.

@yoalldudes can't say that I am. I do not believe in luck. I believe in hard work and hustle.

Those who have found success in this are very lucky. Are you one of them?

On the contrary with the age we get more experience and we can do better work of a freelancer or as online worker! We can work here as long as we wish! In fact today on this site we have many people who already got retired in their real life jobs!

That is really nice to know. I heard the most difficult is landing the first job online.

I'm happy for you my friend. Are you naturally artistic and creative? Can this be learned as well?

I don’t think so...it’s good to earn some money in the age of retirement

I feel that retirement would be so boring without something to give some sense of fulfillment - be it a hobby or work.

@yoalldudes yeah but I am not too confident yet that’s why I am sticking with this regular job I have. I still have a child in school and is far from college yet. Freelancing can be a break or not and I might not be able to afford college of my son.

@rsa101 Surprisingly we are in the same situation. I'm too scared not to get my daughter through college if I messed up with transitioning to online jobs. It seems it will have to wait afterwards.

It's so tempting to move to online freelancing isn't it?

I guess none as long as you can still deliver what your client ask you to do. I hope I can find a lot of online job hehehehe. So I don't need to work away from home. Heheheh.

I also want to work online but it is never the right time (sigh). I guess I will have to be happy with what I have for now. I hope online jobs will always be there lol

About online career having no retirement age? I wish to eventually work from home.

Yes, I don't think there should be retirement age here, because this can avoid dementia for oldies like me.

@yoalldudes Yup, if we work we will avoid dementia because the brain is working all the time.

There is no age limit and many people opt for online earnings post retirement.

That is a valuable idea you shared. Thank you. We wouldn't have to worry that retirement will be boring. And it has never before become important that we love what we do.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, my aunt who is now 61 years old, is working as an online freelancer. She works as a bookkeeper.

Wow I'm happy for your aunt. May I ask what site she uses?
