The current economic climate has suddenly created cash flow problems for retirees and those nearing retirement that was totally unexpected. Most retirement plans like IRA’s and 401K’s have seen drastic reductions in their values.

Watch the news and you’ll hear them talk about how their 401K is now a 104K. Not a joking matter for those on a fixed income. Part time work could be an answer for some but in some areas there aren’t any jobs available.

Add in the companies that have failed over the last few years leaving people scrambling to replace income expected from pensions and more and more seniors are looking for extra income.

Here in PA when Bethlehem Steel went belly up their were numerous retirees that suddenly had lost not only the pension payments but also the medical insurance that was supplied.

Because of the need for extra income more and more are looking to the internet for a way to generate some extra income. Blogging can be a perfect way for seniors to do just that.
